JL welding Issues

[maxmxa]

Has anyone heard if these weld issues have been resolved in 2020 and 2021 models?
Man, I hope this has changed by now. I got rid of my 2019 JLUR for this reason and steering issues, but it sounds like nothing has changed.

I had my brand new Rubi inspected by two professional auto welders for all of the porosity (holes), slag, rusting, etc. They told me that the only thing that would "fix" the welds is to grind the porous welds down to the point of fusion/penetration. So, basically grinding away the weld past the point of the holes. This seems excessive and, like others have stated, would void any factory warranties on the vehicle related to the chassis or wherever grinding and re-welding took place.

Those are much better. You got lucky and the weld robot was calibrated correctly on your rig. I would hate the see the frames on the line after mine. It could have only gotten worse unless someone stepped in and corrected the robot's calibration, gas shielding, or other settings.
