We have found that after removing the bolts from the cross member under the jeep that the holes are rusted out. In fact the frame on both sides of our jeep are rusted through from not having any drain holes for the water to drain out.

While driving down the road, speed doesn't matter bc it has happened at multiple speeds, the speedometer and tachometer will drop to nothing, while the other gauges like gas, oil pressure, temperature and such do not have any issues and remain where they should be! A few seconds after the speedometer and tachometer drop, the engine light comes on and the odometer will read 'no bus', a few seconds to a minute later the gauges will resume and the engine light and 'no bus' disappear! Another example of this is the speedometer and tachometer will drop and other gauges not be affected like previous scenario only with this one the airbag light will illuminate, lasts for a brief period and then goes back to normal! It happens sporadically, but have noticed it happens more on bumpy roads! None of this has happened while the vehicle is stationary at idle! All while driving down the road, various speeds, various types of roadways!

The front portion of the frame has rusted from the inside out, nearly severing the steering gear box and frame, from the rest of the frame. In addition the frame in the same location on the passenger side was also soft to the point that i could compress the frame with my bare hand. I discovered the problem after investigating why the jeep was suddenly difficult to keep straight within the traveling lane of washington street. Thankfully, i was close to home and was able to make it back. I was quoted $2,200 to fix both sides of the frame through a metal frabricator, but he suggested replacing the entire frame, as there was further rot clear up to the spring buckets. Ultimately i'll be forced to take a $4,600 loan to replace the frame. Jeep tj's are known for their frame rust issues, but the fact that the rust was unseen just weeks before this incident, combined with a sudden loss of steering stability, is worth taking note of concern. Two years ago this jeep had no visible rust anywhere on the body or frame. The steering gear box was replaced within the last year, and at that time there were no indications that the frame was compromised.

2000 jeep wrangler tj with visible frame rust in front of rear wheels. Lack of drainage holes allows water to enter through factory drilled frame holes located in front and rear wheel wells and accumulate in the lower parts of the frame. By the time rust is visible on the outside of the frame, the inside has already been compromised to a greater degree as the rust progresses from the inside out. After researching online it seems to be a common problem with this model. There are readily available kits to repair these jeep frames from several private companies which illustrates the severity and prevalence of this problem. Although the parts are available and inexpensive, the cost of installation as with most major vehicle repair, is dangerous and requires welding with specialized equipment and skills. A repair completed by an unqualified person may result in a vehicle unsafe for use on public roads. This vehicle has 175000 miles driven entirely (except one trip to atlanta) in tennessee. This vehicle has been driven almost entirely on paved public roads. *tr
