Jeep wrangler frames rust from inside out due to moisture getting in through upper part of frames where their are holes and settling to lower part of frame where their are no drain holes. Their may have not been an issue if jeep had just put in drain holes in lower part of frame. It is a common problem in 1997 through 2006 jeep wranglers. I have this issue.

Jeep tj frame separated at the torsion bar on passenger rear wheel making vehicle unstable and un- usable.

My frame is rotting out fast and furious, i've already had to replace sections, the upper and lower controls arms have ripped off, the body fell threw the mounts, paid to have that fixed

I have a 1998 jeep wrangler. I've owned my jeep for 15 years. It has been garage kept. We were changing the shocks a few weeks ago and noticed severe rust damage. The frame is rusting from the inside out. It's severe. Years before i was traveling down a 2 land rd and had to press my brakes harder than i usually would due to a car pulling out in front of me. At that moment i blew a brake line. I could not get my vehicle stopped. Luckily it's a 5 speed. I geared down as fast as i could and managed to pull it off the main road onto a hill to get it stopped. After inspecting my vehicle i found severe damage. The motors mounts are barely there. The part where the frame mounts to the body is actually missing one due to rusting completely out. Every single bolt and nut is rusted. Every single square inch of the frame is rusted. The problem is that jeep poorly designed the frame with side holes for water and dirt to enter but did not design it with drainage holes on the bottom of the frame. Water and dirt enter and never leave. It's extremely unsafe to drive. I've read thousands of complaints online and this is a very common problem.

Had to replace the frame due to left rear rusted through the whole frame, just a small amount of the frame was left. Other areas had rust eating threw the frame, and in a matter of time would have failed!!!.

I have an excessive amount of frame rust and my vehicle has less than 150xxx miles and this is a severe safety hazard. I have read that there are many people who have experienced this and i am wanting to know what you guys could do to resolve this issue. I bought this vehicle and i do not want to resale because i do not want to sell it in this condition and i want to keep it but i also do not want to drive because of this. There's a lot of life left in this vehicle and it only has 126xxx miles so i need help
