In Depth Jeep Wrangler Frame Repair....This one was BAD!!

[@dale3742]

How much did you charge the guy to do this job? Just curious

[@nyrubin]

Hourly rates are usually right around 50hr for mechanic shops. Somewhere around 40hrs seems right to me.

[@skkfor]

A HUGE thanks for all the vids. My '01 TJ needed some frame love, and I was aware of the issue when I bought it (the price was right). Seller assumed it would be $1500-1800 to repair both rails. After seeing your vids, I purchased the parts AND welder/tools for less than $600 and did the job myself. I'm not NEAR the pro like you, but it looks good and I saved big $$. Most of all, it's safe and will be a long-lasting repair. Rock on, brother.

[@rlinane]

When you did this yourself did you have access to a lift?

[@Mr.Saephan503]

Man watching you give life to cars that would of without a doubt have ended in a junk/scrap yard

[@tommybennett6879]

Thanks for saving another jeep Justin, and great work once again. Always a pleasure watching you work

[@MorFabIndustries]

Thank you!

[@noahrichardson466]

My Daughter's 2002 is got some rust on the back. Thank God for this channel. I now have hope!

[@tomf3969]

You did a good job getting video of plasma cutting the frame.

[@raymondpedrick1734]

Hey just a rough estimate...what would something like this cost ?

[@jimjohnston3188]

Great job. Frankly you do more than save Jeeps, some of these frames are dangerous and people get hurt driving these Jeeps around.

[@1965Gindy]

That's why I'm drilling drain holes in mine. Watching your vids made me amazed at how my frame has no rot.

[@dg98adams]

I see some frame work/coil buckets on my 01 TJ futures thanks for doing these videos.

[@wheelinndealin]

Cool I didn’t know you were from CT I’m right in western MA, glad to see such cool project very nice work man

[@givman2004]

The larger diameter spring perch is used when hitting big bumps to catch the 2nd ring of the spring so the smaller first ring does not get pushed to far inside of the 2nd ring. If the first ring gets pushed up too far it will snap where as oem size would catch the next ring and support both opposed to just the inner

[@tommybennett6879]

You are correct but most jeeps will never see that much force on a spring to do that and what Justin did is more than adequate

[@em2965]

Love your work man, hopefully I can get my 2000 4runner up to you sometime soon for some Safe T Cap installations!

[@MrSuzukiyamaha]

Hey bud. Primer holds moisture. That is its purpose. Never leave primer uncoated. Coat the inside of those frame caps with fluid film and you're golden. You do great work, man. I enjoy the videos. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@GYMGUYFE]

What is fluid film? I need to do my frame before it rusts

[@MrSuzukiyamaha]

@@GYMGUYFE Do you have google?

[@djsuretay1]

Hey I have a 94 jeep yj frame that is Swiss cheese I’m trying to get an idea if I want to get another jeep or do the frame also no power steering how much did that cost may I ask

[@djsuretay1]

Are you going to put a cap on top of that shock mount

[@Soothsayer-rs5nb]

I have a 04 Rubicon... I garaged it years ago when I saw the frame and virtually everything underneath rusting. I plan to rust proof it before I let it back outside. I understand why there aren't a lot of TJ's left up north. It's a real shame because its a great jeep much better than the JK's (I know I have one). When I see the salt truck guys I flip them the bird !

[@nathanwilliam1922]

Justin from morfab. I'm from Buffalo I feel you. Your work is top notch

[@48Ballen]

what is amazing is that with reasonable care, none of this rust destruction would be happening. The idea is to prevent the rust with cleaning, phosphoric acid treatment, priming , painting, then treatment each year with an oil based water repellent such that the rust is controlled.

[@JUSTINCR3DIBULL]

Thanks for saving our New England Jeeps! Can't wait a few more years I'll be in Florida and won't have to deal with rot 😂

[@brannondoolin8654]

Im in fl and if your not careful the humidity here is awful on cars, not really the frames but just in general, but definitely not as bad as having to deal with snow and salt.

[@tommygunnz7154]

I love rust! Endless work 👍💰

[@CuatesTacticos]

More or less how big was the bill ?

[@mikesweet5848]

Funny if that Jeep was fluid filmed since new, it would still look mint under there.

[@GYMGUYFE]

What is fluid filmed? I have one with no rust and need to protect it.

[@mikesweet5848]

@@GYMGUYFE Fluid Film. Google it or look up some youtube videos. You should definitely have it done.

[@lawnmowerman4040]

I use a pump up sprayer mixed with oil and diesel fuel spray front to back both sides till it drips out holes, I buy a couple cans every other month of spray lube and do the tub and fenders just everything it’s ridiculous how fast they go from good to bad

[@troyb7006]

Where are you getting frame kits and where are you located

[@toddmummert8972]

Where are you located ? Bought a Toyota Sequoia and they found 2 rust holes on the frame behind the rear tire. From South center PA.

[@erikcaldwell2913]

What would you suggest to cut with, if you don't have or can't afford a plasma torch? Also, when welding the cap on the inside of the cap, upper trail arm area, it must be near impossible to get weld just above that trail arm mount?🤔 As you said, you even had to paint that area before hand, as you would have no access to reach it, after it was on.

[@jameshudson2385]

Nice work, I did similar repairs to 88 Nissan pick up and there is no way you can tell people how much work is involved unless you show them. Even this video doesn’t tell whole story. I got to hand it to you, do it right or don’t do it at all! Whatever you charge it’s not enough! I do collision work for a living and did my share of rust work starting out years ago and I will tell you I don’t miss it! Keep up good work.

[@RSchannel777]

So how much did this cost the client?

[@denisewilliams1493]

Hi. I have a 95 Jeep Wrangler that needs a new frame, lots of rust. Can you give me an est on cost? Inside is in great shape. I would love it back on the road! Ty!

[@dianehutchins9206]

Where are you located? And how much would a job be like that cost? We have a Jeep that needs similar work.

[@royallplatnum]

How can I get in touch with you to do my Toyota FJ?

[@vzrey]

Great work! I was looking forward to seeing you install the center torx box over that body mount. Any chance you'll post that process in the near future? Cheers ~

[@MorFabIndustries]

[@toddellis5197]

So... I may be looking at something like this in my future... May I ask what the price-tag was on this repair? Oh, and your are a fabricating god, btw, ;-)

[@ReaIHuman]

Looks like I'm going to be buying a plasma cutter.

[@labviewful]

Where are you located, because I think I want to send my 99 TJ to repair the front driver side control arm that attach to fram.

[@scottjacobs4816]

Followed your video and have done the skid plate section repair and the body mount repairs. Just staring on the rear trailing arm repair sections. I just have one question. Above the bracket where you paint because it can't be accessed, how did you weld that little section, or is it safe to leave? Great video sir, Thank You for all your help.

[@MorFabIndustries]

I have never welded that section. The only way to get to it is by lifting the body.

[@dylanjones2626]

Whats the average cost to repair the frame right around the rear leaf spring mount lookin for a ball park figure pricing it out

[@cjeppinga]

This is really useful info I’m going to be looking at everything you just talked about when I go look at a jeep I’m looking at buying tomorrow

[@alexandroavila8536]

[@ricayan4602]

love watching your work man, watching from mindanao philippines...

[@WilliamVG]

Looks like that Jeep was neglected. People need to understand, even new rust starts immediately afterwards whether there's drain holes or not. On my 2019 Jeep, I have rust inside the entire length on the frame, more so wherever there was a weld from the factory. I suggest picking up a nice quality Endoscope and looking inside.

[@daverobillard7783]

Amazing work!!

[@randaldavis4880]

wonder what the cost was on that, cause i have a jeep liberty that needs some TLC on the frame .. thought about finding another liberty with blown motor and just doing a frame swap over .. but finding one with a good frame is the problem .. the hole drivers side from the drivers door back needs replaced id think. and its just on the drivers side that is the worst .. pass side is not that bad, but could use some TLC as well ..

[@jasonbuck9118]

How much was this to do?

[@003hgutierrez]

I have to do the same job but I need to know what to charge. I work on my own stuff but looking to make some side money.

[@MorFabIndustries]

No problems at all with it. I love it. Just need to get some new lenses.

[@petehayes9497]

I've got the Lincoln 140 might welder, would that be powerful enough to do the welds on the frame in you opinion?

[@MorFabIndustries]

I did my own jeep build with a 140a welder. It can be done but I don't recommend it.

I own a 2007 JK 2 door, most of what I find and see even here does not cover beyond the year 2006. Are there kits available for JK frames or must framework on later model Jeeps be fabricated. What would be a general cost to revamp a 2007 Frame?

[@MorFabIndustries]

Right now there is no prefab option so it would need to be fabricated. I can’t imagine pricing would be too much different than a tj frame.

Hey man love your vids. My 04 sequoia frame is rotten, can u help?

[@Rayp1025]

Very helpful thank you!

[@15farcry]

At 21:51, how do you know exactly where to slide on the caps to maintain precise location of control arms mounts? Because when you have the lower portion of the frame cut out, there is so much free handling the caps when sliding them on. Any slight misalignment of the caps would result in wheel misalignment.

[@MorFabIndustries]

I measure from the front lower control arm mount bolt center, to the rear lower bolt center before I make any cuts. I then match that measurement on both sides with the caps slid on.

[@15farcry]

@@MorFabIndustries Yes but wouldn't that only be front to back measurement? How do you know how far up to push the cap on the existing frame? Height of the control arm mount is what i'm trying to say.

[@MorFabIndustries]

@@15farcry measure from the bolt center to the top of the frame before you cut out the old mount. Then match that with the safety caps. Height is not as important as front to rear square.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Eh, not doing a body removal and full stripdown of the frame feels like a half-measure

[@MorFabIndustries]

It's a survival measure and not a full rebirth. However I have 3 or 4 of them that are still going strong 10+ years later. Plus getting into a frame off resto on a wrangler is a horrible financial decision.

"Enough zinc in it that you can weld through it"??? You may want to look into the extreme hazards of welding zinc plated metals. Granted it's paint not plating but if it has zinc in it, you are playing with a bomb.

[@MorFabIndustries]

It does have some zinc in it. I am fully aware and cautious of my exposure to it while painting and welding. My shop is very well ventilated and I do my best to keep out of the smoke that is around. In some cases I wear a respirator under my helmet! Thank you so much for your concern.
