Rebuild a rusted-out chassis without swapping the whole frame with the Dorman - OE Solutions Frame Repair Kit 523-282. This OE FIX kit drops in as a direct-fit repair section for the 1997-2003 Jeep TJ and 1997-2003 Jeep Wrangler — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. It replaces the rear left frame section, so you can cut out and weld in just the failed area instead of sourcing a complete replacement frame.
Because it installs as a welded structural repair, plan the job around a proper cut, fit, and weld per the vehicle service procedure.
