03-06 Wrangler TJ Frame Center Section Rust Repair
TJ Frame Center Section Rust Repair Kit
Restore the strength and integrity of your Jeep TJ frame with this heavy-duty center section repair kit, designed to fix the area where the transfer case skid plate mounts.
This section of the frame is prone to rust damage and broken or spinning bolts — this kit eliminates those issues and reinforces the entire mid-frame area.
Built from 7-gauge (.19") thick steel, the kit includes four precision-cut plates (one formed inner plate per side for improved strength and reduced welding) and four tie-in plates that weld across each side of the body mount for additional frame rigidity.
Also included are six 1/2" weld nuts to replace the factory nuts inside the frame.
One kit repairs both the driver and passenger side frame rails.
