WARNINGS:
This kit requires an experienced fabricator/welder for installation. If you are not an experienced welder or you would not be willing to risk your life on your welds please enlist an experienced individual. Contact us may be able to help you get in touch with a qualified individual.
This kit is meant to cover most issues in the associated area however it may not fully cover all of the issues a frame may have in this area. This kit may not be sufficient to repair extreme rust issues. Again please enlist an experienced fabricator for this installation.
Awesome Kit. Way more affordable and addresses rust better than competitors even though the welding install will cost more. Recommend to anyone with rusted out frames
Thanks
Ordering a repair kit this weekend this east coast rust is killer. Great video very descriptive 10/10
Thanks, I'm not sure sometimes whether to be more descriptive or try to make the videos move quicker. Difficult line to walk.
It was nice the jeep engineers made the drum radius the same radius as the patch metal so you can form the curve with a hammer. Love that simplicity. Also like its passive cooling by having the entire roof come off. I'm going to miss this truck when I can afford a non project car.
A very good series and have learned a lot. I will be definitely be ordering a frame kit!👍
Awesome, thank you!
I don’t possess the necessary skills or tools to do this job, but it was extremely well explained…Thanks!
Thank You!
@@TabooCustoms I didn’t see a lot of information about body/tub repair… Do you do that kind of work as well, or is there somebody else you could recommend… ? I am up in New Brunswick Canada, so doubtful that you know anybody up my way, but it might be worth my while to make a road trip down your way…
I’ve rust proofed my vehicle since I’ve owned it, so I am fairly optimistic that the rust is minimal, but I do have some areas on the body that are starting to show. I did manage to get two of the last Mopar fenders available for my TJ, so I’m pretty well covered there!
We have done some tub repair in the past we just don't have any kits released yet. We do ship a fair amount to Canada, Elin Yakov is one you might try in Canada. He is on UA-cam under that name, he mainly works on Triumphs but has done some work with us in the past on a Jeep. If you did decide you want to travel and bring it down to the US, Rust Revival in Iowa City we recommend a lot.
@@TabooCustoms Thanks for your response… I suspect I’ll be seeing you or giving you some business sooner rather than later… I’d much rather spend my money wisely, even if it’s more expensive, to get a job done correctly by people like you, who take pride in their work…I’ll look up Rust Revival and Elin Yakov…Thanks!
Buddy of mine in Wisconsin, TJ put him in the ditch when the frame broke from all the rust. You peeps have to put up with hell up there in the salt belt!
Yeah between MI and WI they compete for the most rust repair kits sold to.
That cricket is working overtime.
Coolio, I'll have to do something like this, this winter. Though, mine ain't as bad and I have a long arm kit.
Kits in stock, and soon we will have a new lower control arm mount as part of that kit.
Great Video! Thank you 👍
Great video! Really like your explanation of your process. I do have a 60's Mercury with rust in the frame rails. Quite similar to how this Jeep looks. I want to make repairs to my car, but I am unsure if I should cut out the rust or do a repair as you have shown and build "repair" patches and weld to the existing frame. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
Good video covering the repair. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Very instructive … i do welding for living I’m wonder how much can you charge for a repair like this?
Great job 👏👍
Great instruction! I've tried to re-weld the rear axle upper control mount at the axle, after grinding clean the old mount. For some reason, it's not allowing the weld to set. I suppose rewelding the old bracket won't work? It broke off somewhat clean; which is why I'm attempting to reuse it. Is a new one the only material (surface) weldable?
On the axle end? Both the bracket and axle tube should be easily weldable. What do you mean by didn't set? Maybe sending a picture of what it looks like after you welded it would help. Dave@taboocustoms.com
@@TabooCustoms I just sent an email. Appreciate your response!
Clean job
Thanks
Got the same.kit amazing
How much should I expect to pay to do the restoration shown here and where are you located?
Would really appreciate your response.
Thank You
We are located in SE Iowa, Montrose IA. But we do have information on installers that may be closer. Per side, I'd say 3-500 on labor plus parts.
Does anybody know how much will a job like this cost ?
There will be a lot of variation depending on who does it, where your at and other factors. I will tell you in my area I charge $400-600 a kit installed. Most Jeeps need a couple kits. Once you start to get to where your doing a whole frame or many kits the cost per kit drops some. Some trucks we do get up to $3k total.
good video exacly what i need,
is a rush delivery available?
Yes we can but it is pricy. Send us an email at Dave@taboocustoms.com
How much does it cost to have someone doe this repair on your jeep?
Depends a lot on the shop. For us this would be around $1000.
@@TabooCustoms thanks for the info.
how much does it cost to have this done?
For one kit labor is usually 3-500 depending on who you have do it.
Can this kit be used if you cut out the lower portion of the frame? I noticed you went over the old frame without removing lower portion where the rust is. I would think in time the rust will continue to bleed through to the new piece. I like the kit but wondering if it will still work if the frame is cut out?
Yes, the more rust that can be cut out the better.
Gotta leave the rust in the frame to ensure repeat customers 😉
Got a video on removing the gas tank and fuel/brake lines?
Nothing specific, the lines just snap into holders on the inside of the frame. Typically the issue with the removal of the brake lines is rust casing them to break.
Do you work on jeep wrangler yj's I own a 94 that has extremely bad rust issues on the driver's rear and passenger rear any and all help will be and is greatly appreciated I'm located in Columbus Ohio if you can help me I need price and shop name and where you are located
PS great video 👍 and thank you
I also think that I will need body mounts as well
Sorry we currently do not. We just moved into a different shop and wont be setup for quite a while for repair work. We are also located in Montrose IA, so it would be a haul. If you have a local jeep club I typically recommend contacting them and they often know who might do that type of repair in your area. Looking at my list of shops that will do those repairs I do have one in Arcanum OH, Brickhouse Collision & Customs. You might try them.
What are you using for a welder and wire size?
A 220V welder is needed, not that it isnt possible with a 110 but I cant recommend it. For wire I use .035. As for specific I was using MST 400 with a Lincoln LN7 Feeder, but now I use a Lincoln CV400 and LF 72 feeder.
Would you recommend anyone in Michigan to do this?
how much does a job like this cost?
For one spot like this I normally say $3-500 in labor depending on where your at and who you have doing it.
I love your videos, but I wear hearing aids. The crickets are killing me .
Thanks, sorry about the crickets that was our old place. There were an insane amount of crickets around there.
