Yeah thats the truth. Best odds for finding good steel is south and west. Anything north of
Tennessee and east of the Mississippi, will most likely be a rust bucket by now.
I'm just wondering if a 2wd frame could be used for a solid axle conversion. I've heard of
that being done before. A stock 4x4 frame would just have all its suspension stuff hacked off
anyway. No different from hacking off IFS on a 2wd. But as you pointed out once before Mike,
the Dak frames are not well suited to solid axle lifts, unless you go with a lot of lift, due
to lack up uptravel clearence. Stock Jeeps dont have much up travel however... so its not THAT
big a deal if you ask me.
