- I figure I would give you all an explanation as to why we are constantly fixing these jeeps instead of junking them. I hope this helps you all to understand why I am so passionate about repairing and SAVING these vehicles from being euthanized.

thank you for fixing them
Very inspiring. I just done my 02 tj myself. I chose to remove the tub on mine. I felt I can blast and weld it better without all the obstacles. It has come out very nice. Thank you for all your content. I obsessively watch your videos
Your repair jobs are a inspiration to me. Helps to keep Jeeping alive. Thank you for all you repairs that you do. Keep it up
I have a 99 TJ and it has gotten me all the way through college and I know it’s going to need frame repairs soon. I’ll pay for the repairs not because it’s worth it but because it now has so much sentimental value engrained it. It’s just like you said and yes thank you for fixing them when a lot of others won’t touch ones this bad with a ten foot pole
I got mine in 2017 from a family friend for 4800, 4.0 Liter Inline 6, 2000 with the yellow which is a rare color for that year, manual 5 speed. It took me through college as well, had a bad frame that we knew we’d have to totally replace at some point, we had it patched up multiple times in the interim but this year it had to get redone entirely. Got a perfect condition frame off a 2.5 Liter, welded the engine mounts for the 4.0 on and painted it, currently replacing my floor pans on the passenger side (both front and rear) and patching any minor rotted parts, wire wheeling and painting whatever was just surface. I just couldn’t let my college car go too for sentimental AND logistical reasons. Making sure to drill drain holes in the new frame and check it CONSTANTLY!
Preach brother! Have spent the last four years restoring my son's 2000 TJ. Lots of surprises, lots of cursing, lots of problem solving. Replaced the frame rails from the front to the back. Replaced the body side mounts as well as the body mounts. Would not trade a single moment of working with my son on this Jeep. She's not perfect, but she's ours. And she's getting better every day. :-)
Keep up the great work.
gotta rinse the frame rails out every month or so and cover everything underneath in fluid film and spray it inside the frame
I have learnt a lot from your videos!
I own a jeep wrangler 1995 Sahara straight 6 and just getting the frame repair/ replacement done. I appreciate you taking to time to fix and and double bonus for recording them because thats hell lot of work.
So from the jeep community in canada 🇨🇦 thank you!
These videos are amazing and I cannot thank you enough for posting them. Please do not stop. My first experience with Jeeps was as a small child going to work with my grandfather in his old CJ as a well tender for an oil and gas Company. My first jeep was a 1957 CJ and only wish I still had that one. I’ve owned Jeep’s for several years the last few have been grand Cherokee’s and I just traded my most recent one for a non-jeep. I considered one of the new wranglers but that just didn’t feel right. Your videos have taught me so much about the TJ‘s and now I want to go out and find one because I miss my jeeps. Now I know what to look for and where to go if I find one that needs work. I live several states away but I cannot imagine having anyone work on one of these vehicles but you due to your passion and your obvious knowledge of how to put these vehicles back together. Again thank you for all the knowledge you have chosen to share.
I know what you mean. I have my Dads truck. I was just told to get rid of it. And then I found you. At least now there is hope of fixing the frame. And for that my friend I thank you.
MorFab, I just happened to stumble upon your channel and website. Of course it has been bookmarked and yesterday I practically binged watched your videos. Keep them coming.
Thanks for saving these vehicles.
Ha! I just bought a TJ. Just started getting into it. Found your vids and
Love’em. Loved it even more that ya had a jeep on the lift and a 240z. Literally what’s in my garage as well. Look forward to more AMAZING vids. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video I just purchased a 97 wrangler as my first project vehicle I’m hopeful to learn a lot and teach my son a thing or two. Your videos are such a great resource and thank you for taking your time and doing them.
That is awesome!
Man, you just made me excited about a 97 TJ Sport with 4.0 that I got for $3500. I also got about $3,000 in parts given to me with it. It's my first jeep and I got the "bug." Its got a lift and a lot of customization. It does need some frame n tub work, but I love this jeep! Thanks for making these videos.
I love your passion for these TJs.
Thank you for this. I forwarded it to my wife who is trying to get me to sell my 2004 TJ. It only has 56,000 miles! No way. LOL
pro tip: watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Westin Trace Yup, have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
Non Jeep people will never really understand. I'm a big Jeep fanatic and I absolutely prefer driving my YJ more than anything else. I was lucky enough to own a JK at the same time.....still preferred the YJ. Such is life.
Love my yj
Love your videos we are currently trying to clean up an estate in Branford using our jeeps. Unfortunately the 2005 LJ has been taken out of regular duty due to frame rot that was discovered during a front drive shaft replacement.
Yes to everything you said! Great talk🙂
Great content. Don't ever stop.
Great synopsis of why your work matters. Goodluck to you.
Great pep talk!
I just bought a98 . Beautiful Jeep only 85 thousand original miles. New paint ,interior is very nice and the wheels really set it off! The bad, frame rot . I had this work done and it’s repaired. Sad that Jeep made such thin frames.
I’m fixing a TJ with frame rust issues. Watched most of your vids. I’d consider having you do it if I lived in the area
Yes we are in the rust belt to say. And my friend is a mechanic. He’s the type that thinks my Jeep is junk. But to a Jeep guy it’s “ that can be fixed”. And I’m one of them. My Jeep has frame issue. I searched for a frame cost 500 now add price of swapping it. To my Jeep. Is like buying a whole new Jeep. Now welding a frame is easier. I paid 1250 for my 2000 Jeep Wrangler even got parts for the frame. So ya think I’m ahead of the game ....no I still need to do the frame work. However my opinion is buying frame to replace or weld it is two way different prices. And yes I’m using my Jeep to learn everything. I knew what I bought I looked at mine for a week. Before the purchase.
I Plan on bringing my Jeep to you in the Spring 2022.
Think its awesome you save these vehicles
I can understand the desire to keep an older simple vehicle on the road.
Yes, the new Jeeps are a discrace
YES! I love that I have manual roll up windows...and need a key to start it. I don't want all the computer stuff in my Jeep...
Holy crap, dude! You should franchise. We need a MorFab Industries in Minneapolis :D
I can honestly say you helped me decide that I'm going to keep my 2005 Unlimited Rubicon and fix the little bit of rot I thought was bad until I saw the Jeeps you've been working on.
I have a 2002 jeep were can I find you so you can fix my jeep frame..
your video just make me want to keep my jeep forever thank you very much.
Exactly the reason I got mine, cost me few thousands but it has frame rot and body rot but I’m going to fix it. Wish you were closer I’d bring it to you, very good work being done in these. Hmm... wonder if I can ship it to you :)
I get them shipped here all the time 😉
Thank you for this video! If I could get my 2006 Wrangler Jeep to you, I would. Just been told not to drive it on long trips because the rust is so bad on the frame. Inspection guy said it will cost more than it is worth to fix. I was heartbroken...but maybe there is hope...
Have you fixed it?
@@MrBullya Yes! Last year I went to a place that does this very thing/process. Got one whole side redone and half the other. The frame is good to go now.
I'd source a rust-free vehicle at any reasonable (extra) cost fro a Southern area before a patch job like this. I retired from N. Indiana to Florida and It's unbelievable how older cars age gracefully down here, as in TX and AZ (etc) also. Rust belt? They're all shot.
I am kind of late to the Jeep party. But I got lucky and bought a pristine frame from Yuma Arizona and had it shipped to Pennellville, NY. I couldn't believe it was only a measly $700 for the frame. The only regret was that I didn't find an honest and reputable shop like MorFab Industries to swap install it. Plus in hindsight I should have had it sandblasted and U-Pol raptored. That Raptor is the best thing since slice bread. I Raptor the front grille, side mirrors, tub interior, and fender wells/flares and drove it all year. Rust and dings are a thing of the past.
Like your cause, do you also repair rusty XJs ?
your morfabulous dude \m/
Best thing about living in the South ... none of this rot.
Underside of my 97 XJ still looks like when I bought it ... in 97.
I wish you lived near me. I'd have you build me a custom transmission crossmember and install (weld in) my engine mounts... And a few other things...
Thanks for the video
Where can i make an appointment, got a 98 TJ sahara. Frame has been repaired but have a few rust spots on the body. Would like to know if you guys can help me out im way too scared to weld myself
From Framingham MA
I have a 2000 jeep wrangler and I live in Reading, Pennsylvania. Both side of the mid section where the skid plate is need repair (rusted frame). I been trying to find someone that can fix it but no luck.Do you know anyone around where i live that can do the work like the work ya do. Been watching the videos you post and ya do an awesome job on these frame. Wish I can take my jeep to your shop but it to far hoping maybe you know a good shop in the Readind, Pa area
Can you tell me where ya located and need phone # to call. I live in Reading , Pennsylvania
My yj is a love of my life
i still have my 2003 tj 112.000 miles small hole driver size was going to go to lowes and weld some steel with my harbor freight welder or i might buy a frame piece through quadratec i dunno i gotta see this guy
This all wouldn't be necessary if people took preventative maintenance and took care of their frames. But a good thing for you is that most don't. What do you use for a paint on the outside of the frames after you're done repairing them?
Newhampshire 1998 lots of rot 3500 with plow. Slowly bringing her back to life
I have 3 jeeps n one van the year of the jeeps r 1948 n a 1999 n a 2007 n the van is 2009 in Michigan....
Hi guy i live in nova scotia and I can't find someone who will take the time to fix my 2003 jeep overland can you make me a frame and rocker panels but I know that's wishful thinking the whole rear frame I wish you lived here
completely rebuilding my tj rn lol
I need to price shipping and send you my Jeep lol. Hard to find a good welder who does this stuff. (San Diego)
That would be awesome! I had one that drove from San Antonio Texas, so it's not that far fetched!
LOL you can disregard my comment on the last video I commented on about why you are fixing these rotted jeeps. a rotted jeep like the last one you showed after cleaning the rubberized undercoat off it would be a $2500 here or parted out. I love jeeps and agree with you everyone should be saved or repurposed not thrown away. we sold our 2013 for 18 with 50k miles never off road it was my wife's. different area demands different price i guess. anyways sorry for falling into that same group of people asking you why.
Was that an evo 6 ?

It would be really stupid to not repair the frame on a TJ. The frame pieces are readily available and it's not complicated to do
"they're coming on my face" 0:31
Can you tell me where ya located and need phone # to call . I live in Reading, Pa
Im telling you its probably the guy I bought mine from. I TOOK SO MUCH BONDO OUT!!!!!! Father & son lives in east hartford but sell multiple jeeps out of south windsor
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Central CT
I wish your place was close to me.
2500 steap prices you have I hope your work is Legit and lasts
Anyone that tells me to junk my Jeep I'll tell him or her to eat dog 🐕 litter. I have always had a Wrangler and until the day I die I will have one. I Spey fish the Salmon River and north country and I wouldn't trust any other vehicle to get me to the fishing grounds in the dead of winter with 5 feet of snow.
