I am being completely honest with you Reuben. I got physically ill when I saw the pictures of your frame. Its like looking into the future if I don't POR15 the Monteros frame. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> Ive had nightmares about seeing my Gen1s rust out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />
Terrible isn't it? I can't focus at work today. We carry our kids around in that thing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> I've got to fix it fast.
You can spray oil inside the frame rails to preserve them also.
Right. What about welding after that?
Are Gen 1 frames different in the rear? I know of two locally. I found one Gen 2, but the guy wanted $350 and that's if I come and cut the rear end off <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> What the...? I called may be 10 yards and nothing. One place was like "a what? A Montana? Montero? Is that Suzuki?"...click. I emailed the guy who has the SR that Sparky got his locker from, so that might work out.
Otherwise I might have to re-think here and go back to the idea of fixing the existing frame. I did some reading about cap510's frame mod and it's not for me since this is a daily driver. I am going to do a 1" body lift though since that will resolve my radiator issues (long story). I was planning on jacking the body up a little away for more space when welding, so while I'm in there...
