    Hello

    Looking for some advice, I have an opportunity to buy 1990 YJ 130k miles with the 4.2L engine for $3,500.
    I’ve been told that there is some frame rust…. if anyone could give me thoughts on what to look for and walk away areas vs can repair - I would appreciate it.

    I wouldnt buy anything with frame rust. It is risky and could fall apart at any moment depending how bad it is.
