time to start cutting rivets now! I bet I took out 75+ rivets in this frame. I left the front and rear crossmembers in but most other items came off. Rust was growing in between the brackets and the only way to clean it up was to remove most of them. Only pieces of frame that needed replaced were under that crossmember and the crossmember that holds the TC skid plate. THIS RUST WAS HUNGRY!
