Default Frame question

Hey guys, my problem is that my frame broke completely through where the gas lines pass through the frame rail near the the rear passenger tire, my question is should i just yank my lift kit and other things off and junk it for a new Cherokee or is it worth it to weld it back together with supports?

it can be fixed but you are going to want some extra material added around the repair to make sure it don't happen again. and as far as junking it i would say no
