ZJ XJ Frame
Hi, I have a 94 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I love it, but the frame is rusting out. I'm not really technical with cars yet, but I'm learning quick. I'd like to save it, but I'm having a hard time finding a good frame. A 93 Grand Cherokee Limited is being parted out near me and the frame is good. I'm wondering if it's frame would work in my XJ. Any info would be great!

That is the unitbody, not a frame. It's basically sheetmetal and is part of the body as well, like a car. You cannot remove it and if it's rusted out sorry it's time to move on to something else.

best bet is find a similar XJ with good body bad draivetrain, if your drivetrain is in good shape swap that. But lot easier/cheaper in the long run to find another good running/shape XJ.
