Roof rack maybe? I'd just take it to the scrap yard if it were me, I wouldn't really even want a bed frame roof rack on my Jeep.

Interior cargo organizer. Like a roof rack, but smaller. You've seen the ones people are building on here.

I vote roof rack, unless you can make a bumper out of it.

You should post pictures of the final product, by the way.

Unless it's pretty old it's probably just crappy pot metal not worth wasting your time with.

If its 1.5 or 2 inch angle iron like older bedframes were made of, i'd build a stand to set a storage box on in the back.of the jeep so that you can also put stuff underneath it

And pot metal is a nightmare to weld on too.
