Unibody rails repair
U think this can be fixed?
It seems like something slammed into the receiver hitch and did the damage.

I kinda figured it was a lost cause... I'll sell it to someone that just wants to weld the cracks and make a wheeler.of course after I buy it's replacement.... I don't have $$$ to get the frame pulled, nor do I have welding experience.
This was just a last ditch idea to see if it was a reasonable fix before I replace him.

That's what I figured... It's a shame, because it drives really well. I'm going to drive it am then sell it to someone who wants a wheeler.
I think the "popping" sound is a bad tranny mount. I'll fix that.
