Jeep Chassis Welding Ireland

Jeeps run a separate steel frame that traps mud and salt in its box sections. We cut out what has gone, weld in new steel and seal it.

In short

  • Jeeps use a separate ladder frame, so corrosion hits rails, crossmembers and body mounts rather than sills alone.
  • Off-road use packs mud into the frame, which holds moisture against the steel long after the outside has dried.
  • Frame sections are cut out and rebuilt in matching gauge steel, then sealed and coated.

Why Jeep frames corrode

A ladder frame is a set of box sections. Water and mud get in through drain holes and factory openings; on a vehicle used off-road or on wet lanes, they stay in. Rot then works outwards, so the first visible hole is late-stage damage.

Body mounts are a second problem area — the bracket, the mount and the rail all sit together and trap grit between them.

Common Jeep welding areas

  • Frame rails, especially over the rear axle
  • Rear crossmember and tow point
  • Body mount brackets and mounting points
  • Spring hangers and shackle mounts
  • Fuel tank cradle and skid plate mounts
  • Floor pans and inner sills

Repair, then protect

Once the welding is done we seal the seams, paint the repair and coat the underside. If the vehicle sees mud and salt regularly, treating the inside of the box sections as well is what keeps the same spot from rotting again.

What the job involves

Every repair, step by step

  • Ramp inspection with photos of every corroded area
  • Corroded steel cut back to clean, solid metal
  • Repair sections fabricated in correct-gauge steel
  • MIG welded for full penetration and dressed back
  • Seams sealed so water cannot enter the joint
  • Primed and painted before coating
  • Underbody protection applied over the repair
  • Photos of the finished work before collection

Frequently asked questions

Can a rusted Jeep frame be welded?

Yes, where the corrosion is confined to sections. Those sections are cut out and rebuilt in new steel of the correct gauge.

Which Jeep models do you work on?

We work on Jeep models with steel ladder frames and steel underbody structure — send us the year and model and we'll confirm.

How do I know if my frame is rotten?

Tap along it — sound steel rings, thin steel thuds. Flaking scale and bulging around box sections are warning signs. A ramp check is the only certain way.

Do you repair after off-road damage as well as rust?

We repair corroded and damaged structural steel. Send photos and we'll tell you what's involved.

Should I underseal after frame welding?

Yes — bare welded steel needs coating, and it's the cheapest time to protect the rest of the underside too.
