Typically the bolts are a problem to remove due to rust on the inside of the frame rail. When this happens, access holes are often cut unto the side to facilitate removal of these bolts. This method gives access to dirt and water, which can collect inside the rails and rust them from the inside out. This Safe-T-CapTM kit is a... Read More Learn More

Wranglers have rubber body mounts that help isolate road noises, chassis flex and vibrations from reaching the driver. We have found these rubber mounts contribute to the rust formation on top of the steel frame to body mount. Once the rust permeates the top of the mount, it remains hidden until the major damage is done. Our frame mounts are 11 ga. steel (just like the factory) and fit as direct replacements. Available in set of 6 only. Learn More

These rusted out areas create an extremely unsafe condition and often lead to state safety inspection failures. Our kits are a direct replacement. The left (steering) side has frame with steering box mount and shackle mount, the right side is frame and shackle... Read More Learn More
