Introducing our Rear Leaf Spring Mount Section (RB2005L & RB2005R) for your YJ Wrangler. The YJ Wrangler marks the end of an era in many ways, but perhaps the most notable and revolutionary is Jeep’s transition from leaf spring suspension to the modern coil spring.  This change was made primarily to increase the comfort and quality of driving, but it goes without saying that the technology behind the system was self-destructive.  The constant tug of war between the leaves and the spring mounts, in addition to salt and water spray, literally pulled the vehicle apart over its lifespan. Our Rear Leaf Spring...

Introducing our Center Section with Skid Plate Mount (RB3008L & RB3008R) for your TJ Wrangler. One of the most important parts of any vehicle is the skid plate.  This vital piece of armor protects and retains your transmission and transfer case. Damage to either of these more or less means you’ve totalled your vehicle.  Not only is the health of the skid plate important, but also its contact points with the rest of the frame. The skid plate is secured to the bottom of your TJ’s center frame sections.  This area is notorious for being one of the first frame areas to...

The YJ Wrangler holds a niche seat in the Jeep community, usually favored by the older community and some collectors.  It’s an attention grabber and contends with newer and heavily modified models due to its Jeep-like visage but with a more box-like spin, namely its headlights, hood, and taillights.  Moreover, the YJ has some of the most sought after variants that are just as, if not more, rare than its CJ-7  predecessor, such as the Renegade.  But just like us, Jeeps grow old and fall apart.  Especially if they lived in salty northern areas.  So we here at Rust Buster...

“Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” – Douglas MacarthurNot so fast General… Sometimes, they can be rebuilt. Introduced in 1996, the Jeep Wrangler TJ reintroduced the signature circular headlights that Jeep is known for. It also marked an improvement in ride and handling with coil- spring suspension, front and rear. If you own a Jeep Wrangler TJ, we know just how much it means to you. But we also know how awful it feels when an issue (large or small) threatens the mechanical life or aesthetic beauty of your favorite off-road soldier. One of the main issues that your TJ...

Calling all Tundra and Tacoma owners!  I call to your attention to an excerpt from Toyota in response to Tacoma owners complaining about a lack of frame integrity caused by excess corrosion and rust: “Toyota has received isolated reports regarding a small number of 1995 through 2000 model year Tacoma vehicles exhibiting excessive corrosion to the frame causing perforation of the metal. Toyota has investigated these reports and determined that the vehicle frames in these vehicles may not have adequate corrosion-resistant protection. This occurrence combined with prolonged exposure to road salts and other environmental factors may contribute to the development of excessive...
