    I put a new frame under my 97 2 years ago for this; mien went just ahead of the hump going over the axle; boxed frames are stronger; BUT they need drain holes! (TJ's are lacking there)

    AX 15 rebuild?

    that's good to know; several years ago I pulled my brother's AX5 and sent it out for a "bench rebuild" and put it back in. I'm just "leery" since I have never had a stick apart. Done lots of clutches, but never had to rebuild a stick transmission.
