cracks need repair
XJ unibody is not strong
cracks must be grooved out and welded by someone with experience
I would also weld plate over that and inspect all areas around steering box and opposite
Its dangerous like that

Weld, with doubler plates for strength. Looks like a straight forward repair, not a rust issue as everything looks good a clean there.
is she lifted, big tires, doing some hard wheeling, collision damage????
That is int he area of the steering gearbox, there are kits to strengthen that area, a must do for big tires and wheeling, and even for long hard street use.
Bummer, but an easy repair. not a death sentence by any stretch,
