Well if thats not the case my D30 will be up for sale soon. Minus the hubs/brakes/locker.

Expansion foam and fiberglass or get someone with a welder and a new piece of jeep? Cancer is on both roof corners in the rear. Driver side hole is 1/4 larger than this picture. Once I grind to clean metal these holes will double I'm sure.

get this one.

It's more versatile and holds up better than the duralast ones.

Sorry you have to deal with that, tough spot.
What I have learned about expanding foam is that its open-cell structure, will allow water/moisture in and hold it. Even though foam will be covered up, condensation can still be an issue. Could use chunks of closed-cell foam instead.

May also want to look inside the rear quarter panels for water. The holes on roof will direct water into them where it stays.

Once it's running it runs smooth and doesn't have any hic ups. Still getting good gas mileage too. So I don't think it could be the fuel pump, but it kinda sounds like my crank sense might be goin bad? It's always started right up before, until yesterday. What does it seem to sound like to you guys?
Bump! It's getting worse! Lol still starts but takes a while now and if it doesn't start it almost act likes it's not gettin enough spark to fire all the cylinders. Could just my coil be goin out?

Where would the welding have to be done at? And what kind of welding would be the best?
