THANK GOD I don't have to deal with that sort of rust.

If it were me... I'd scrap the Jeep and buy a different one.

But with enough cutting, grinding, plating, welding and improvising you could get it fixed.

patch it up and go with a coil conversion, that way you don't have to worry about integrity of the repair so much.

X2 if that broke due to rust then the rest of the body must be trashed.

It should not be that hard to build a better stronger box.

wow! I think mine is headed this way. I can stick my finger through the rust that used to be floor around both back boxes.... and i have a strange symptom.. back end likes to dive down and to the driver side on sharp bumps... did yours do that?
