Default Need opinions on whether to keep or not.

I've got 2k Black XJ that I've owned since new. She's bruised and battered. NJ and Ohio salts have eaten the rockers and part of the driver's front floor pan. I've done allot over the years, new radiator, water pump, typical stuff besides what listed in the sig below.
I'm on the fence now, try to chase the rust with tube rockers and sheet metal or move it all over to a "fresher" xj that I picked up that's has solid rockers and floors.

Any way I look at it, it's allot of work; axles, bumpers, sye, armor and so on will need to move. Keeping the old one is welding in 2x6 (I'm a newbie at welding), sheet for the floor and whatever else I find under the undercoating.

Either way I bought CavFab's 3 link to replace my drops and will get some new springs to replace my front saggers and add a leaf rear.

My heart's saying "Save her!" My brain's saying "New Build"

That is a nice looking white one you have and very clean almost to clean to get ready for off road and unmolested one harder to find for sure.


I guess it boils down on how much you beat on one as to what you do fix up the black one for full blown off road and DD the other or have a Bad *** really clean off road one that you won't want to scratch up.
