I noticed when I pulled the carpet out of the cargo area I have a few rust spots. One of them is about 6-8 in across and when I hit the dirt and crawl underneath I can see where it is starting to flake off. It's not bad at all on the underside, but it is starting to flake. I know this is due to a leak in the roof from when the previous owner decided to put a rack on and not seal it well.
So what are my options? I saw an article a while back, that involved a YJ, they simply cut the rust out, put in a new piece of sheet metal (slightly thicker than the rest of the tub) and welded it up. Is it possible to do this on a unibody or is it too risky to mess with such a large section of it? Other ideas?
