Its probably a bit late to tell you now, but right where you straightened the bed near the tail light is VERY easy to just cut right off right at that first body line. Basically, right at the edge of where yours was dented. I did it to my MJ, and even re-rolled the lip to put some stength back into it again. My MJ had some rot going on in that area, but it is also a commmon area that gets all beat up when offroading. People don't even notice that mine is cut off.
 
Good looking MJ!
 
Looks good, If you still plan on moving back east I would atleast throw a good coat of paint on the undercarriage before you undercoat it because the salt goes right through undercoating.
 
That's sharp man, I love the swb MJs. I WILL have one eventually.

Why are new wheels and tires in the plan? The tires look good and the wheels look nice with the white.
 
He stripped it.

He found a couple cracks and a hacked up cross member and convinced himself it was not salvageable.

Oh well, I got the burgundy dash and A pillar trim.
