First all - this forum is amazing, such a wealth of information.
Here's my story and questions:
I bought a 1996 XJ, 4wd, manual, about two years ago - my first jeep. The past six months I have changed rear shocks (broke all four bolts), slave and master cylinder, new tires, brake discs and rotors in the front etc.. etc...
Needless to say, I am falling in love with this jeep, and saving $$ on self-repairs!!
Question: Rust, passenger and drivers floor panels are horrible, along with the cargo area, and above the muffler is probably the worst (I live in boston, heavy salt).....Should I purchase heavy steel plates, try to shape? Should i purchase JC Whitney panels, and learn how to weld??
OR, do you just wait until your absolutely HAVE TO start addressing the rusted out floor of your XJ...
Im scared, alone, and crying, I love my jeep and don't want it to rust out from under me!!
Thanks in advance.:explosion
