How Best To Fix Wheel Well Rust?

[Biotex]

Any recomendations to repair this? I have a mig welder.

I could cut some of the rusted edge out, and perhaps slip a piece of new metal behind and tack it in, but the seam is right at the fold in the metal.

I looked, and didn't see any replacement wheel arches out there. Maybe i'm looking in the wrong places. Any suggestions?

JY. I cut arches out of a MJ to repair my drivers side. Haven't gotten to that part of the work yet, though.

Alexia said she thought you might be able to use arch sections from XJs.

Do you know of a place to purchase just the wheel arch areas?

I am going to install those, but first need to kill the rust and to give the flares something to hold on to... I just read the install instructions for the flares. Doesn't appear to me that any metal gets cut from the top of the arches where my rust is. Am I wrong?

You're right. With the bushwhackers, the only trimming is on the front and rear of the wheel wells.

I got mine from a junkyard for $20.00 I just cut out the top if you go new you have to buy the whole thing.
