That was actually a tough spot to do not going to lie. But, burned it in, sleep it up and coated it.

Back to the rocker!

If you twist your head upside down you can see rocker patches and pieces being cut out.

Shmootsed the rocker with some mud

And ground down and sealed the unibody with some sem rust encapsulater.20210708_190522.jpg.22b04d45e71bd426e745109d38f223a9.jpg20210708_190513.jpg.3c7c5c58db564477600e6af093ed2471.jpg

Kinda clear and thick qnd sticky like honey and will run down your hands if your not careful lol

I seam Sealed and coated it too with some undercoat.

 

Another spot I was aware of that I couldn't leave be was the left rear wheel well area. Which turned out to be more than I though it was. Like this whole project has been.. lol

This turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be and I was happy with the results.

I did grind, seam seal and coat the outside, I didn't leave it with visible welds but I don't have a photo of that.

I have dome a lot more work to it than this. I just haven't taken any more photos.

Front lower control arms were so shot the metal sleeve just fell out of the bushings. So they were replaced.

I ended up patching another piece of the floor on the driver side for the seat brace.

I fixed a botched wiring job/repair someone did. At one point in time it had a viper security system.. for whatever reason? :dunno: it already had one factory.. but they cut it out and left nubs of wires and soldered wires wrapped in electrical tape. So one at a time I cut soldered and heat shrunk and wrapped the whole loom in electrical tape.

The fenders were fully secured, front skid plate, tcase skid, power antenna, I started installing the wheel liners too.

 

I took it for a good long drive yesterday and both me and the jeep got to experience deathwobble for the first time!

65-70 was a no go. So cruised at 60 while I pondered what could be causing it..

Still don't have an answer but I'll be checking things and getting an alignment in the hopes that's the issue.

And about 20 minutes home from its voyage the front left caliper started sticking bad. You could smell the scorched rotor. So I have to address that now too.

And the vehicle display was being buggy so I pulled that out to reflow the soldered spots and changed two expanded capacitors.

It's been a long road but the list is getting smaller
