Easily fixable, if you cant do it, bring it on up and I can do it for you. Just bring me some metal.

For a guy from Cali.....yes, sell the tub to me.

For a guy from newengland....it just needs a small amount of mig wire....

Seriously, take off the jack plate and get a new one, weld it back together...done.

NO!
A= buy a new piece and put it in
B=cut it off and replace rotten metal with new piece and forget about jack post
C=waste time repairing rusted post
Most likely there will be rot on the long behind the post so you should go ahead and remove it

No one uses the stock jack....you REALLY should lift it from the donut under the car....

When I re do a car...that's the first thing that goes....

It's true I don't use the stock jack.

However, I *always* use the jack point with a floor jack lift plate. Lifts the whole side of the car at once. Fast.

And when it lets go? You get a scar from the rocker halfway up the door....stoopid place for the jack point.

It's his car he can do anything he wants...."I" just think it looks cleaner with it removed and safer when it's not there to be used...

me too, no problem with the stock jack-post location. it's plenty strong if it's not rusted ...

Fix it. That's an easy repair. I'd even do that myself (now). I use the stock jack points with a receiver and floor jack.
