I have a little rust and a crack on the bottom of the passenger side jack point.
Rest of longs, and hell hole is great. Should I just have the bad spot cut out and reweld in new metal, or replace the whole jack point piece. If replacing the whole piece is the right way, how do you remove the old one? Cut/grind it out or drill out the spot welds? Thanks, Tom Attached image(s)

If that was me, I would cut off the bottom of the jack post.
For you, take a much closer look inside the jack post via the "drain hole" that IC is clogged with rust. Clean that out with a pick and vacuum....then decide. The problem is that the jack post is full, and has been full, of junk for many years...so the wall behind it is what most likely is rotted. RIch |
