body mount repair help

[rbunch4468]

Two metal body to frame channels on my CJ are rotted. These are the pair (drivers side + pass side) just ahead of the rear wheels. It looks like there should be enough space to do a repair by just cutting out the 3" body lift puck, but not sure. A small section of tub sheet metal adjacent to the mount may need repair too. Are there any replacement kits are available? Is this body shop repair stuff? I am on the North Shore in MA. Any suggestions regarding who would be a good resource for this?

How many buckets of money should I expect to need for this?

If you would rather email me directly, I can be reached at [e-mail]

Depending on the condition of the rest of the tub you my want to consider a YJ tub swap. I would take a real good look at the rest of the tub just to see if you are just putting a band aid on a bigger problem just waiting to show its ugly head. Just a suggestion I'm not saying it's your only option but good body work isn't cheap if you can't do it yourself.

Holy krap. Where is the body bushing?

Do the lift and worry about it in spring. Get a good piece off a fubar'd tub or make one with some 1/8" steel sheet.
