Unibody Fixin

So my new jeep has some holes in the unibody, i know that fromt he factory in most spots its only an 1/8th inch thick so welding in some bits and pieces won't be too bad but will it hold up and be strong enough for wheelin?

If you were going to weld in fish plates i would make them long so the stress is put out farther

[Ktmracer419]

depends on the holes

some of it isnt even 1/8"

And cut/punch/drill holes for rosette welds.

ive never seen a unibody with rot on it

all i know is its a bitch to weld to so you might as well just plate the whole thing instead of just patching it

Like I told you earlier, I've never seen an xj unibody rot through. They are cheap enough, just get another one.

i have seen entire floors go missing, yet the rails stayed in the same spot unharmed.

the inside of them appear to be galvanized last time i saw one.

now im no galvanizing expert, but can you galvanize one side of metal? or does the finish come off with a flap wheel or something? because i have welded to the outside of rails just fine and dandy. (and galvanized metal is supposed to be a bitch to weld and could kill you with the smoke)

Well i think im just plating the whole thing because i dont feel like starting over, we'll see how i come out monetarily in the spring, it only has to last me a year.. im starting another project in the spring this is just gonna be a temp rig to get me back out there
