'02 WJ
I'm starting to have rust pinholes new on of my control arm mounts. No repair sections are sold for WJ's from what I can find.
My plan is to cut out the damaged section to access the interior of the framerail, where most of the rust is, to eliminate the rust, the flange in a new section of metal, and plate over that with frame stiffeners.
To do that, I need to be able to flange the existing 1/8" framerail, so the filler panel will sit flush to the surface, for the stiffeners to go on correctly. The flanger I've got maxes at 16ga. I've tried 14ga, and it only half offsets the material.
I need a way to flange 1/8" metal in place on the vehicle.
