You should check out some videos on undercoating with Lanolin. Basically there are 2 types. One firms up and the other stays more pasty. It is applied with a special spray gun. Check out Repar Geek for his videos on what to use, what he has tried, where he lives (road salt) and the followup videos one year to I think 5 years later. It should be reapplied if it gets washed off somehow but it protects better than any rubberized or asphalt undercoat. I will do it to my '56 Chevy after I finish restoring it. I also want to do my Wrangler, the TJ is notorious for rusting out the frame.

what a bear! your on the line now. only thing i would do is think about fish plating the seam on the inside of the un. you have the top open, it should be easy enough to get something in there. good job buddy.

Looks like doo doo Factory mine same way 08 Colorado driver side front leaf hanger. So on that note brother that looks great sounds like good plan to me. U should work for Chevy not working on Chevy. Lol. Hey wanna get little more practice let you stay at the house provide tools food. Lol good luck brother looking better all ready cutting that factory doo doo out

That looks perfect Roger. That will be better than new. Those 1/8" plates in the bottom the channel are interesting. I would defiantly reproduce those as well.

Lks great. Lots of work. Nice welds

I like where you're going!

That is coming together nicely. Good Jood Sir

Nice progress.

I really appreciate this

I was ready to throw some shit too thanks for the video

Too far in to turn back now. Will be better than new. Good to see you Roger.

Hey, its been awhile since ive been on YT. Did a repair on my K1500 frame last fall. Bought a sheet of 11 gauge ($150). Cut the bad stuff out, & fabbed my own version of Safe-t cap. Treated the snot out of everything- so far, so good. Yeah, youre in a position where you gotta go forward.

Make an ADJUSTABLE frame dolly with sliders and custom frame/pinch weld clamps. It's gonna eat a weekend or even two of designing and making it. Then you have the freedom of removing a car from the lift even if its removed the rear end or engine and cradle. You're gonna love it.

loving this! grab a v-band clamp for that exhaust. "Other than that" . . . "Im Almost Done" 🤣😅😂

Yeah that is a tough repair. Assuming you can't buy new rails, I agree with GregsGarage. I would cut it back to about an inch from the top and remove as much of the crap as you can. Treat the crap out of what remains and then cut the other rails off the donor jeep up flush with the top and slip them over the remaining original rails and weld it up solid. My fear would be the donor jeep has the same issue but has not come through yet. Alternatively you could fashion your own rails but a lot more effort. Then weld the stiffeners on to the replaced rails and go with it. Not much else you can do with out getting into the body and a potentially much bigger mess. You are the man Roger. No mater what you do it will be better than new I am sure of that.

You've got a good plan... The alternative would be to leave the frame in place and make new pieces that are just a thickness of metal larger and just go right over the top. The old crusty stuff would remain, but you'd have a new frame around it... That method gives me a bit of the "ick", but it would leave a solid frame without the hours of cutting and patching.

Big job but worth it. She will have a good vehicle.

sick!

Better than the pros do it!

after you pull the tape off run a wet brush over the sealer to flatten out the edges

Roger what you use? paint for shooting into the seams paint and wand? Thanks

You take a lot of steps to ensure the results will be as nice as possible and long lasting.

Going to be doing a similar seam sealing job on some inner and outer rockers and cab corners on a 07 crew cab. Used panel adhesive and butt welded, People don't seem to realize how much time and fit-up goes into a job like this, then they wonder why it costs so much. Going to use that sealer and some brushable seam sealer after everything is epoxy primed. Nice work and enjoy your videos.

The direct meaning of "better than factory". 🥇Not many people appreciate the extra time and effort involved in the correct procedures for rustproofing the car.

Nice work... Notice your using the self etch weld thur...how do you like it?

Thanks!

I always love seeing how you prep for a panel replacement... I like how you modified the rocker as well. I know its a lot of work, but I think you'll be pleased with the result.

7 years later and I just learned how to blend my repair. Thanks!

Really happy for you my friend, job well done so far

After you got everything welded up get some 3 m cavity way it has a 12 inch hose with a 360 degree sprayer on the end that will coat the inside of the rocker's don't use under coating it will hold moisture and rust I been doing this trade 30 years i've seen it all good luck buddy.

6:45 id blame a lot of that on the moisture collection via condensation. the xjs are horrible for it. the coatings are not designed to have moisture on them for days and months at a time like they tend to see. the moisture will eventually pernitrate because of this. its why boats get gelcoat and not paint. once the moisture gets to the metal. all the rest of what you stated comes into play. salt, rocks hitting it, etc. its a bear.

I am so glad we don't have to deal with salt here where I live. That is looking nice and strong sir!

awesome work Roger. Will be better than new

Rockers looking real good 🤝

👍💪

Great work. Attention to detail. Very nice!

Those are cool, look like fun to install

That's going to be a very strong and well prepared rock slider. Great work.

can you make a video on using epoxy with a syringe

A refrigerated cooler is the best 800 bucks elimination of all the stuff you have you cant beat the system

I dont believe that filter can keep 100% of the water from entering the tank js

Love your work 👍

Great answer ,thanks a million

That's all real good work man. good update!

Good!

Happy Fathers day Roger. Those spacers are cool. I've always been impressed with your attention to detail.

Nice work! I need those panel clamps. Do you remember where you got them? Thanks

Nice work!

Roger you’re attention to detail is impeccable buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

Man, I'd clamp a piece of angle under that rocker lip and hammer it to the correct dimension instead of splitting it and welding it back. If you're wanting the radius to be sweet, just hammer out a couple test panels and work the edge of the angle iron into the right shape. I've seen you do stuff that's WAY harder than that!!! Then, just trim that lower edge off, once you have the bend in the right spot.
