Recently took my 88GW in for a paint job, new vinyl and anything else that might need fixing. Although the outfit is almost completely rust free I found that the frame was badly rusted where the fuel tank skid plate attaches - typical for this rig I am told. I got one of the kits from Team Grand Wagoneer and my body guy says he can install it.
After seeing this I did a little more digging to see if there are any other rust issues I haven’t seen, and found that the driver’s-side rear spring bracket is badly rusted. I always tried to keep the drain holes clear, but it still clogged up with mud. The body guy doesn’t seem to think that it’s a big deal, but I’d still like to find a permanent solution.
I’m sure other guys have had this issue and I’d like to know what they did to resolve it? Is it possible to get a new bracket that can be welded on and if so where can I get one?
Thanks………..
