I should be acquiring a 99 100 series this weekend. Up here in MI, of course rust is an issue. In my case, the truck is very good outside of the rockers. I'm looking for input to see if anyone has gone to the extent of cutting out the rockers and installing square tube sliders in their place on a 100? Similar to the results on this 60 in this thread Rusty Wagon Rebuild
It also appears to be a common Cherokee thing, doing some youtube research.
In case you're wondering, this thing is just a comfy runabout / towing upgrade on my 80 series. It has 300k + miles, but appears well maintained, runs sewing machine smooth outside of a small exhaust leak when cold, fresh tires, and a documented timing belt within the last 20k. Interior is in nice condition, and it has rear locker. Solid if I can find a simple fix for the rockers. The rest of the rust is small surface rust nicks that can be easily repaired. I have no illusions of this thing becoming a show car.
So, any input? I'll update the thread early next week if everything goes as planned over the weekend.
Thanks
