I don't mean the photos are great, looks like a very bad rust problem
there. It's going to take some doing to save the vehicle from rusting
more and to repair what's already been done, I hope it works out for
you and the shops you've talked to are able to repair things.
Good luck.

That 'looks' almost like the skid still, not the 'frame'? Or do you
mean the frame of the skid?

I would start checking out wreckers to find a replacement. Maybe there
is one there already changed for new, it happens.
Meanwhile there are lots of places to get Jeep tanks and skid plates
usually.

This is the most important. Your spring will tear loose there. They
can remove the mount and spring hanger and put an angle plate over it,
then put them back. Cost me about $150.00 for a job like that on mine.
