My tub near the factory rocker guard I rusted through, so, I want to cut it out and put in a steel patch. What gauge steel is the tub? 14 gauge? There is a place I can get the steel from that has all sizes. Thanks, Mike

probably 18ga or 20ga. for the tub sides. 18ga would be easier to weld, so i'd go with it.

Another option would be to go to a local JY and cut out patches from an old tub. I got my patch panels from a CJ5.
