Like most of our trucks, it does need rust repair at the bottom of each fender. I did find a bit of rust on the passenger side where it bolts to the bushing. It is not completely rotted so it could go back on as is. I think a lot of what I do with it will depend on time. Yes, it would probably better to fix things while it is apart now, but sometimes I am not very patient.
I totally get your thought process here. It's why I haven't taken mine apart fully for the rust repair. I've been enjoying driving it too much
