Wow, I really need another TJ!

As much as I’ve seen some friends beat on s10 truck off-road, I kind of feel like this was caused or at least started and omitted by the prior owner/ extreme abuse.
 
All fixed now. Thanks for the thoughtful replies! Darrin, a great mobile welder here in Phoenix, traced it to a bad factory weld. A couple patches and its back to "like a sandstone" Chevy tough. I'm heading back to the desert tomorrow but I won't boor this forum with the outcome. Ironically, these little trucks have a following and I can probably sell it for $6K. That's half-way there. I'll be shopping for a TJ soon!
