Hi - I have a 04 Sport that has rusted holes in both rear fenders. It’s the area at the bottom of the front of the rear fender. I have to imagine this is a common problem but I can’t seem to find anyone who makes patch panels. Pics below. Thanks!
Welcome to the forum.
Panels might be available but most of what you need in that area is pretty straight forward and easy to make. I patched those areas of my LJ recently. A lot of the repair area will be covered by the flares and in my case the sill covers.

The ends of your torque boxes (the rectangular "holes" in your pics) look pretty crusty. They are available and are a pain in the butt to replace in whole or in part. Follow them from what you show in your pics to the front wheel well area and prod them with a hammer, screwdriver or what ever to assess any damage. In my case one side was good but I had to do the other side. Torque boxes are welded to the floors and are integral to the strength of the tub.

This is a very good post- Good job.
As much as I am quick to tell people to try to avoid getting a TJ with much rust, I have the utmost respect for you guys to have to deal with it.
Thanks for the replies. I’m new to Jeep world and working front to back on the restoration.

The extra hole in the right front upper control arm to pull the axle backward is a trick that I don’t think I’ve seen or heard of-
