Is there a way to fix this rust?

Just bought 2003 tj. After a good power wash found more rust than I thought I had. Soft spots on bucket where bucket meets the frame. Frame looks like it has been replaced at some time looks solid. Don't want to replace bucket. Is there a fix other than replacement ????

There is always a way to fix rust. A lot of the time it involves cutting the rust out and welding new steel in, concerning the frame. If it's soft, I guarantee you're going to need to cut it out.

What "bucket"?
I don't see any rust
