There was ton of dirt build up on the frame that at first looked like rust.
This looks bad but the frame was 100% intact. This is also a very common area for rust to happen. I then inspected the frame where the gas tank lives. The straps that hold the tank to the skid where rusted through so removing the tank from the skid was easy.
I disconnected the fuel lines and fill lines then dropped the tank. This is a great setup as the gas tank can not rust out and clog fuel filters but Jeep made the skid plates out of thin metal with poor rust prevention so they do not last. To support the weight, the gas tanks are fastened to a metal skid.
A common issue with Grand Wagoneers is rusting gas tank skids.
