MN salt/rust might have killed another Jeep, lol

I just got a call from my daughter and her beloved liberty has a major issue. The drivers lower control are mount has rusted completely through.

I will be looking at it this weekend. Do I have any options for a weld on repair piece if there is any solid material left or do I have to break the news to her the jeep is dead?

Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will attached the picture she sent me.

Wow..Does Minnesota mix glue in with their road salt?
That does not appear to be a DIY repair and if that one area is like that, what about the rest?
You could have a pro body shop look at it, but I am afraid of what they would say at this point.

All I can say after viewing that is...I am so glad I got mine properly undercoated early in life.
Keeping the KJ clean & doing preventative rust control yearly is key in salty environments.

Thanks for the info! That might just work, lots of solid frame forward of the factory lower control arm mount

Currently already has a 2.5" lift in it so this would be the ticket
