Mine is a 03, I got to much rapped up in it to trade it yet.
Taking it to my body guy next week for an estimate.
Looks like a bad design as far as water on a weld is concerned. They have the top edge of the weld facing up hill so water can run in rather than facing it down so water runs over it like a shingle. Once you get some salt and grime in there your F'd and whalah rust!!

jerbacher,
I am taking mine to Gary down at Marlboro body and paint. this guys does great work. He's done body and paint on Rolls and ferrari's.
I'll let you know how much to fix it.
In the mean time you should get some rust inhibitor and spay on the weld to keep water out. They sell this stuff that hards to a waxy like material that sticks to the metal.
If you want I can send you some pics of my jeep from indian creek Pa. to your email. I can't attach them to the web here as I do not have them on a URL.

I have an 05, and mine has some rust starting across the top edge of the gate that is covered by the rubber. I just noticed it a couple weeks ago, but mine is soon to go in for the ball joint recall, so the dealer will def be doin something about it.
