Because I'm asking if this was your jeep or someone elses, you had the resources, how would you fix it, do it right? I've never worked on the underbody of a car or jeep in my life. What other products would you buy? Like frame stiffeners from somewhere else rather then just using all metal from a steel mill?
My earlier comment still stands. Cut your losses and part it out.
Check cragslist. You might find a clean, running, rust free, registered Jeep with good rubber for $1,200. I did! Had to get use to lectric windows though.....
OP, I hope you don't take this as me being a smart-***, but if for some reason you choose to ignore the sound advice you've been given as to the lack of roadworthiness and safety of that vehicle, consider being certain you have full coverage insurance. If an attorney gets involved due to an accident you'll be in a rock and a hard place.
I bought a new jeep today, well a 1997 xj sport with 243,000 miles. Little rust on rockers, on passenger floor pan, on fenders. It came with a set of 97 fenders with no rust, a spare rear 8.25 rear axle, a light bracket with 4 off road lights on it, super swamper 31's. It has no unibody rust, the entire frame is clean from rust. Got it for $1,300 came with a 4.5 flex lift kit on it, and adustable lower control arms and sway bar disconnects
I swapped my mickey Thompson 31's on it instead

Reason: Tires
My buddy has a 98 xj sport, we're going to swap my engine and some other stuff from my white one, into his 98 and cut the rear half of his off and make a Baja that can go through anything. I just gotta get all the metal for it this Friday from the steel mill. Gonna take my 4.5 lift from the white xj and put it in his green one and cut out the fenders alot to fit bigger then 35's inside.

And if the windows don't come down you can't even throw the cat out.
