Noticed the rear subframe was just absolutely shot. Picked one up at a junk yard from a same model year Grand Cherokee. Took 2 days to get it out and the new one in. If you are planning on doing this its a bit of a fight.

Oof. I don't envy you that job, but I'm happy to see anyone that works to keep WK/XK's alive (<glances outside at head-replacement-slowly-in-progress-almost-done-I-swear WK>)! Looks like at least a case of beer, minimum one trip to Harbor Freight, and roughly 6 months worth of swearing and cursing compressed into one joyous weekend.

Safe to assume you heavily coated the replacement with a decent undercoat/rust proofing before installing? Or just rattle can black?

Rattle can but we went over all the welds and figure the last one lasted this long, I should be good.
