Have done something similar to my courier, not that bad though. there are strengthening brackets you can buy. Below is what I got for the courier, so there should be a similar bracket for the Rodeo.
Mine where only cracked and the panel beater was able to weld them up.

Thanks for the comments
As I said its my Grandsons GF (Girl Friends) vehicle
I think its been a bit abused off road
The top of the shock bracket is totally broken through
(if you know what your looking at Ctl/+ will enlarge the
pic so you can see)
I expect the lower part will need to be removed from the chassis and all will need to be rewelded or replaced
