Ok so I will be putting a new floor in my jeep this winter and someone on here mentioned c2cfabrication.com and they have by far the best prices on floor and body panels that i have found. I was wondering how many other people on here have purchased floor pans from them and what their quality is like? Would I be better off getting them from some places more expensive like Quadratech.com?

keep in mind the rest of the country is sleeping, or it could be that the title of the thread sounds like a horror movie.

how are you fab skills? some sheet metal from the junk yard and a cut off wheel and welder and you can patch together your own floor. that is time consuming though. just a thought.

Yeah I haven't gutted the jeep yet so depending on how bad it is i might just patch it up. But looking at the underside of it makes me think that it won't be that easy.

can you get some pics? bending sheet metal is easy, if it's curves and angles you have to replace. use something like this.

RockAuto.com has some floor pans, have you compared prices with them yet?

Make sure to check the shipping cost. A front bumper cover for my ZJ is less than 40 bucks from rockauto, but the shipping would be $175!

Oh wow yeah I'll check that out. The floor pans cost about the same at both rockauto and c2cfabrication but I didn't look at the shipping.

I just ordered a full length front pass floor pan from them on Thursday night. $105 with shipping. it is by far the cheapest I could find but, I'm a little worried about the reliably/shipping times.
When i called called this morning they said that the floor pan was in a diff warehouse. they would be receiving it today and shipping it out to me. they also said i should get a email with tracking update. no email yet.

I will let you know how my experience with c2c fab goes.
