Back on topic, the foam padding under the carpet really held water for a long time. Before the floor rusted completely through, the water had no where to go but the lowest point and disperse evenly through the padding just eating the poor metal below.
I have no clue how I am going to replace the rockers after i fix the floor since that pinch seam is 90% gone, only surviving at the very front and back of it. I have plastic garbage bags holding the carpet into the jeep by securing the bags under the trim panels lol.

My pinch seams were mostly gone too. I bent up new rockers that attach to the sill plate under the doors, bend around then under like the factory rockers did, but instead of a pinch seam they are extended all the way back to the frame rail. I attached them to the floor pan where it meets the frame. So far so good.
Rockauto has pans from $41 just for front to $97 for a full front and rear pan.
They also sell the full rear cargo pan (Which I have sitting in the garage right now for my 95).

Dude, Where's my floor?
