Kinda need help, was cleaning my Jeep and found under my driver side floor mat was water. Nothing looks like it's leaking but I saw under my Jeep some kind of plug (kinda new with having a XJ ). is there a way I could just seal that up before my floor rusts away. Or do they make something for it

It is a drain plug. They make replacements in both rubber and steel.


Assuming you don't do allot of deep water crossings in your Jeep you can use sealant (automotive seam sealer is best, but RTV or silicone should work as well) to prevent water from getting in. Make sure to treat the rusted metal with good rust-inhibitor paint (POR15, Rust-Bullet, Chassis Saver, etc.) to seal the existing rust in the floor pan and prevent it from getting worse, then replace the plug if it is badly rusted or fits poorly and seal it well.

Awesome thanks bud. I figure I could replace the plug but the sealant sounds like a good temp replacement for now
