Morning fellas,

I found some surprisingly large holes under the carpet in my Jeep this weekend. I want to go cut some OEM patches from the JY as I know they have a solid Jeep chassis there (I was just there last weekend). However, at the time I didn't know I needed floor pans and didn't think to look at how they were attached - I'm assuming some spot welds along the frame and maybe some seam welds where the pans join each other? I'd look at mine, but...well, there ain't nuttin' to look at really.

I'm thinking I'll need a battery powered angle grinder and a drill with a spot weld cutter. Some prybars, probably. Anything else I'm not thinking off?

Thank you,

-Matt

 

The floor pans arent separate parts.

How much of the floor do you need?

 

Safety goggles and a dust mask.

 

Well, I'm assuming they were separate plates that were welded together at the factory during assembly, so there should be some areas that could guide my cuts. I need roughly 6-8' from the bulkhead/hump that the *front* of the *rear* seat lays on, back towards the rear of the cab. It's kind of strange. The floor pan is either completely missing and I'm staring at the ground or fair solid (albeit rusty). So I was planning to cut back to completely good metal, using my pneumatic crimper, and then lay in the new pieces/weld/seam seal/POR-15.

Good thoughts...they weren't on my list and that was dumb...

Also - cardboard templates of the sections I need to ensure I get enough!

Appreciate the assistance gents,

-Matt

 

If you have to go to the edges you may have to battle some seam sealer, the tiny cans of goo off and a screwdriver work okay
