Thats awesome!

 

It works, provides enough support to rest my foot on, and was free. Can't beat that!

 

it would be kinda funny to see an xj drive by...with a pair of feet dangeling down

 

I'd just let id idle along and walk my feet along the ground

 

I have already played the floor pan game

 

X2 That is what I would do. The spot welds you are referring to are on things like pinch seams that are designed to be spot welded. If you just tack it and slop some goop on it it will not be very strong

 

website or name of place you goth that from PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! My floor is almost all gone minus the trans hump which I'm sure will soon follow suit so I might as well redo it all in 1 shot.

 

I work at a jeep dealer, I ordered it from the parts department.

 

If you look at the second pic, you can almost count the "factory" spot welds on both frame rails. The floor pan is spot welded in and then the seam is sealed. When I was done It looked just like it comes from the factory, a spot weld about every 2.5 to 3 inches.

 

price if you don't mind me asking?

 

My cost was around $200,( I think) there getting pretty hard to come by, the pan I got was for a 97 XJ but it would still fit my 96, the seats mount the same. I also have, a full rear floor pan that I havent installed yet. It was NS1 or disconntinued, I picked that up for about $60 bucks.....They price them low to git rid of them.

 

Man you just saved my butt beyond belief. I've been only finding the jigsaw style kits and they run 400 a pop easy w/o the trans hump. So from what it sounds like I need to run around and hit up all the dealers in the area and see who has one/ will part with it for the least amount of dough right? I was expecting something much higher. Does the rear pan include the full metal skin under the rear seat with all those impossible to recreate bends and angles? Is there any year that wont work? Was any trimming or "massaging" required for the 97+ pan to fit or is it a direct fit?

 

No one will have a pan in stock, and it was not a direct fit. I had to hammer a few spots out but it was very close. I would go to your favorite dealer and see if the can get you one. Chrysler has a TSB out for this repair but they don't list an entire floor pan part number, just in halfs. Warraty time pays 20.0 hours for both sides. so you can double that ....at least!! Mine took about 70 hours start to finish.
You will also need the seat risers for the front of both seats.

 

Whats a TSB? And my 96 has over 136k so I think the warranty was up a LONGGGGGG time ago. Thanks on the seat risers, I wasn't sure if they came with it or not. I'm gonna call the dealer which my mom got her Liberty through and see what I can wok out. BLKXJ 96.... Thank you You saved my butt! Saved me a lot of time, headaches, and $$. They are listed up on the chrysler replacement part search engine. 90 something to 96 4dr station wagon package with full pan, inner rockers, i believe something with the b pillars, and various underside/ connection stuff for 205-ish according to them. I know my inner rocker is going on my passenger side is going as well. I've stripped the interior before, have the carpet cut and sectioned for easy removal, etc. Just outta curiosity how long did it take you. I understand you are a jeep tech and all, and being a first-timer welder i was trying to ballpark how long it will take.

 

BLKXJ Do you know if they are also available for MJs? Can you list the part number so the local dealer can order it?
