Default Cherokee newbie..

Hi, im new to owning a Cherokee but not a jeep. My names Brittany and im from Baltimore (go Ravens) i owned a 90 Wrangler before and then sold it and purchased an STI. now i decided i wanted a jeep again and picked this one up from PA not to long ago. the interior was in bad shape so im in the process of re-doing it. wraped the headliner in camo, replacing both mirrors, replaced the windsheild, starting ripping the carpet out to bedline it and turns out the entire rear cargo is rusted through. In the process of looking for a rear floor pan so if anyone knows where i could get one for a decent price or has any tips let me know thanks.

You might need to search around below but they sell all the body parts. How's your rocker panels? They appear to have a fresh coat of paint on them, hmmm.

from what i can see the rocker panels look okay. im sure once i get the thing up on a lift it might tell me another story lol.

thanks for the links! i found a place called C2Cfabrications.com that had what i need for $120 also but it seems there site wont let you go past the checkout spot so ill be looking else where for now.

Brittney, Since they made over 2 million of these Jeeps, plenty of parts are available. Do an online search. eBay, Quadratech, Four Wheel Drive Hardware are possible sites, as well. After I made my own floor pan for my daughter's `99, I found them online. Just do not remember where. The Jeep looks nice, enough. If you plan on doing a lot of wheeling, I would not drain your budget on cosmetics. These are great Jeeps. Enjoy it. If you do want to wheel, look up Middle Atlantic Four Wheel Drive Association. We have some events that you may enjoy. Member club, PA Jeeps will have another awesome All Breeds of Jeeps Show in York, PA in July. The United Four Wheel Drive Association will have it's Annual Meeting right afterwards, followed by a trail ride at Rausch Creek. A big week. Good Luck with you rig, Brittney.

Hi Brittany,
I'm a newbie too. Nice score on your 2-door! Looks like you won't need to spend much on lifting it!

Go Ravens!!!
