Default need help fixing rust

I am working on removing all bad parts of my floors (most of my floor pans) and putting in new metal. I was wondering what the best anti rust type products I could use were ? Suggestions ?

Yeah, I'm doing pretty much the same thing right now. I ordered a whole new floor pan for the area that's really bad. Once I get the old one out it'll be welded in. What everyone on the forum will tell you to do is after you patch all the holes is to get a truck bed liner like herculiner and do the whole floor area. Some people even like it so much they never end up putting their carpets back in. The bed liner is the best protection you're going to find for your floor.

Alright here's my input. I had several baseball or bigger sized holes in my floor that I patched up.

After I patched everything I bedlined the inside of the Jeep with Rustoleum Bedliner which lays thin but strong.

Make sure you coat the underside of the patch too! I prefer an asphalt undercoating because of its sheer durability and corrosion prevention
