Default No Floor

My jeep rear floor by the trunk is completely gone. the rust on it was just so bad that i ended up dropping the gas tank and cutting the floor out. now i have a sheet of sheet metal to cut out and put in but would it be easier to buy the metal already bent and ready to weld?

Why are you bending it the rear floor is flat. It just needs to get cut to fit the wheel wells.

The floor out of another Cherokee is premade

Just depends on your level of skill, for some it would be easier to just fabricate a floor, others not so much. Decide which party you belong in and then do accordingly.
