My 94 cherokee's floorboards are almost rusted through.I have cleaned up the rust the best I could and applied rubberized undercoating. What else can I do?

Yeah, lots of places have replacement floors for pretty cheap. Thats the only way to TRULY solve rust. If you have a welder it can be done fairly easily, and if not get a buddy with one. If you dont have a buddy with one, buy one and learn how to weld. Of course, this is IF youre going to keep your Jeep and its worth it. Some are, some arent.

On another note, does anyone know FOR SURE if those pans on rock auto that are listed for '84-'96 will fit on later models? I didnt realize that the floor was changed. Will those pans actually fit my '99?
