I have the interior gutted for the most part, and the old floors cut out. I ordered new front floor pans online from Morris4x4.com Here is the link for the passanger side: http://www.jeep4x4center.com/key-par...y-482222r.html
Question is for anyone who has redone their floors with actual replacement floor pans-What did you do with the brace that goes accross the floor to bolt the seat down? The rust on my jeep continues under that brace (its not nearly as bad under it) If you click on the link and look at the picture, it is not part of the floor pan, but its welded to the floor. The goofy thing is that this part and the driver side pan are too long, they hit the seat brace (or whatever its called). I payed 95.00 a piece and i might just cut them shorter to fit, but i feel like i shouldn't be doing that. Any suggestions?

Also, what does anyone have to say about this: seems decent, but not sure about the welding technique.. i wouldnt mind sending my floor pans back and peicing it together and saving over 100 bucks!

i would like to know what the best way is to fix it my passenger rear floor board is rusted also along with the rocker panels whos got some good idea's?

can really help, but my drivers side is rusted through no where else, but the seat bolts are rusted out, and ideas on how to get them out, and then bolted back down?

If you can weld I would say piecing them together doesn't seem bad, but if you leave any air pockets you're going to be replacing them again in a few years. I would say a good mig or tig is your best option for this as you can control the temp, but I've seen guys do sheet metal with sticks too so use what you have I guess. If you're not planning on putting the carpet back in I would use the single piece ones, just so it looks decent. And xjnewby, that's what we call hijacking a thread, make your own man.

Lol. Yeah not a bad idea, because I think I'm ditching the carpet. I have bed liner I purchased for the inside

If you weld the pieces good and hit them with a flapper wheel you could probably get away with piecing it together even if you run without carpet. Just make the welds small but still have good penitration.

Ok so, (for anyone who is even paying attention to this thread lol) since i didnt get any real opinions on the seat brackets, i went ahead and cut them out.. i will try and post some pictures tomorrow if i can. If anyone in the future is going to do their floor pans and is going to order from the site that i did, just know that you will have to either cut the pan shorter or cut out the seat brackets and weld them back in!!

Thanks! I'm putting bedliner over the top and rubberized undercoating on the bottom. Then the interior back in. I'll put finished pics up in a day or so.
