thought I got deal of a lifetime...




I checked this entire jeep and was in shock it had no rust anywhere including rocker panels, doorwells.
it was 10 degrees and windy so It was a quick inspection I did so. anyway, it is what it is.
Since im female, Im constantly catching machanics trying to rip.me off.

So, I will not be welding, so its gonna have to be rivit heaven.
I do not know the entire extent of the rust until i pull up the carpets.
My only concern is, how can I tell the frame is in good shape. Im no professional but looks ok to Me
Also , can someone give me a list of the tools I need for this project. My ex boyfriend stole my tools.

Ill take pictures of everything today sometime of underneath.

So, please help me out guys. Im on my own and my health isnt good, especially my back lol.
Gonna be a ruff one but It has to be done right.

Cheers
Justine

Pictures would help. The only unibody I've replaced floor pans on was a 66 mustang. Its pretty straightforward remove any seam sealer that might be on the pan drill out the spot welds and remove. Once it's out you should be able to see the condition of the "frame" rails from the inside. Then in your case you would drill and rivet the new pan in place and replace seam sealer. I use a air grinder with a wire wheel to remove the sealer you will also need a drill with a spot weld remover and a rivet gun with rivets. Maybe a angle grinder and a hammer and chisel depending on how difficult the old pan is to remove. Like I said I've never done one on a Cherokee and I've always welded them back in place but this should be a starting point.
