Love the video! Gives me motivation for my jeep as it is in similar shape with the floor pan rust. I’ve been stressing out with the section under the back seat next to the wheel well, but I now have confidence seeing as you are repairing the same section close to the way I was thinking of fixing it. Mine is very rough but it has alot of sentimental value and I tracked it down and bought it back 4 years after my dad sold it.
You can do it! It just take a lot of time and patience to do this. My theory - as long as the unibody "frame" is solid, then floorpans are totally worth the effort. Cut out the old metal, clean it up, POR15 it all..and become a metal fabrication expert. Best of luck to you in your restoration!!!
Just got a 95 Cherokee country that needs floor pans and easy engine work. All new front end, engine work, lift, wheels and tires. Solid frame! No rust. After market bumpers. All for $1,200! But floor pans are rusted through! Got to do the back as well!I have a cheap harbor freight welder. Not the best welder either. Hopefully it turns out good! Haha
@@johnmcguire5220 found a lot more damage to the frame and other areas. Half way through had to sell it due to life circumstances. Went to great hands. Wish I could’ve finished it
I have a 1988 2 door Laredo sport with a 4.7 stroker that’s currently apart because the main bearings were worn. 0psi at idle. Anyhow my 88 is rusted through and through so I have to replace my pans, rockers, etc etc before she’s road ready again. It sucks but I love my jeep so I guess I have to fix it if I’m going to keep it.
Had to do most of the same work on my 95 Sport. Also got my front floor pans from C2C. They sent the 2 piece left and right pans as they were out of the one piece, same price as the 1 piece. Also had to do the rockers on mine. My rear floor wasn't as bad as yours, so I just pieced it in. Didn't have access to a welder, so I ended up going with panel adhesive and self tapping screws. Turned out very solid. The 92 floors seem a little different. Didn't see the cross supports for the front seat mounts. Also the area for the rear seat looks different. Good work! Have fun. God bless, stay well.
Project Bumble Jeep, I’m in the same boat as you, year and everything. Sorry to bother, but could you give more info on the panel adhesive method and how you went about doing it? Not looking forward to doing this, but it has to be done on my 95 and I’m looking for any tips.
@@mrautomatech2329 I ordered my panel adhesive from Amazon and "borrowed" a application gun from a friend with a body shop. I cut out the worst of the rust. I got my floor pans from C2C Fabrication. I had ordered the 1 piece pans and ended up with 2 piece pans as the 1piece were out of stock. The 2 piece are made from heavier material. Also got the rockers from them. I scuffed all the new parts with a red scotchbrite pad, wiped down with thinner and sprayed with POR15. Rockers will need trimmed to fit door opening. Grind the mating surfaces (example: floor and underside of new floor pans) this is where you will apply the panel glue. Test fit all of your panels before glue applied. It's also a good idea to scribe the edges of the new panels against the floor so you know where to apply the glue. I used 1"lg. self tappers (5/16" head) to hold panel in place after glue(ing). If you have any other questions, just ask. Happy to help.
@@projectbumblejeep4190 Thanks so much for the detailed response! Really cool of you. I think I’m going to go this route as well and all of this info is very helpful.
i have a 95 xj and my floor pans are bad but my unibody frame rails are rusted in two on both sides. but im restoring it going to start a second channel on this build
So I bought a 1999 jeep cherokee xj and it has rust all throughout the vehicle. I am glad I found your channel. Does your source have the trunk cargo floor panel? I see they have up to a 1996 but not 1999.
Glad you are saving these treasures
Yes..these beautufil machines need to be saved and treasured. Thanks for watching!!!!

Nice job Joe.You have a lot more patience than me.....
Thanks man!!! I have to take it in small pieces. Lol. It’s a long journey.

Yeah. I understand that. You can see the finished product through all the rust. It just takes time and patience. Good luck with your jeep.

Thank you!! Yeah, these floor pans are a pain for sure but slow and steady. Cheers!!!

Same
Nice work!!!!!
When you did the full pan on the driver side, how did you deal with the leaf spring perch?
i got mine for 400$ 4.0 runs like a dream with 40k miles an i gotta replace the floor pans

Did you use POR15 or Eastwood?
Eastwood Rust Encapsulator worked very well.
