webbjeepxj Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 What is the best way to patch this floor panel ....... Where should I cut? can I cut the top off the frame rail?
btm24 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Cut out ALL bad metal weld in new steel. paint over with some type of rust stopping paint or bed linner Brandon
ryno56 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 mine was almost exactly the same as that. I cut off the frame top and fit in some 1/4" plate inside the frame, flush with the top, and then sheeted the whole thing with 12ga on the floor and shaped some 20ga to rebuild the hump (it's what I had). I didn't put the frame top back on but I did put the side stiffener back on. I cut it back to about the rear seat posts before I found enough good metal to weld to. From this: to this, after seam sealer and before POR-15. the other brackets are to mount my '98 XJ buckets.
LarryH88bt Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I did something similar ^^^^^^. Welded in a couple plates to box in the frame rail. Mine's ugly so no pics. :D
