jeepcoma Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 boo hoo :cry: Just got back from the inspection shop and they wouldn't pass it due to the holes in the floor. An undesired result, but not unexpected. They were showing signs last inspection (two years ago) and these winters take their toll. Was planning to replace them this summer anyway, was just hoping to be able to do it at my leisure and maybe do some of the welding myself, and be able to save up some money for a few months. Anyway, I know a few body guys, so I'm hoping I won't have to pay out the wazoo for labor, but I'd like to purchase the floor pans and rockers myself, then replace everything rather than patching. I've seen a few links around here, but I'm not sure what's "best". I saw a complete floor (including the tranny tunnel), to me this seems "best" but is there a specific pan for the MJ or do you need to get the XJ pan and cut it down in the back where appropriate? Is this the route you would take, or buy the separate driver and passenger side pans (I'm thinking the whole pan because the metal flexes a lot where the 4x4 shifter mounts, to the point that I have trouble shifting because it bends so much). Anything I should know about rockers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm also gonna have to get mine done. I need front and rear pans for both sides. Ill probally buy the XJ pans either from C2C or teamcherokee and just pay to have the work done after I strip the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepcoma Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Too disgusted at the moment to take some pictures, will try to get some tomorrow during the daylight. The floors are too bad, the carpet does a pretty good job holding it together still. The rockers though :ack: look like they were attacked by a blind man with bondo. Those are the pans/rockers I was looking at from c2c, I priced out: CLASSIC 2 CURRENT Part # 0704402 RH; FRONT FLOOR PAN COMANCHE 1986-92 CLASSIC 2 CURRENT Part # 0704401 LH; FRONT FLOOR PAN COMANCHE 1986-92 $43 each CLASSIC 2 CURRENT Part # 0700202 RH; OUTER ROCKER PANEL CLASSIC 2 CURRENT Part # 0700201 LH; OUTER ROCKER PANEL $17 each They also offer "rear floor" pans too, is that even true for the MJ or is it XJ only (even though listed for an MJ)? It's listed as cross-referenced with the Cherokee so I think it's for those and you'd cut the rear part off to fit the JM. Or, is there some critical metal part I need from the rear pans that forms the end of the cab or something? Or, maybe it's just from the middle of the bench seat to the rear? :dunno: Hard to tell "scale" from the pics. If I need the complete Front/Rear/Left/Right, is it best to get the whole left half/right half like this? Anyway, there used to be a source on Amazon.com that was linked in another thread that had the entire floor, one piece from door-to-door including the transmission tunnel, but it's not listed anymore. Anyone know if those are available from anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 These ones look nice but are pricey. http://www.teamcherokee.com/Body_Parts/index.html I think you do need the front and rear section even if its for the MJ. I don't think the front goes all the way back from some of the pics Ive seen of people who've used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I could not find a one piece pan for the MJ. So I went with C2C. The C2C front pan comes back to about the front seat mounts. The rear pan is designed for a Cherokee but is pretty close for the MJ. There are a few differences in the floor, like the dip for the seat belt mount isn't formed. Buy several of the spot weld drilling tools. Trust me. Those center braces are a pain to remove. The rockers are just a rocker skin. Seems like they will fit about perfect. I am having my body shop guy do the install. Hopefully he will be ready sooner than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
