A few people have linked Sherman's site. No firsthand experience with their floor pans, but it's probably where i'm going to end up getting my replacements. I'm a little concerned that they list their full length floor pan for the cherokee/wagoneer/comanche; i though that the cherokee floorboard was not the same as ours.

I think I remember from a previous thread that you have to be real specific when ordering to thell them it's for a Comanche. But even still it might be a "universal" pan as I recall that same thread somebody else said it was not a perfect fit but with a little hammering and such was pretty good.

 

JeepDew, please keep us posted with what you find, especially if you do use Sherman's, as I will be doing my pass. side this summer.

I bought my replacement front fenders from Sherman's and was pleased with them. I plan to buy my replacement floorpans from them soon... it's one of my summer projects when the weather gets nice this year :brows:

 

I'm not sure about the fit either, anyone with any expeience with this? I'd like to hear what they came up with too.

XJ and MJ floors are slightly different. Sherman's has the XJ pans, which will require a little modification to make work.

 

I have no experience with Sherman's...this is just what I've read.

I used the Sherman pans on my MJ. They are pretty close but not perfect. They will need some "adjustment" to fit.

[WahooSteeler]

Are you specifically referring to floorpans?

[Carl'sMJ]

I see on the site that there is a front section and a rear section... Do we need both for the Comanche or just the front?

[Limeyjeeper]

Just the front should work.

Just for clarification I used Sherman part No's 075-40L and 075-40R

did you take any pics when you did the work? :popcorn:

[Limeyjeeper]

Yes I will get them up in a day or two, I am in Europe right now, back home on Wednesday evening. Thank god.

A few pics. If you look at this link you will see a complete writeup of a floor replacement,

Just bought a set off ebay. I will do a test fit today or tomorrow and send some pics out. I think they match up OK but you can't go past the drivers seat front with them (at least not without some mods)

I was watching those on ebay. Thinking hard on bidding on them.

 

Definately interested in results of the test fit.

[WahooSteeler]

are they sherman's or another brand?

[djag12]

ok. I will post some pics of the floorpans from ebay.......they worked well for me......but I wasn't looking for perfection. Only have drivers side test fitted/cut.............didn't have to do too much to get them to fit.

[djag12]

OK. Here are some pics. Please no making fun of my work, as I have no clue what I am doing. Plus it is not done. It's just a test fit. I am not finished cutting all the rust out.

[djag12]

Ok now that I have a pic up I need to ask a question. The right side of the frame rail has two BUMPS (for lack of a better word). I think they were old welds from the PO who attempted to patch the floor. Is there any way to get rid of them? I am in the process of grinding them but it seems like it is taking forever. If I don't get rid of them the floor pan will sit off the frame rail and I don't think that's a good idea.. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Diane

You are going to have to grind them or use a cutoff wheel, plama torch, or oxy fuel burning (not recommended do to post clean up and heat distortion).

 

Try using the outer part of the grinding wheel. The grinding wheels tend to cut more like that. Also grinding with the bottom part (underside) tends to cause you grinding wheels to come apart when they get weell used :brows:
