Just a FYI. Most of these auto replacement sheet metal pieces are from worn out dies that have been disposed of by the manufacturer and bought by asian companies, and that is why there is always small alignment issues. Fenders are the worse because not many align with the bolt holes.
Can the old panel be cut out a bit smaller and then lap joint weld the new panel over that or is that a big no no? It seems like it would be easier to weld that way and fitment would be easier too. No one will see it anyway once it's painted with carpet and floor mats over. This is a great video, and I will be doing mine soon too. Thanks!
Great video ! Your seam seal job on the passenger side looked a lot better than the driver's side. I'm guessing you were ready to be done with it by the time you did the driver's side. LOL
Awesome Videos! Just bought my old 91 YJ back after selling it 5 years ago, this is one of many things I need to do. Thank you for posting this and giving all of us and I confidence to tackle the project. Much love!!
@jrmatter74 yes i have done a few youtube videos with the jeep if you would like to check them out. Mostly offroading but have done a lot of off camera maintenance over the last 10 months
Thanks for a great "how to" video. I will be searching for a MIG welder in the future. Just wondering what vendor you got the replacement floor pans from? Carry On.
Nice job. I don’t envy you. I grew up on the East coast where the winters eat cars lol. I once did the pans in my 72 Beetle parked out at the curb. I still have nightmares over it 😂. FWIW those supports under the pans are called torque boxes. Congrats on completing the project.
I just bought my first Jeep, a YJ, on the cheap. Floor pan replacement is one of many projects. I attend YT university often as I do most everything around home and shop myself BUT this is the FIRST TIME I have ever sat through an entire 1 hr video. Great job holding my attention and staying informative. Thanks!
Love your videos! Very well explained and wonderful words of encouragement! You know how to get things done. This video helped me gain the confidence to do my floors> Wish me luck!
Thank you! I agree I’m not racing to get anything done. I’d rather include content in case someone cares to see it. If not just move on to the next video.
Let me guess - retired state union employee ? Two speeds - slow and dead stop - this vid should be 6.25 minutes - spice it up - this ain’t no clam bake.
