Replacing Floor Pans in the Comanche
Рет қаралды 69,131
Күн бұрынIn this video lets start replacing the floor pans in the pos Comanche entitled the Bleepinjeep Comancheep Project... It'll be fun they said! The floor pans or floor boards were completely rusted out in this thing and both sides needed to be completely gutted and replaced. In this video I hope by the end of it you will have a good idea of the work involved to make this happen. But I cant finish welding in the new pans until I get the motor and transfer case in place as the floor boards will need to be modified still.

Air chisel dude. I got my floor pans from a Cherokee. Started by removing that brace above the floor pan. Drilled out the remaining spot welds, then cut my floor pans to fit, took some Aleve, cleaned off the rust, treated the floor with rust preventative, took some Aleve, welded everything back, used sand bags and free weights to hold everything down while standing on my head and contorting my back out of place, took some Aleve, sprayed etching primer, enamel paint on top and undercoating on the bottom... It was easy. Only took me about 12 hours to do, per side. Yeah, Aleve worked well for my back too.

Follow the rust up the drivers foot-well and I guarantee it stops at the clutch master cylinder. The single most common leak on these trucks. The fluid leaks down and rusts everything as well as destroys the fuse box that sits up under there too.

Easiest way of dealing with spot welds. Air hammer with chisel attachment, just separate the sandwiched pieces a bit away from the weld, put your chisel in there and go to work. Prices vary depending on the brand and quality, but you can find some for as low as $50.

I replaced front to back floor pans on my 91 Cherokee. It sucked balls. But it was fun. BleepinJeep...Matt you should look into using Chassis Saver to prevent rust and then use Monstaliner to bed line the inside. The stuff is amazing. It comes from a company called Magnet Paints.

When I replaced the floor pans in my cherokee I had the same problem where my pans didn’t touch the unibody frame. I made the same relief cuts but also made a u out of scrap and it went around the frame rail and I tacked the ends to the pan and drove a wedge between the u and the frame rail pulling the pan firmly down to the rail. I tacked the pan to the rail and broke the tacks holding the fit up u and repositioned it wherever it needed to be pulled down. Good luck. It’s time consuming and it’s a dirty nasty job.

The cherokee doesn't have the top piece of the unibody. When I replaced mine with 14g I was able to go over the bottom piece of the unibody structure and never had the top piece. If your plating the lower unibody than the floors by themselves will be sufficient.

BleepinJeep the unibody is spot welded, but I was referring to the sides where you can see the layers. So welding the floorpan to interior and underbody frame supports. Heard of people doing it for a little more rigidity, not Sure if it's worth it for you since you're going to cage it anyways. Just a thought.
