I watched the video with the cleanout, seems Jeep floorboards rust if you look at them wrong. What's the plan on filling the hole in?

Rojo, in that video he found a replacement floor pan. I think he said that metal block looking thing that goes between the seat area and side panel had to be removed to put it in though...right before he was talking about doing the side panel.

Like our man Dean mentioned, it came with a replacement floorboard. Just have to clean out all the rust and weld her in. You can literally buy anything for these Jeeps. They say you can build a new one from scratch just from auto store parts! lol

And generally, Florida Jeeps don't rust from salt, they rust from leaks. They leak water into their interiors, the water soaks the carpet and sits there forever until its rusts through. Kinda like foam in a boat I know, soaks up water and rots out it's stringers, right! lol

And I'm contemplating not welding the new jeep floorboard in, I may do something crazy like rivet and glue! I can weld, but I don't like how welding creates deep bare metal in crevasse's which are not easily treated/painted.

Lots of people in Florida drive them on the beach and even in the water along the beach, so be aware of that.
As for attaching the new floor panels, try 5200, works great.
But you need to allow time for it to cure.
