now obviously since the unibody is apart of the floor... the floor got cut out too.. so time to make a new floor.. heres what i did..
i cut the floor all the way out to about an inch away from the rocker.. then i welded some 1"x1/8 wall angle iron to the rocker and what was left of the old floor.. this will give me a solid mounting surface to mount my floor to.. pics... enjoy...   folded up the floor pan on the sheet metal brake.. i am using 14G steel for the floor..

looking good, why not just build a buggy your 90% there. i wish i started as a buggy instead of chopping up a good YJ, but i understand.
keep up the good work. jason.

theres a guy in my local 4WD club thats the biggest prick in the world.. he hates cherokee's.. and i love them. i realize this is basically a buggy with a XJ tin all around it.. started as an XJ though.. we'll see where it ends up.. i slid the axles under it the other day just to get an idea of wheel base.. its lookin to be 110" with 39.5" tall tires.. to legit to quit =)
