I drilled 2" diameter holes in several places and left them open.

Makes hosing out the inside much easier.

I suppose I could leave them open. There's just so many! I can't see needing to drill anymore when I already have these holes.

Upper left of the floorpan, like this? There are round, and oval. Quadratec sells both. They sell the smaller ones, too.

Google Images - "Cherokee floorpan plug".

I may have a spare one as I think I ordered like a 3 pack when I did mine but they were like a plastic material. I'll give it to you just cover shipping cost. I'll look this weekend and see if I can find them.

Yes. On my 98 I removed them to grind out the rust surrounding them and fiberglassed over the holes in both front pans. Then I opened up holes in the fiberglass and installed the plugs I posted about a couple posts up.

Thanks I really appreciate the offer. I ghetto rigged mine and they are good for now. I used 3 inch rubber drain plugs
and seam sealed them in. I was just curious if anyone ran across rubber plugs bc I'm probably going to do a complete floor pan replacement in the future. The pans are all patched up for now but I'll see how it holds up. I was just thinking of welding a 3 inch disc over the hole and calling it a day

No worries, not a big deal. Pans are sealed for now so it's all good. Thanks
