Is it worth it?
I just bought an 86 Cherokee. I recently started to remove the
interior and carpet and discovered the front floor pans were shot as
well as two spots behind the front seats. How do I decide whether the
vehicle is worth repairing. It looks as though the whole underside is
fairly corroded. The engine is fairly new(2.5L)less than 25,000 mi on
a new long block. The body is in great shape. How long will this thing
last if I replace the floor pans? It runs great, has a three inch
lift, and near new 30x9.5 bfg all terrains on it. Is it worth it? What
axles does this thing have under it?
Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
Since your Jeep has a frame (i.e. it's not a unibody), you should be
able to take it to a welding shop and have them weld on new floor pans
for well under $200.

Re: Is it worth it?
How is an XJ not a unibody? This is an '86, thus not the full-sized
Cherokee, but the XJ Cherokee, which was a unibody construction for it's
entire production.
The FS Cherokee ended production in '83, the shorter XJ began production
in '84.
