So instead of replacing sections of the floor I just opt'd for the entire thing. The driver side front is bad enough to Flintstone it and the bolts for the seats had to be cut off because they were rusted into the floor, as are the sport bar bolts at the waterfall section where it meets the floor pan behind the front seats, so rather than deal with months of frustration and repair, I ordered the Keyparts fully weld floor and water fall sections. The rear pan where the back seat was, is perfect, even underneath the Jeep. Question is, have any of you guys went this route? I'm I missing anything that you can think of from the Waterfall section forward... this looks to be everything needed. I've hired a local body shop with an excellent reputation to install this stuff, I just don't have the tooling or the skill set for major body work. The waterfall section has arrived already, the fully welded floor will be here at the end of the month. I bought both from JEGS.

I'll get some as it goes off to the body shop after the first of the year so you guys can see its current state. Like I said, the floor won't be here until the end of the month and I have the waterfall section already.
 
Replacing my floor also and thought of using the full floor but decided against it. The reason being I am doing it all by myself, and that is going to be a large heavy piece. But the biggest reason is that it will be hard to keep the tub shape true when all of the floor is gone. Granted your shop will be much better prepared to handle that than I am. My center tunnel section is ok but everything else is practically gone. So I opted to buy each section separately and paying more overall but can do one section at a time. Also, I had to make a decision as to how far I wanted to keep going replacing everything that was not good, and using some rust converter on the less bad stuff and just making it work. Actually just got restarted on the body work yesterday after about 10 months of drive train and engine rebuild.
