finaly got an XJ 99 limited with some stuff

It looks worse than it actually is, the front pieces go up inside a pocket of the bumper and the rear jackstands are on top of 4x4s that are screwed together and have a 2x4 at each end to tie them together with long screws. Engine and trans are well forward of the rear jack stands as well. I gave it a damn good shaking before pulling the rear axle, it felt pretty solid.
The rear bumper looks like it had been torn off the jeep before so I didn't support it by the bumper.
 
The bumper isn't bad. The nuts welded in by the factory were mostly torn out.
 
That's a pretty weak area from the factory... I had some issues with it when I fixed my old 96's frame rust problem.
 
Think I gave Adam 200 for it like 3 years ago. So he's in the ballpark.
 
Rained a lot a few weeks ago and my door seal isn't great on the pass side so it filled with water. Pulled the front carpet out and will pull the rear after work today. Let it air out, grind some rust and paint.

Some rust but no major rot, starting to however. Wire wheel and a lot of paint will fix this.

My brother spent all day Sunday replacing his floor, god damn 96 and under rot buckets.

You can get that seat mounting bracket that goes over the floor pan for like $19 online. If you want the part number I can scrounge it up.

I would recommend flushing any/everything out from under it and then spraying everything nearby with rust converter paint on yours if you aren't planning on pulling it, gotta love how car cancer gets in between sheetmetal spotweld seams and then festers.
 
Mine is the bluish one and doesn't need floors, just a wire wheel and good paint.

Alex22 is the one with the Red rotted out XJ. He has a few pieces of 18ga he's cutting and rolling to fit.
