Time to raid a '99 at the junkyard. My 89 has metal ones with 4 clip-on ears. Ones missing under the rear seat.
All total there are 6 plugs. 2 in front of front seats, 2 in fron of rear seats, and two small ones under the rear seat.

found these rubber ones in my '96
There's 2 under the front seats, 2 under the rear seat, 4 in the cargo area, and 2 down at the bottom of the rear fender wells.
Incidentally, all of them are the size of the "little" ones nevada found under the rear seat. 1.125" diameter. My '96 has factory plugs and seam sealer where the "large" plugs used to be.

Having thoroughly flooded the interior of my Jeep last year, here is what I did.
First of all the 2 drain plugs in the rear cargo area nearest to the hatch are worthless. Why they put them there is beyond me. I removed those two and patched the holes. I then drilled new holes in the driver and passenger footwells for these 2 plugs (in an out of way spot of course). Then I drilled 2 smaller 1/2" holes in the small cargo space under the rear bench seat. Trust me, a lot of water collects there, or "migrates" to that area after you flood the interior. I used 1/2" "bailor" plugs from WalMart found in the boating supply isle.
The interior floor was then Herculined and carpet was put back but trimmed into smaller sections that could be removed next time without having to take out the seats or center console, etc.

WARNING - expect Herculiner to outgas for at least a month - and those fumes can KNOCK YOU OUT.
If possible, let the stuff cure in the garage, and then drive something else for a month or so while the vehicle "finish cures" in the sunlight. Leave the windows down about 2" so it can vent, and take the time to open the doors (probably every other day or so) and direct a fan into it to "change the air."
I haven't done this yet, but I've talked to people who have, and it's a very valid concern...

"I got Herculiner on my hootus!"
Granted, it was on a Ford Exploder board (IIRC,) and we all know how those Ford guys are...
I don't trust a Ford I didn't build.

I got Herculiner on my hands when I did the interior of my XJ, and it wasn't so bad. The rubber particles come off easily, but the paint stains your hands black. I washed and washed and washed to no avail. But it actually comes off fairly easily if you dunk your hands with acetone and thoroughlyscrub it. (Not that I'd recommend scrubbing your hootus with acetone :shocked: ).TiRod said:
