I'm redoing my '83 and searching for a bed floor. Hard to find one that is not 700 dollars. Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
Classic enterprises if you want as close to oem as possible. It's shipping that adds up on their panel. Really nice to deal with though. Mine fit perfectly.
 
Can't say enough about their rear panel.
IF you don't want to go the original look, go with some steel diamondplate or something with indentions for rigidity.
Or, get a large flat sheet, some friends, and bead roller?

Finding a nice floor from an original tub is going to be next to impossible to find, unless you come across a wreck.

So the next best thing would be to get 2 CJ7 or YJ Wrangler (87-95) tubs and take the floors out of them and make one.

Good luck... I just ordered up a new rear floor for the custom bed I am making... figured it was 10 steps ahead for what I was trying to do and rolling my own was out of the question.

Make sure you compare the Classic Enterprise piece to an original floor. I used one, and one of the underside reinforcing channels was in the wrong location, so the body mounts did not line up correctly :shrug:

Of course, I did not discover this problem until after the piece was welded in and the whole Scrambler was repainted :woohoo:

I contacted them about this issue, never did get a response :confused::eek::angry:

Buyer beware :twocents:

That is a bummer... do you have a picture of the underside before hand? I assume it was the top one?

was curious as to where they put it and how far off was it?

So it was like an inch or so in the wrong place from what I can gather... that seems like they just measured wrong when laying the strip?

His stuff is off also.. gezzz

sent from my flaming samsung note7
 
Mine fit perfect, 100%. I meant to reference Spanks thread and his incorrect part and also that when I spoke to Lenny @ classic I mentioned that there was a member of CJ8 that had received an incorrect part and that I wanted reassurance that the issue had been corrected. He reiterated that the mistake had been recognized and corrected. Feel bad for Spanks that they didn't come back to him and close the loop so to speak
 
I should have my new one in a week or so, I can take measurements, etc. and compare.

I'm thinking about a aluminium diamond plate bed. Not only cheaper but it won't rust. I'm I wrong?

yes


Just funning with you a little bit. I assume you mean aluminum diamond plate if you think it won't rust. Maybe it's cheaper and maybe it will only corrode and not rust. But do you really want to treat a classic, somewhat rare & collectible Jeep that way?

I'm not crazy about diamond plate but replacing with the same old rustable sheet metal for double the price seems awkward.

Their are many ways to keep a bed floor from rusting. And other parts of your Jeep will rust just as easily as the floor. How about the rockers, inner fenders, cowl, windshield frame?
 
Oh I have some of that too but it's manageable. I get the classic remark also. I'm got the CJ8 at a good price but like all my other projects I get underwater. I can pickup the bed parts and save on shipping but didn't know if aluminium diamond plate was taboo which now I guess it is.
 
It took it how many unkept years to rust through? Preserve the new with cavity wax and proper installation and never look back
