you could tear out the bad stuff and weld in new floorboards but thats a lot of work. how much of the floor is shot?

you could do that. Rust is a pain in the ass. Good luck with it.

hard to say without seeing it, but i think it would be easier to just patch it up

Careful here. Isn't the unibody unforgiving of "extra" holes in its structure?

True, if the "frame" is rusted out, if thats the case the best would prob be to get a new jeep or fing some frame sleaves. As long as its just sheet metal on the floors and you can do a decent job repairing you should be ok.
