Question for TJ owners

This is in regard to the rear floorboard drain plugs. When i lined the jeep with herculiner i was kind of in a hurry and may have covered them. I now need another coat so i plan on grinding down the rear floorboards to try and find them. I have a 98, but i looked on the rear floorboard and didnt find the outline of a round plug like the ones up front. Are they different back there? I crawled under the jeep and saw something that looked sort of like a plug but had metal tabs (sort of like it snaps down?) are these the plugs? If not, could it be that my year doesnt have any? I'd like to have some back there cause it would make a world of difference when i hose out the interior and not cause me to look for an incline and back up it and push all the water forward...

You have 4 up front? I only have 2. One round, rubber plug on the passanger and driver floor board. Now as for the back seat floor board, i cannot find any round plugs. If they are oblong, are they also rubber? Cause when i crawled under and looked up i saw an oval plug of sorts with metal tabs/snaps sticking out. I'd love a pic if ya got a min in the morning. Thanks.

turns out my year is different from later models. I have a metal oval tab "cover" in the rear passenger floorboards rather than the larger round rubber plug found in the fwd passenger/driver floorboards. I decided to go ahead and reline over it because the thin metal tabs that bend/snap in the hole to hold it in seem like they could break after a few removals. I'd like to see if i can order a pair of the front plugs and drill two holes in the rear floorboard so it will basically be like the front ones.
