is there a proper way to Gut it out? Im pulling the interior out since its no longer a street friendly ride.
Later on im going with a roll cage and some other goodies too.

Thanks
Mark
 
What exactly are you looking for? Pull the seats, plastics, and yank the carpet. Shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes with a couple sockets, torx, and a screwdriver.
 
never did it.. just wondering if theres stuff i need to watch out for.. is all :)
 
look into the herculiner kits for the floor.... theyre only about 80 bucks and really help out with the wildly uncomfortable heat in the summer


oh yeah and the bender is going together in the next two weeks bring it up here when your ready to cage it
 
Front cab mostly enclosed. tube up the front cab like a TJ.. down through dash and up around the back.. bar accross window and bar behind seats for when i swap out seats to a racing seat.. Then tubes to the rear all way to lights area..
Sounds costly.. but i want something safe for when i roll down a hill im safe. lol

I want to put a box behind the seats and a place to carry a fullsize spare.
I was looking at those Tail Gate spare tire carriers they make for trucks..
No back trunk lid, lights recessed. No turn signal lights..just brake lights.
Doors will be cut from top to middle. Basically a door without a window.
I was thinking of gutting the doors too. lighten up the load as well.
Rear doors..replace the windows with a racing mesh or even a wire mesh.
No carpeting.. no foam. no bench seat.

Lennie is building me frame stiffeners and sliders for both mine and dawns..

its a work in progress..by the time i do get a trailer.. i ll have a bad ass rig like your waggy was! lol

not costly.... are you wanting it all internal or hybrid interior/exterior?
 
just internal.. xj's are a dime a dozen in the JY.. it already had a tree fall on it.. lol
replaced Hood and Grill and Header panel.. a pretty White .. Need to roll some Avon back on her!
 
What kinda Seats should i get? i was thinking of some Baja Recaro seats.. i found em for $180... 4x4rockshop
 
Wow what a crappy job to pull out that interior! That foam was old and stunk! found some rust spots by rear seat where the jack sits.
The insulator foam at the roof was crumbling at touch!
The rear carpet had a smell as if someone dumped oil all over it.. YUK!

the front will be an other day..

Fun Fun Fun!
 
Andy you leaving your back "trunk"? or taking it out?
