Hahaha me too actually it was today at Pepboys and then I decided I like the actually metal idea that way I can just wipe it down and it wouldn't stain like the rubber or foam might.

 

Pulled my carpets today so that I could prep the floors for the Herculiner. I also pulled the padding off of the carpeting too so that it will dry faster. Once I put down a good coat of Herc I'll be getting FatMat sound deadening sheets to put down on the floors for sound insulation.

Here's what the driver's side padding looked like. The part that's all brown is soaked.



Driver's side floor pan had some rust on it. Only had two small quarter sized holes in it. Not too bad considering all the NJ salt on the roads for 12 winters.



Everything else looked pretty good though.







The foil stuff was pretty tough to get off, but a putty knife made quick work of it. After all the foil was off the sticky backing was still on the floors so I used some Goo-Gone and it broke it down so that I was able to just scarp it with a putty knife and then wipe it down.



Forgot to get a picture of the prep work and floor patch before it got dark so I'll get that tomorrow before I lay down the Herculiner in the morning.

 

So the first coat is down and now I have to wait 4 hours before the next coat.









All uploaded from my garage office lol



I'll follow up tomorrow with the interior reinstalled.

 

Please forgive me if I've asked you this. I asked somebody with the same rack since I've been looking at it myself, but I can't remember what thread it was that I posted it in. Anyways do you think a highlift would mount to the outside of your rack? I'd like to mount mine there but wasn't sure since this rack is a little lower profile than the others if it would. Thanks!

 

Don't think you asked me before, but yes it should be no problem. Hi-lift makes a rack hanger for 1"-2" tubing that should work with no problems.

 

Sweet thanks man!

 

Any time!

 

Ryan- still up for tomorrow? went there today just to look around and saw a tj, waggy and 2 cjs, weirddd

 

Hahaha that is weird. I'm still down just gotta put the driver's seat in tomorrow morning so I can get there

 

Finished up the second coat on the floors yesterday and got the interior reinstalled this morning. Now I can't get it to start Guess I shouldn't have used the stereo for three days straight without starting it

 

LOL thats funny, rockin out to the tunes and killed the battery. At least its an easy fix. Great job on the build man.

 

Thanks! Live and learn lol

 

You didn't put the carpet back in did you? Now quit mall crawling and get out there. :P

 

Nope, still trying to get it clean and just make it drop in carpet so I can pull it out easily for wheeling. Hoping to get on the beach with it soon.

 

Yeah I want to do it but leave the carpet out. I wish I lived near a beach. humm. maybe its time for a move.
