Default My second love, Hayley

ok so here's the story about 2 weeks ago i bought a red 2 door jeep Cherokee sport 2wd(i know). shes my first jeep and i bought her with the intention of a DD and i had some thoughts of a couple of upgrades and mods but i was hit with the bug(i think i got it from one of guys )

this is what she looked like the day i got her





she wasn't the prettiest but i she was in pretty good shape i got her with 144k

she had a problem with the hatch not staying up so i took a trip to autozone and bought some after market lift supports

now i can work with out having to hold up the hatch



Thanks

i added some cheap trapezoidal lights for a little better night vision



I'm a high school student with a more than limited budget so posts might be few and far apart.

i started with something that would not required much money so i went ahead and started working on the headliner, it is coming of and the padding was crumbling. I took off the rear over head speaker fiber glass thing and hit it with a hose then sanded and scraped what seems to be the POs attempt to fix it with hot glue(in Florida)



tomorrow i am going to take a trip to AutoZone and buy some spray on bed liner

Thanks

I finished the sound bar, i scraped the **** out of it and gave it a coat of bed liner waited 20 minutes and repeated 5 times

I'm about to do my headliner as well. What i've heard is that for the main piece, you just scrape off all the foam, give it a good sanding, and then start spraying the glue. The pre-existing glue on the board is nearly impossible to get off.
