So today I kinda fell into a project, I was vaccuming out the inside of my 92' cherokee ( it hadnt been done in years) and those of us in the PNW know how much a *#&^ pine needles are, any way trash seems to accumulate under the back seat so I went to vaccum it all up when I saw a bit of rust. I decided to pull up the upholstery from below the back seat back. In he rear of the jeep those metal rails were all pulling up anyway so I wanted to aswell. there were many rust spots everywhere. nothing close to eating through the metal. I then took out my back rest, sanded it all down and gave it a couple coats of rustoleum flat black. I kind of like the look of a metal bed over the old carpet. i know for sure that the front of my cab has seen much more water than the rear (Wheeling, working at a ski resort with snowy boots and so on. next week Im planing to take out m drver and pasenger seat and ripping out all of the old carpet too. and then give it coats with rustoleum flat black and let it air out. I already have big after market floor mats so im not concerned. and Im planning on getting one of those BIG ones for the far rear. has anyone tackled anything like this? plus it gets all of that carpet out of the way for a roll cage!!!

 

cool, i already ripped all my carpet out and herculined the whole thing, worked great!

 

nice how much did that cost?
are there any major wires that I may encounter under the upholstery in the front of the cab, there was one just for a little ways under the rear seat driver side

 

it turned out great! i use a water hose to clean it out now haha, well i bought the gallon and roller and stuff for $100 but i only used half the gallon for the whole thing and thats including my bumpers too, i got it at autozone, you can get smaller cans of it you wont use the whole gallon

 

oh and really no wires to encounter

 

Nice I didnt know that you could buy it and do it yourself, is it nasty smelling (take a while to air out?) good to know about how much under one gallon covered. did you drill drain holes in your cab and fabrate plugs to drain it after you waer it down?

 

yeah its pretty easy, it smelled for a couple of hours then it aired out, i used right at 1/2 gallon on the whole inside, thats puttin 2 coats on it, but only one coat on front and rear bumpers

 

sweet man well thanks for tht input man Im deffintly going to consider doing that!

 

yeah it works really well and mine came with drain plugs, 4 in all, check and see if you have any

 

stock already in the uni body? no way what year is yours? I didnt see any in the far back and under the rear seat. havent torn out the passenger area and front wells but I guess thats where they would be, thats the lowest spots

 

yeah stock, i have a 1999 classic, they are in the front and back driver and passenger side floor boards
