not sure, I think it OEM. changing axle lube then I will be driving it.

 

Thanks

 

I started the interior, this is OverlandXJ's area, My wife has a huge industrial sewing machine so it's her project for the seats. she is replacing all the dingy cloth centers with camo, It looks easy watching her doit.

in progress.

 

hahaha man if i have a daughter, and with her first vehicle, im gonna be just like you man. shell be driving a lifted xj to school and attract all the jeep guys and we jeep guys are good people. my girl isnt a jeep girl but then again, i wouldnt want to date a jeep girl. it would be annoying always being in competition whos rig is better..hahaha

xj is lookin sick man!

 

Looks great! I'm really looking fwd to seeing this completed. The combination of the stock outers and camo accents where material lies is a fantastic idea! Your wife looks to be doing a great job.

I didnt realize this was for your daughter... major cool points for that. I'm about to start a ZJ build for my 15 year old daughter, she reminded me i built a Jeep for her older brother so i guess i was obligated.

I'm here when ya need input on the headliner etc, but i see you have talent... and no doubt could handle it. It really isnt too difficult.

Does the Jeep have a soundbar or overhead console?

Tip on the seat cushions. If the outer edges closest to doors are flattened down you can swap the seat cushions (bases) from pass side to drivers and vice versa. This will make the seats more comfortable as you'll now lean into the console.

 

oh man those seats are looking soo nice....does ur wife wanna make another set for me?? haha thats cool tho

 

Looking great, love the interior

 

Thx for the comps guys, but my wife gets the credit, I just turn wrenchs and pull material. Overland, I want to put in a sound bar, is that a stock option or did you fab that?
thx for the tip on the bases, never gave that a thought.
And yes since my wife just got layed off permenat after 22 years she is doing this on the side, she has several interior jobs lined up but the XJ is first. stay tuned.

 

Hey XJJeepthing did you go to the winterfest?

 

Soundbar is stock. I'll keep my eyes peeled for one.

You said you found thick material... where? Is it canvas or backed?

 

Ha Ha yea I caught it also about 5 months ago...Tj

Now Ya'll "Understand" the Jeep thing.

TrekkerJmm, you surf fish? I have been wanting to give it a try for a long time now.
