Pulled the carpet and seats and scrubbed them clean with some magical mixture of purple power, industrial degreaser, and some other goodies. After the scrubbing, hit the carpet and seats with a pressure washer. They came so clean they're a different color now. Only down side was finding a rust hole in the passenger rear floorboard :crying: A wire wheel, some sanding, and some bondo set that straight tho. Wasn't able to let the seats and all dry completely tho, so they got a little mildew smell to them. Hoping a little lysol will take care of it, if not I guess I'll just be satisfied with stinky clean seats

And some after pics of the seats. They were so dirty I never even knew the stitching was blue and red. The seats were black on the fabric, and dirty enough that girls wouldnt wear white in my heep...
Also, heres my cb mounted. $40 cobra cb from walmart, held up with some strong double sided velcro on the front and velcro straps used for holding up wiring on the back. Tell me what you think lol

I have the same CB and used Velcro when i first had it too. The only thing wrong with it is that when my Jeep would heat up while i was at school it would fall off in the floor. I just took the bracket it comes with and put it on the passenger side of the tranny hump with some self taping screws. Holds tight and i ran the mic up the windshield and put the holder for the mic under the screw of the keyless entry ball thing on the roof, looks pretty tight

Today I'm building up a plate to cover my front crossmember just to smoothen things up so you don't see it behind the tubular bumper. Almost done cutting the plate now, pics to come !

After she was imprisoned for 3 long, lonely weeks at the local Shell, I FINALLY got Anya back, and immediately went to do SOMETHING to mod her...had been desperately missing the ability to work on her. So I did this ^_^ :

actually, i got a lucky find at the local junkyard. i found a work van with 3 of these things installed. I just grabbed all 3 and all the bolts, but ended up leaving 2 of them due to the price.

EDIT: ^what he said.
