Maybe mine is too. Every picture I see online, at Amazon, etc, there are only 3 cross bars in the front.

That is why I was thinking mine might be a Manik cause theirs have 4. But if you go to the site above and add it to your vehicle it shows this.

 

Thing I like about the Jeep Factory one is it serves as a one piece. The flaps that would expose your tie down are tight. Betting it would hold water just like my Rugged Ridge. Just the lighter color won't match the other Rugged Ridge ones. I know it sounds petty but would bug me.

 

I dyed the carpet in my jeep black and the front carpet took really well and is a nice dark black, but the cargo carpet must be slightly different because it didn't change color st all. I thought it would drive me crazy, with the back seat up I can't even tell and when I go to the trunk all of it back there is grey so I'm okay with it.

 

I would like to think the out of sight out of mind thing would work for me too. After awhile. Thinking it won't though. Just if I am not going to use it I will try and sell it. Thinking trying to get what I want won't work, trying to paint it, and make it unsellable. The plan before I found the mat, bought off of Ebay and was pretty sure I would not like it but had to see up close to be sure, was I want to do some sound deadening on the floor. Already did everywhere else. I figure I drill out the tie downs, pull the carpet, do what I want to do, put rivnuts in place of the rivets for the tie downs, make a small hole in my Rugged Ridge mat, and screw the tie downs in on top of the mat. This way it stays in one piece and should still hold water for the most part. Not like it gets wet back there but I bought the mats for a reason. What can I say. I want what I want. LOL.

 

Removed the driver seat, broke a floor bolt of removing seat but was able to vice grip it down and out. The seat was like sitting in a old broken down recliner, was hoping loose bolts, not. Removed the backrest then slid the bottom cushion away from the seat structure and I had three pieces in my floor. Was easy to see where things went back together so I clamped it back into align and got that mig welder going that I don't need very often but times like this makes it worth while. Together with a whole new feeling seat, springs on the bottom even got tight.
Then I went ahead and remover the brake master and tore it apart and cleaned the gunk out. Then I hooked up my mighty vac and got clear fluid and a firm pedal.
I have a question about the idler pulley for the belt. Has anyone pressed a new bearing into the pulley? I have looked at these type pulleys before and I have the exact bearing that I have spares of, I think I am going to try.

 

That headliner looks like an old Coleman innerds of a sleeping bag I used to have LOL

 

Duplicolor makes an interior paint in a spray can that you can use on carpet. I believe it's the same one that you can use on the seats and whatnot.

HAHA! I've seen those sleeping bags!

 

I don't care about that stuff anymore. Too much work. I just try to keep them running now. It's fine the way it is.

 

Haha looks very natural in the woods.

 

I liked the red seats with the headliner.

 

The guy had a set that were brown that would of been nice, but wanted much more. The grey looks nice, matches the interior panels

 

Got head

 

Oh man... That's purdy. Are those conical springs? Or just my eyes?

 

Bugout, put them glasses back on! They are straight as can be. Its all stock sadly. But everything is nice, new, shiny and should work just fine!

 

Lol... Optical illusion I guess. The first several from the left kind of looked conical but apparently it is the spring gap at the top creating an illusion. Lol
