New Flooring

[bmcgc]

The guy in the video is a liar. This is not a 20 minute job. Leaving the seats in on the front? Maybe if your arms are 6 feet long and you are double jointed, otherwise, they need to come out.

All the rear seat bolts are stripped, and the PO used whatever bolts he had in the garage to bolt the seats in.

One of the fronts is stripped out and another one is iffy. The rear seat bolts are easy enough, not sure what I will have to do to replace the front bolts.

I did the rear Bedrug yesterday. It fit nicely with minimal trimming. I laid down a 1/4" non-slip rug pad under the bottom piece since I did not cut out for the tiedowns.

I put down Kilmat on the toe boards and hump, then a thin piece of foil backed butyl to seal the seams. It started raining so I had to quit today, I need the Jeep drivable tomorrow, so I will finish up Friday.

The Bedtred will need some trimming and a heat gun to get a proper fit. I am disappointed in the Bedtred. It should come up on the sides so it acts as a floor liner. Dirt will find a way under it and it is a PITA to install/uninstall to clean under it.

When I did mine I pulled my emergency brake handle and cleaned up all the corrosion on the bracket and painted it flat black.

It takes me 20 minutes to get the nerve to get started-

To really do a thorough job takes longer and the anti-resonation mat you used is worth doing.

Finally done. I replaced all the seat bolts with the proper size and hardness bolts, two of them now have a nut. I was able to clean up the threads on the 7/16 bolt holes and get those to torque down. Luckioly there is an ACE Hardware down the street with a good bolt selection.

BedTred in the front, BedRug in the rear, for my pups.

The BedTred does not impress. I had to do a lot of trimming and work it with the heat gun. I am still not satisfied with how it lays on the hump. It interferes with the gas pedal. I have a large black fender washer and may end up drilling a hole in the hump near the gas pedal and sucking it down against the hump that way.

I refreshed the console as well. the only bolt holding it in was the one under the shift bezel. I used SEM 15173. It looks more butterscotch than tan to me, especially next to the rest of the sun faded interior, but I am happy with it. I still need to rehab the lid, bezel and airbag panel.

Back to the radio install tomorrow.

Did bolting the passenger seat to the floor fix your issues with it?

That's why I prefer the ease of removing/installing the stock carpet. I pull it out at the car wash to spray the mud off of it. Simple install too.

The threads on the two front m8 bolts were pretty worn on both seats, so I replaced those. How those bolts got worn threads, I have no idea. The rear m8 bolt hole on both sides was just a hole in the floor, no threaded insert at all. I put 3/8-16 in those holes. The 7/16 holes had the inserts, i ran a tap down them and they seem ok.

The back of both seats still has some movement. I'm guessing there is a bushing in there that is worn. The seat bases are solid with very little movement.

I just bedlined my floor and everything in white to match the exterior and left my carpet out. Now, it is just spray and rinse. It looks nice with the tan plastic Jeep floor mats.
