Hope I don't step on anyone's toes here, but let's get a July TOTM started...

What custom mods have you done to your interior? Where did you get your parts? Share some restoration techniques, etc...

Thanks,

jeremy,
this is what i did with the interior of my j10. added procomp seats and clutter catcher center console. the po install the inside aluminum(?) door panels.

[Allen78J20]

Wow I like those seats! And now I know where to mount a fire extinguisher! Good idea! Ive added a 89 GW overhead console and a 70 Super Waggy floor console into my J20.

So far I have 2000 Neon seats, clutter catcher, spray vinyl painted my visors black, and have torn out the carpet.

I plan on replacing the door panels with some soft vinyl, and carpet from BJs. I also plan on making removeable floor mats from BJs 3ftX6ft. pieces, all throughout the interior. I've removed the headliner and am currently trying to see how I can keep it removed, but make it more aesthetically pleasing. I also plan on spraying the dashboard black (turning the jeep into the laredo cream color/black paint scheme never found anywhere).

I'll have pictures when some significant progress has been made that I like.

thanks allen. i was worried that i might keep accidently kicking the fire extinguisher as i got in or out of the truck. but, i haven't had any skirmishes between it and my feet as so far.

i mounted my fire extinguisher on the passenger side kick panel..they're too busy holding on for dear life to worry about kicking it.

I like the look of the aluminum door panels, but are they noisy???

If I was to build my own door panels and cover them in vinyl or a synthetic leather (to match the leather adjustable seats from a newer model), what kind of material should I start off with? What kind of glues do you use?

[J10Mike]

keej,
yes, they are noisy. i was just thinking recently about putting something thin under the panels to quiet them down.

[Tad]

Well I got 6x9's into my front doors.

Since I never had anything to start with it was pretty east to do using this panel I CNC plasma cut.

I also designed a 3 guage panel for the dash that fits in place of the radio but that was a bear to install so I never tried to do it again.

since for some reason I can no longer view or logon to fsjworld take a look and see what ya like. I on the other hand would like to use a material that would not be damaged by moisture to be used for door panels myself, any ideas anyone?

What about changing the color of the dash and plastic pieces? Any suggestions?

[75wag401]

ive got a hurst pistol grip 2 shifter, no middle console, msd offroad mounted on the pan(over the tranny),tach mounted next to it, and fire extiguisher right the shifter. I used to have the tach up in the left corner of my windshield, which was cool, but the visor kinda got in the way, but it looked good. but as usual, I ain't got no pics yet. still tryin to get it runnin, and runnin right

Jim:

That is sorta the set-up I'm thinking about in my '85 GW. Have the ashtray first and then the radio. Planning on taking them out for gauges. What are the four you have added? What did you use for a panel? Looks like it is just held by screws.
