I got off my butt today and got the rest of the interior swapped. It’s not something I want to do again. Removing the old carpet was the worst, and took about an hour. Infact the whole disassemble took twice as long as putting it back together. Here are the pictures of what I got done today. I still need to mount the piece for the rear cargo pocket.
I got the mounting plate to check for fit. I still need to pull it and drill holes for mounting a radio up there. I’m pushing for this small uniden CB I have, my girlfriend thinks I should put a 2 meter ham radio up there.
I had a hell of a time getting the old console out. I ended up just saying f*ck it and broke out the saw.
I discovered why my front seat seems to flex when I lean. The bolt is broken off flat with the floor.
This is the underside of the bolt. I figure a can of PB Blast, a pair of vice grips, & a trip to the junk yard should fix that.
Here’s the new carpet installed. I found out the flat bracket that holds duct work that goes through the console is cracked, so I need to snag one of those at the yard too.
Everything Installed
I had played with different ideas to mount my Mag Light, and finally settled on this. I’m very very happy with it.
Here is the full gallery of the interior swap. Today’s work starts on the bottom half of page 2.
