BUILD: My 1987 "Wagoneer" XJ Limited

Re: Seat-belts

Interesting observation and response to it... Understood.

I was able to score a almost perfect condition '98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 tire cover. $30 shipped from Colorado to New England. Most people won't notice it or even know what it is. Every time I am doing something in my cargo area and look at it I can feel a small grin come across my face. Just makes me happy. Can't explain why. After all it is just a tire cover. Again thanks for the links. Picking up some 16" Icons for my '00 and was thinking I would get them done. PA is a little far but if I have trouble finding somebody in my area at least it is an option.
 
Door-panels are back!

Door-panels are back from the upholsterer:

Re: Not for the purest...

If you're a purest... Skip this update! lol

The cargo-strips are ready to re-install... But how to-do?

When I had the chrome polished... I had three holes punched in each piece.

My plan, although not tested, is to lay a piece of Masonite under the carpet and attached the cargo-strips to it.

Stay-tuned!

Lined-up one row and the others laid out nicely:

Re: Door-panels are back!

I wonder if they can replace the cardboard backing as well as fabric?

Mine need both.

Good point... The shop did make-up new back-boards. I usually don't post costs... But these were too inexpensive not to share. $150.00 for all four panels. I thought a bargain!
 
Sweet!!!! I need just 1-2, that rotted from window seals leaking rain at the wing windows on the front doors.

I am still looking for a 1-2 OEM door speakers still as well.

That is a bargain.

Thank you for mentioning that.

I have no doubt many of your costs would be mind-boggling to some of us.
 
Rear Cargo-are Store-bin

Was a concept... Now done:

Door-hinged and turn-lock/catch. Door/panel covered with http://americanfoamco.com/product/ez-flex-i-ii/

I used the same NOS fabric from the door-panels on the top-sill of the side cargo-panels - Foam under fabric to add depth.

Rear Cargo Completed

Cargo-strips attached. Cargo-hooks installed. Cargo-net installed. Cargo-cover installed. Spare-tire cover... Almost installed... Needs to sit in the sun when the weather warms up to stretch better over the tire. E-Z Flex carpet covering the sill.

No speakers om the rear doors. They were only on the gate ,front doors, and uplevel had dash speakers.

Lift-gate Interior Panel

This is a do-over of the first panel...

Stock:
27400140_10212782424610271_240368659_n_zpswa4x9qzq.png

I made a 3/8" wood frame to fit inside the blue-lines. Which allowed me to remove those two weird tail-ends at the top. Then had a straight-edge instead of the rounded-edge to butt the new carpet up to.


New Panel:


IMG_1220_zpsbt4ncltl.jpg

Replaced speaker-grates to match front-door speaker-grates; Re-painted to match interior color.

Flex-carpet wrapped around and under the edges. Standard-carpet in the center. FYI: I used 3M-tape to adhere materials to the plastic.

NOS fabric across the top; Vinyl-edging to match.

From experience... I find the plastic-clip hold-downs hard to work with. Therefore, I replaced them with screws/finishing-washers.

IMG_1228_zpskoqxpn9d.jpg

New "JENSEN" tags... I sent a sample to an online merchant who re-created them for me.

Hardware: Screws, "JENSEN" tags. And the plugs I inserted into the holes in the lift-gate to secure the screws.
 
Just curious why you're adding the extra carpet to the trim? Just like it that way?

Yes. :yap: It's part of covering all the (ugly:)nosmile:)) plastic.
