    Interior is definetly the worst part about this thing . It just smells so bad and is stained from when it was used on the farm .Ive heard of people using tj seats, but I wasn’t sure how it would look. I’d also like to swap the carpet to black . Can’t find it anywhere for less than 250.

    Back story: at the beginning of summer me and my best friend decided to take a bone stock 01 Silverado that sat behind my building for years and turn it into a mud bogger for Yankee lake . After many trips there and seeing so many cherokees I decided I needed one . Next time I went my buddy...
