twin their new life - 1984 fleet vehicles

I finally got around to clean up the interior floor …. now that its warm outside I started scraping, wire brushing and removing the old undercoating that Capital Auto put in the drivers cockpit

 
washing out the slate dust and grease that protected the metal very effectively

 
I was able to get all the loose bits off the metal and the floor is in very good shape for being a pennsylvania jeep ….. not ever being around salt winter road treatment really saved these twins from metal rot ….

only a few tiny areas needed attention around the foot pedal area

 
I didnt take videos or pictures of the metal prep only the before and after of the interior

yes I used bed liner paint to reprotect the interior flooring. I thought about also lining the rear bed but decided not to, since its in incredible shape, the paint is fine in the rear bed

looks decent for a survivor type jeep. Capital Auto really splattered the black undercoating everywhere, i guess they didnt care about it. i had to follow suit and brush the white up into odd areas by the heater core so at least it was white again.

the faded olympic white looked out of place compared to the brite white of the paint, so I toned down the brightness some so it is now more of a creamy color instead

finally new goodyears installed

also cleaned up a ton of loose wires and decided not to run the very heavy front bumper assembly. The little 4cyl runs so much nicer lean and clean
 
new crown easy ride leafs installed …. custom 2ton rear leafs removed, new oem front rear replaced the old ones, wow what a difference
