More of the soundproofing was added inside the doors. We had discovered with Betsy that this helped tremendously to reduce passenger compartment noise.
|
More soundproofing around the trans tunnel and front floorpans.
|
Carpet padding was added to the rear cargo area. No, this is not automotive grade. For some odd reason it was not available in the local area and we tried everywhere. We gave up and used household grade. It may not last long, but this is a trail rig.
|
The cheap carpet looks ok once installed.
|
We carefully trimmed the rear cargo carpet around the wheel wells.
|
It was so much easier installing the carpet without the cap shell on.
|
The factory console had many scratches. Kurt repainted it hide all the blemishes and match the rest of the interior.
|
Once the cargo area side panels were scrubbed clean they looked fine. Trim screws had to be used to hold them securely in place.
|
The driver side cargo area panel almost good as new.
|
The driver seat has replacement foam and a new cover, though it doesn't match the original. Remember, it's a trail rig.
|
The cab headliner was removed and recovered.
|
The replacement cargo area headliner sits behind the recovered cab headliner. The original was delaminating due to the moisture, so we found one at the local pick-a-part salvage yard. Kurt hasn't decided on red or gray for it yet.
|
The cab headliner was reinstalled.
|
Once the carpet was in and all the side panels were back in, the seats were reinstalled.
|
The interior isn't bad looking, with the layers of dirt and grim removed.
|
After seeing all the red, Kurt decided to leave the cargo area headliner gray. We scored an undamaged and relatively clean one at the local pick-a-part salvage yard. We vacuumed it thoroughly before installation. The trim from the salvage yard was already gray, just scrubbed clean.
|
A rare option of the double visor was found during yet another trip to the local pick-a-part salvage yard. A bit of the red dye and these will fit in nicely.
|
Our son found an Eddie Bauer Bronco at a local pick-a-part salvage yard and brought it home. It will also be sprayed red.
|
While the direction and temp functions would have worked, the trip meter and distance to empty functions would not as they were not part of the '93 ECM. Since the replacement rear view mirror already had the direction and temp working, we decided not to hook up the computer. But the light and the sunglass holder will be nice to have. Eventually, the computer face may be replaced by additional accessory switches. As Kurt says, its a trail rig and you can never have too many accessory switches on a trail rig.
