So, I started the prep work for the Herculining.

[miljeep]

Today I ripped out the carpet and with the help of some kind folks here, removed the rear and passenger seats. I also disconnected the rear seat belts and then stared at the jeep for about 2 hours wondering what I go myself into.

This week I will do all the prep work and hopefully have some anchor points welded in the rear of the jeep. I should be herculining the jeep this coming weekend.

I have been thinking of doing this to my YJ. How are you going to apply it Spray it, roller it, or brush it? I had Line X spray a bedliner in my pickup and it turned out nice but they want $550 to do the inside of my YJ and thats with me removing everything. I thought that was too high.

I may be able to swing by during the week Miljeep, I'd be glad to give a hand...

Keep your floor mats I lost mine and my feet ended up wearing through the herculiner under the pedals.

I may be able to swing by also...won't be much help but I can bring some :beer: :D

Took out the part of my console that has the sub woofer in it. I also tried to get the rails for the rear seat off, but ran into some issues trying to get the front two torx bolts out. I will wait until I have more help for that so someone can apply downward pressure while the bolt is turned.

This week I will remove the front of the console and start prepping the inside to get rid of the glossy paint as instructed in the herculiner directions.

I will use the foam ear plugs as suggested in another post here, but come Saturday, all the prepwork and most of the taping off will be done.

Did you already buy the Herc stuff?

I had done this years ago with my old CJ. The prep was not bad...I think I spent a couple of hours on it sanding and degreasing. The application was very easy...I used the roller and brush method. I'm looking a doing something similar to this with my TJ but I think I'm going to use the "Raptor" product...the Herc stuff was just a little too rough...the "Raptor" stuff is less abrasive.

Make sure you wear some gloves, long sleeve shirt and pants. It took well over a week for the stuff to wear off my arms.

I bought it at Pep Boys before they stopped the military discount program. :)

When did they stop their military discount?

I did the inside of my Sahara the key is to use the roller as much as possible and the brush to get the rough angles and you'll end up with a good looking finished product. Pop your drain plugs out before you apply any of the product and put tape in any hole that you are putting a bolt or screw back into it will save you so hassle. Make sure you give it enough time to dry also.

what glue?

[USMCHarleyJeepGuy]

what glue?

Sometimes there are small "glue" residue spots from the carpet...it is actually the adhesive used on the backing in the manufacturing process and over time it can make the hotter parts of the floorboards a little sticky under the carpet.
