Default Herculined the tub

Finally got some time to get this done this weekend but of course I had to deal with all the damn cottonwood trees blowing shit all over so I got some of that stuck while it was drying but it should blow out/brush out.....hopefully

What can I say about this? Shoulda done it long ago! This stuff does stink and I recommend NOT doing this in an enclosed space (garage) as I had to take breaks just to get fresh air and I was outside.

Took all off about 4-5 hours to prep/sand/scuff/tape. If you look around the Forum some folks will say the seats are a bitch to get out....not really. All it takes is to put the purse down and work smarter not harder. I used a half inch breaker bar and a two foot pipe on the end to give me the leverage to wrench the seat bolts out. Other then that it was easy and turned out pretty good

'nuff ramblin...here's some pics

I consider it the best mod for the money!

Kudos to you for taking the seats out, I was too damn lazy, I just painted around mine.

Looks good!

Looks good Falcon I think that may be the most uniform I've ever seen herculiner come out.

The 4dr rear seat bolts that are on an angle are a real bitch to get out if you dont realize you can flip the bottom of the seat up after you take the front bolts all out, otherwise there is no room to get any wrench or socket on them. I did a little write up on it with pics after going crazy trying to get them out. I didnt have any problem getting the bolts out with my breaker bar though or torque wrench.

I was too lazy to fart around with the center console too much. I gave it a valiant effort trying to get the shifter knobs off, but after I shit my pants I gave up and just tied the console out of the way.

you only need to take off the transfer case knob, put it in 4hi or neutral put a 5/8ths or so wrench under it and wack wrench from underneath with hammer and off it pops , pry the center bezel off that contains the cupholders and surrounds the tranfer case shifter from the inside lip of the storage compartment and then the 4 torx screws on the sides of the console and it comes out.
