JeepcoMJ Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 nice job but...aren't you gonna clean that up a bit so it looks nicer? i mean...the rest of the truck is BEAUTIFUL so far so I wouldn't overlook a little thing like that Once you get the fender and the door back on, it's invisible.

shelbyluvv Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pat, I an going to clean it up before I paint it. It got dark on me last night and I had to spray bomb it before I put her back to bed. James, is this weekend good for you? PM if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndru911 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Nice seat mod. I was curious if they would fit. Is the seating surface alot higher than stock? (If you remember) I'm trying to decide if I'm going to re-cover these factory buckets. I wonder if KK seats would fit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 They are pretty tall compared to stock. I would not use them in a truck with the old style dash at all. You would get stuck under the steering wheel. The steering wheel location in the 97+ is a couple inches higher than the old trucks. I still have about 4 inches of head room left and I am 5' 9" tall or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittrell Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hey Bo, how well do those WK seats fit in there? They look like they sit a little high, but I can't really tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK , I'll keep looking for options then , I'm 6'2" and have short legs I wonder if any of the other current jeeps have shorter seats. Not that I'm even close to working on interior. Keep up the good work , it keps the rest of us motovated. -Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittrell Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Damn, I guess Overland seats are out, I'm 6'2"................... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have been playing around with some SEM in a few different colors. I painted the upper dash taupe and the lower portions ladera. Not a perfect match but really close. Here is the slight difference between the two colors. The console is ladera and the seats are Chrysler taupe. Just a few touches to make it unique.

wolfpackjeeper Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I like it, makes me think of Easter. Nice job, I guess it was either this or you should have covered it in Louis Vutton fabric... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Dude, it looked way better before.... IMO get some Chrysler Agate matched painted and put it back to stock. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Me personally... I like it before as well. When you change to the lighter colors, especially with paint, the chances of it showing nicks and scrapes are much greater in my opinion. Also it might prove to be harder to keep clean if you get mud on it and all. But - Remember this is your Jeep - Not ours. Your word is the final one Chief and whatever you want, you should have :thumbsup: Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaterjeep Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 My honest opinion? It looks like lavender and white. The rest of it looks complete BA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 At first I thought, ok cool, it's different. And I thought, well maybe it doesn't look so "lavender" in person. But I have to agree it looks way better before for my tastes. If I am correct that your goal was to match up to the seats you got, why not just have the seats recovered to match the original dash. Considering you committed grand larceny on what you paid for those seats :yes: , you could have them recovered and still be in to them for cheap! :brows: I agree with $500 though, for all the effort you've put in to this killer project, it truly deserves to be whatever YOU want it to be. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdesigns Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I like the lower but the upper needs to be another shade.. And thats my opinion and opinions are like well....... you know the rest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 It looks a little better in person. But I don't like it. I only bought one can of each for testing purposes. This is not the dash in the before pics. I have an extra one. This is my test bunny dash. I am going to try to use a couple different colors later this week. I am going with a tri-color theme like my WJ has. It is taupe (not that color taupe either) med. taupe, and lt. taupe. Once I spray then I will take more pics for observation. And for those that asked why I did not recover my seats. My answer is, Have you priced a complete seat recover for a pair of seats plus the head rests?

Kittrell Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I don't like lighter interiors simply for the fact they are impossible to keep clean. I don't know how WK owners deal with that cream in the limiteds......... :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
