jimoshel Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 One thing I think Pete is in arrears for for not mentioning. I just pulled the mats in my '87 XJ.There was over 8 inches of snow leaving 2 inches of water on the floor. Pulled the mat and got hit by the most gawd awful rotten smell I have ever experienced in my life. I think they use formaldehyde in their manufacture. Gonna go clean the cesspool now so I can get a breath of fresh air. Oh yes. The floor did have some lite surface rust, easily taken care of. PULL YER FLOOR MATS. Good advice. incidently, a soaking wet floor mat weighs over 500Lbs.Welll. That's what it felt like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfpdm Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 :agree: Finally pulled the carpet out of the 86 to swap in a better one from the JY. I have a few new drain holes. I'll be glad when the 88 is back on the road so I can get rid of this one. :shake: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
