EUREKA Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I want one but not for the prices I find them at, not by a long shot. Anyone make their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUREKA Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Thank you Sir. I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUREKA Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Did you have an old one to use as a template or did you just measure for the angle on the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZJeff Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Mine was all trashed when I got my MJ, and the cheesy "hardboard" Jeep had used was curled and delaminating from previous water damage. This drove me to a make a new one. I bought a piece of "masonite" from the lumber yard, and cut it to shape with a saw. (I used the old piece as a template.) Then I sanded the edges to remove the sharp corners. I obtained some black headliner material, and used spray-on headliner adhesive to attach the fabric to the masonite. The "L" brackets that attach to the bottom I cleaned and repainted, and attached them to the masonite with screws/nuts/washers. The headliner material is not as rugged as the stuff Jeep used, which was a sort of low-rent carpet type material. However, I don't put stuff behind my seats except a jacket or the like, so I am not worried about trashing the fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I made mine out of 3/4" plywood and slapped some speakerbox cardboard on it. now I can screw brackets to it, like for my fire extinguisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJeepGuy Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The market for a factory deal was out of reach for me but I also wanted to make use of the space so I designed a molle panel that fits like factory and provides storage options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnakerblue89 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I wanted to put this out there for the world: Back in September, I came across a gray Pioneer at a scrapyard and I had the sense to snag the panel as I knew they weren't always easy to obtain. I still have it, and as far as I can tell, it is in tact. Point being, if a panel with its carpet is desired as a donor for reproduction by an able craftsman on this forum, or who runs a business and is interested in a donor piece strictly for reproduction, I am willing to donate it for a higher cause. Because restoring these old things isn't getting any easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUREKA Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I have a really good upolstry guy. I bet he could use it as a pattern to make more of them. I can ask him about it on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnakerblue89 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The metal tabs may need to be refashioned and attached, I might add. I'm sure it may not be a difficult task for those who can fab up whatever they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place that I know of is Lantner's and he's usually too busy to act very excited about taking new jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUREKA Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Phil does good work but you have to know him in order to get things done quickly. Phil and have a mutual friend. He did my seat, headliner and visors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
