Interior Swap

[gtommec]

Today i changed the interior of my KJ from the taupe Limited interior to the Dark Slate Grey Renegade interior.

First a couple of shots of what I started with:

other than the fact that I absolutely loath the taupe interior I changed mine because of the nasty carpet (from the PO)

at this point I need to point out that I had originally planned on swapping the entire dash out as well but I was running out of time and I figured it would be easier to paint the dash pieces rather than remove the entire dash. but I decided that I kinda liked the center stack being a different color so I installed the taupe center console in as well.

Finished:

also notice that I combined the Limited silver dash pieces with the Renegade brushed aluminium dash pieces and switched to the 2005+ instrument cluster.

I was sad to lose the silver limited door handles but I was able to save the door lock switch bezels and lock plunger bezels.


On a side note my parts KJ (2002 Renegade) has a weird knee bolster, it is not hinged like all the others that I have seen and it has a huge piece of metal behind it (my other 02, 03 and 04 all have the normal hinged bolsters) anyone else seen one like this?

Wow. Huge! How long did that take? Nice!
That would have been the perfect time to add in some of that peel-n-stick sound insulation for the flooring. I would like to have my Kj better insulated for winter's.
Did you do headliner too?

It took me about 4 hours to dismantle the interior from both trucks and re assemble one. I did not do the headliner as they were both the same color.

Thats a cool custom look you've got going there Tomme.

Great work - I like the contrast too.

Amazing how some will destroy the inside of a vehicle, isn't it? The previous owner of our KJ had a dog(s) that shed like crazy - hair EVERYWHERE and the 'wet dog' smell to boot!! :freak3:

After a few shampoos and tearing out all the seats it's finally starting to smell "normal."

Love seeing customized Jeeps like yours!

Nice work! That contrast with the center section looks sharp!
