I never thought about vinyl wrapping them - I'm halfway through painting, so I'll just stick with that for now, and if they warp badly I'll just re-do them with ABS or something waterproof. In theory there shouldn't be much moisture in the cargo area with the floor pan holes patched and new...

I'm almost positive the seatbelt bolts are T50 How was the shipping time from Team Grand Wagoneer? I've heard horror stories about their waits and customer service.

I just want to say thank you for such a meticulously documented build thread! I've learned a lot, and you're perseverance with an old, stubborn Jeep is pretty impressive. With the spare tire in the cargo area, have you considered putting anything in the OEM spare location? It seems like a lot...

Well, as usual everything takes way longer than you expect it to, but I have still made some progress. The floorboards are all painted and all of the sound deadening is down! I did 100% coverage, even though I've heard anything above around 25% has diminishing returns (its purpose is just to...

My seized seat bolts are actually the ones closest to the trans tunnel: both on the drivers side and the rear on the passengers. They are a dual threaded stud, coarse on the side that screws into the floor, and fine threaded on the top, where a nut holds the seat bracket on. There are 3 per...

Thanks! My wonderful wife helped me last night and we got the back seat covered. It wasn't too bad, the seat bottom had a bunch of hog rings and the seat back was actually just 3 zippers. I'm pretty sure the few wrinkles that are left will lessen when the seat is actually sat on and out in the...

I'm in the process of re-doing the whole interior, and progress is slow as I just have too many projects going on. The old carpet was really, really bad, and the seats were cut up so this was a necessary first step according to my wife. There was some rust on the floorboards, but only three...

Yeah, that makes sense. I am always swayed by the classic look, but in the end form < function. I like that the Rhino Rack stuff doesn't have side bars so a sheet of plywood would fit nicely.

What all is involved in dropping the column? Just the metal bracket I removed and those two screws where the column meets the firewall? As my Wagon has no roof rack right now, and the original holes are all sealed up and painted over, I was thinking of doing a gutter mount system. I think a...

So my main project right now is getting the horn fixed so the Wagoneer can be inspected. Horn and brake lights are all I have left. I have checked the fuse, replaced the horn relay, replaced the horn and the original wiring connectors, cleaned the ground and I still have a very weak horn. I'm...

Good call on the roof rack - my first thought was that the crossbars might be a bit close to the roof. And the interior progress looks great, keep it coming!

Thanks Dennis! I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with just a 2" and still fit 31x10.50s... it sounds like I'll be okay in the front, but maybe not with a loaded down trunk I've done a little bit of leather work, but am no means a skilled tradesman like you - I was thinking of...

Thanks! I'm not all done wiring them (not hard just time consuming with a crappy soldering iron) but I think if I were to do it again I would just do the LED bulbs. Who knows, maybe the final product will surprise me! Yeah, that guy is great! The first thing I did after buying the Wagoneer was...

I have to say amazing job - I love the old-school focus and the old picture of your dad's jeep just makes the whole build for me! Since you have 31x10.5's and stock height springs do you get any rubbing? Do you still get lock to lock on your steering?

Thanks guys! I've been putting off the tear down of my steering column to fix a really weak horn (needed for registration) and planning small projects in the mean time. I'm somewhat nervous of fire due to all the wiring problems, so I decided to put an inline fuse on the chose/emissions wire...

What sound deadener did you use on the floor, and what are you planning on using for the roof? I've used the cheap Peel n Seal on the floor of my TJ, but have read that it can sag/pull off when its used for a roof...

My first order of business was to buff the paint. I have no intention of having this be a garage queen, and I've never had an even remotely shiny car before, but I think it'd be cool to be able to participate in a small-town car show every once in a while. I bought a Harbor Freight dual action...

Thanks! Your chief looks sweet - I love those widetracks! I haven't gotten on FSJNetwork yet, but I intend to. And thanks for the advice on the interior. We just got a garage at our apartment so I'll now be able to pull everything out and do it at once.

Hey everyone! This is my 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I'm starting this build because I have learned a ton from so many forums and build threads out there, and want to be able to give back a little, but more honestly I know I'm going to need some help (FSJ wiring anyone?!?!?) and this is a great...

I just bought a new adventure rig and got her polished up this weekend. 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with the grill from a 1967 J-Truck And next to my TJ, very excited about all the extra room!
