I got herculiner on my hootus!

[SuRrEaLNJ]

Apologies to GJarrett, i couldnt resist the title

Just got done hercing the floor of my truck

The interior of this one was pretty much destroyed, truck spent an unknown amount of time before me siting outside with no sunroof in it, so i had gutted it down to next to nothing. Figured id take the oportunity while it was empty.

I dont have any shots of what it looked like when i first got it, but man was it sad. this is the oldest pic i have of the interior. the beaded cover on that stearing wheel is directly over the metal, the leather wrap was completly gone, good indication to the life this one has had.

the whole interior was pretty much the same moldy rust color as the seat frame

I guress its the first major step on its way to a new life.

Looks good! I'm thinking about doing the same thing to get weight down. Explorer's are fat little piggies haha.

WOW, that looks pretty cool....how do you think it will do for soundproof or are you not concerned?.... I have some Stock Eddie Bauer seats, electric with great condition leather that ill sell for 200 bucks for the 2 fronts...

hehe, just throwin that out there cuz i dunno what to do with em

where do you get herculiner, how do you put it on, and how much does it cost? im thinkin about taking my running boards off but underneath them isn't painted

ran me $116 for a gallon kit and a quart at my local pep boys. The gallon probably would have been enought though, but i wanted to be on the safe side.

It goes on with a "chip" (throwaway) brush and this really cool texture roller thinggy (sorry, i work in paint, these things amuse me)

I have no idea what its gonna do for sound proofing, but im really not concerned. The carpet was toast, and this was so much easier/more utilitarian/absolutely bad ass-looking than replacing it with another carpet.

BMX, thx for the seat offer, but i got a set from a 94. Id like to eventually put 95+ seats in, but i got plenty of other things to fix before then.. did i mention the truck

 

[everythintech]

you didnt go over your body bolts did you? it looks like it in the pics....

 

[ExporeRanger]

is the herculiner more rubbery..non skid like..or is it slicker like hard plastic?

 

[SuRrEaLNJ]

everythintech, im going to have to admit that i did

ExporeRanger, its non skid

 

[mattadams]

dont worry, if you ever have to get your body bolts off you can get em off. My old truck they'd sprayed rhino lining over the bolts and I was still able to get them off when I needed to

 

[everythintech]

oh yeah no worries, i was just posting so someone else who does it has one more thing to think about...

 

[ExporeRanger]

i kno its non skid..liek texturey..but isnt it more plasticky texture then actually rubbery texture?
