The interior is starting to come together. The seats and center console armrest are re-upholstered, the headliner was re-done, the carpet cleaned and everything else detailed. Here's some pics-

Here's what came out of my carpet, nasty!

Wow, that's some funky water. I'd hate to know what mine looks like.

 

[NWOff-Roader]

The bad part is, I keep my Explorer really clean, but you wouldn't think so from the look of that water. I knew the carpet was nasty from years of abuse, but that surprised me! Dirt, sand, kids, dogs, soda, food- yukk! LOL

Here's a few better pics of the seats-

Are those your stock front seats?they look good,whole truck looks goodi carpet clean my carpets about every month and i swear it comes out looking like tar/swamp water every time.

 

[NWOff-Roader]

Thanks! Yes, the front seats are stock, everything in the interior is stock.

I had all the seats (and center armrest) re-upholstered with a dark brownish tweed on top and a buckskin (pretty close to stock) vinyl on the sides and back. We figured the darker tweed would not show dirt as bad.

The upholstery guy not only made any repairs needed to the seat foam, but he also made sure the seat frames and any adjustment mechanisms were all cleaned up and working properly as well.

Here's some build pics of the roof rack/light rack assembly, hopefully I'll get some of it completely finished in the next few days.

I guess my red paint wasn't the only one faded in multiple locations. My only drawback was it looked like someone painted the hood with a paint brush.

I took care of it all with flat black, after the 3rd different body color.
Red body, brown and tan doors, 94 limited green bumper... flat black looks a lot better.

It will all be red again one day.

 

[NWOff-Roader]

I think it was originally dark green. I probably already mentioned it, but I'm getting away from the red, it'll be bright white when it's all done.

Here's a couple more pics of the roof rack/light rack and a couple of the rock sliders. The rock sliders will get treadplate on top just like the bumpers when they're finished.

Rock sliders-

Nice work, I like!

 

[NWOff-Roader]

Nice work, I like!

Thanks, the guys at Solo Motorsports do great work and always give me exactly what I want or better!

Might be a dumb question but how is the rack attatched? Anyway you'd take a pic or two of the mounting points? Oh ya and it looks sweet as heck bro!

 

[NWOff-Roader]

Not a dumb question at all. They use all of the stock roof rack mounting points and then add two more "nutzerts" on the front side, so I beleive there will be five mounting points per side, ten total. When it's all said and done each mointing point will have a rubber gasket underneath it as well.

Here's one pic that kinda shows it. I'll try to get Bob to take a close up of one so you can see exactly what they look like.

Here's one they did several years ago on another Explorer, basically the same thing.

 

[adamsbro2]

That's awesome! What did the rack cost ya if you don't mind me asking?

 

[NWOff-Roader]

Ahh, well, considering I already had the light rack and HIDs and I made some changes to the origonal design, probably about $1,000-$1,200 when it's all said and done.

Well worth it not to have to put dirty tires and other bulky items inside anymore, especially after having the interior cleaned and repaired.
