i just took mine out on saturday. mines a 96 and the 6 13 mm bolts broke off in the floor. about the only thing that went wrong with my removal.

 

are you going to bed line it?

 

buy you friends a 12 pack and give them the tools no drinking till their done though lol

 

Took about 2 hours for just the back on mine. Had to hack and tap bolts due to minimal surface rust, then was also watching the kid 90% of the time as well.

Front will come out here later this week for a rust eval and POR 15 treatment followed by Herculining pretty much all surfaces. After the plan is to reinstall the carpet having a quieter ride for family camping. Not real exciting stuff, but if we are going to keep the Jeep around for a few extra years might as well enjoy it.

 

I removed and replaced mine in about 2 hours,I used a air ratchet and had no rust so it went pretty fast smells better too!Would have bedlined it but considered noise and heat.If it were a total trail rig I woulda bedlined it

 

where did you get a replacement carpet?

 

Sgtskid on the forum here was parting out a loaded 2001 that had been wrecked,the carpet was like new,sold it to me for 35.00

 

how about using a dremel? I want to remove mine the fastest way

 

I think I'd like to repace my center console and carpet. This is the only crappy part of my interior, and would make a massive improvement inside.

Is rust a major roadblock issue in pulling up the old carpet?
Someone said 6 bolts were stuck.

Also, where can I get a replacement carpet?

 

If you are replacing it keep the pad from the passenger side as you will need it. I drove most of the summer with my carpet out while I patched the floor doing it part time and I could have cooked eggs or dinner on the passenger floor!
Replacements donèt have as large pads. At least mine did not!

 

I'll pull out my record player and put on some frank Sinatra

 

Are you a plunger? Stop bringing up old ****

 

hell i didn't even see the date
