The Jeeps interior is playing on my mind, and I never leave a good sock behind. That was a rhyme. I'm back from a short trip to the UK and I have acquired some original XJ interior. In this video I want to address some moisture issues, refurbish the interior, vinyl wrap some parts, and replace my leather seat covers with the originals from ten years ago. I'm going to go a bit OCD on this one, maybe not enough to sleep completely through the night, but enough to get a few hours in before the night terrors start. Despite my enthusiasm to get started on the 4.0 Renix, the parts haven't arrived yet, so the Diesel is in for a treat. Thanks for watching and your support! Mike

A good sock can be very comforting on a cold and lonely night in the roof top tent 😂

I cannot even begin to describe how helpful watching videos like these has been in fixing random bits and pieces in my own XJ. Thanks for uploading all of this!

Know that feeling all too well with a project Jeep sitting on the driveway 🤣

can't wait to see that 4.0 steal ur heart

I think it’s great that so much of what you do is improvised. 👍🏻

You knowledge and skill around that jeep is insane but your patients is pretty impressive that's for sure 🤙🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Impeccable pull-out maneuvers! I guess after your first or second kid, you endup perfecting the technique. 😉👍

BJE...Best Jeep Ever!🤩 Like your OCD...we all love & admire!😉 Keep up the good work you're doing!! ATB Mike!🤝

Making cars from regular steel is like making diving watches from paper.

Well done. That was a ton of work!

Mike, if you can locate a automotive paint store near you, SEM makes a vinyl interior paint for your specific interior color in aerosol. if they don't have your specific color code. they will have color cards to get a close match, even though aerosol, its amazingly durable and holds its color for years, it will make your quarter interior look brand new less the cracks, which you can super glue prior to painting.. love your content bud, and thanks for the laughs. Cheers!!🍺🍺

Thanks for that. I've found the colour code and ordered a can. I will touch up the back interior, I think. It looks faded. Appreciate the info and thanks for watching.

@@WorkshoptoWilderness your going to love the product, I use it often when refreshing older vehicles. typically I use a grey scotch brite pad or even a magic eraser to clean the panel prior to painting. for an aerosol it lays down surprisingly well, that being said, I've not used it in the temps you experience.

Wow! A lot of work but very satisfying!

It's all about priorities Mike. The socks should always take precedence.

Just like it when you do stuff. Can't believe you actually did the mask and the hoover. Yes your leather work is sadly missed in the community. Once a day keeps the prostate cancer away. Good video, they always are. Keep it up💦

Appreciate you watching. The hoover, haha, it was asking for it. I still do some basic leather work, but it's scaled down quite a bit. Is that actually true? Once a day keeps the prostate cancer away?

Turned out great Mike! As you said, a TON of work and labor of love. Looking forward to the work to start on the 4L.

I’m on day 84 right now. Thankfully, this different chemo is not as hard on my body, in comparison to the other stuff(Temodar). The next MRI is coming up on the 16th. Hopefully, the growth has been halted. My doctor cleared me to do simple camping trips. So to get back into the swing of things. I will be camping here on the family farm. Thank you for asking. Cheers to you and your family.🤙

I don't think I showed the release latch? Did I? I never installed it anyway as that's for another day. I've screwed through a few looms, not recently, as I've learnt my lesson! Thanks for watching

@@WorkshoptoWilderness You said "hood latch" while holding up a handbrake which I guessed was a deadpan joke :) Ditto with the looms - I assumed 'I put these straight through wiring loom to act like loctite' was more classic dry wit :)

Nice work, as you say a huge amount of work. It really must be one of the best looked after XJs in the world!

I really enjoyed this (and all your) video(s). What you do is something I never see myself having the skills or time to do, so I just love relaxing and following your journey. Plus Sweden is up there as the most beautiful country I have visited.

Gotta keep those gimp suits going strong 💪

Have the same exact problem :( rebuilt the floor and painted everything and I've been getting condensation and therefore the floors been rusting again. Thanks to you know whats going on! Had no clue it's condensation until now :) Cheers from Iceland

12:15 fully loosing it... 😂

I thought the leather on my old man's XJ was actually plastic 😂

3rd 🥉 I used a product from Russia called Noico that was a lot cheaper than fatmat on my XJ *Disclaimer: I bought that during warmer times with Russia.

Wooooo another video!!!

Stop playing with it, leave it alone, you'll go blind!

you are very funny (haha). yeah shit load of work.

Did you put sound deadener on the floor in the cab or just in the back?

It's on the floor of the whole jeep and the roof. I just revisited the back mostly in this video due to the water problem.

The cab was fine because there was nothing over the top of the sound deadening. The problem in the back was the rubber mat.
