The first thing I did was shore up the interior by getting some sheet metal screws and reattached the A\/C to the dashboard.\u00a0 After that was done, I picked up a nice JVC AM\/FM\/Cassette deck from the BX, and scored some second-hand stereo gear from a couple of friends.\u00a0 I tore out the seats and laid down some black astroturf (rather than carpet) and bought some new seat covers.\u00a0 Then I got a padded roll-bar cover, spare tire cover, and bikini top from 4WD Hardware.\u00a0 So basically after some hardcore cleaning, the astroturf, some seat covers and a kickin’ stereo, the Jeep’s pretty much mine now.\u00a0 No turning back now – and no pictures handy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of this stuff happened while my wife was stationed in Korea. The deal happened so fast, I didn’t have a chance to consult with her as it all transpired. I was a little afraid she would be upset when I finally got a chance to call her to tell her I had sold the Blazer and bought a Jeep. But quite to the contrary, she was almost ecstatic since she actually really hated my Blazer – another story.\u00a0 OK – so that went well and it looks like the Jeep is a welcome addition to the family, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
