Started My Hurculiner Project Tonight

Today I stopped at Tractor Supply and picked up some Herculiner and paint rollers/brushes.. Then went off to work and "borrowed" some Rubber Gloves, I should be all set (Except a rubber for my Hootus...HAHA) Any way i started unbolting the stuff tonight got everything out cept the front seats there a Pain to get out...even my impact wrench won't take em off and i don't wanna snap anything. Also How many drain plugs are in a jeep minus the two in the front?

Thanks Micah
Ill post pics later

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f12/herculiner-how-questions-answers-532873-post5010511/

put up a couple pics, i was real happy to see the condition of my tub. this is an 87 yj thats been in ohio since. the guy i bought it from had some kind of crazy 1/2 inch thick insulation glued to the floor. took me forever to scrape the glue off.

I just herculined my heep last week. So far, i am very pleased with the outcome. Just be sure you PREP alot before getting into the good stuff. One week later, and i can say that my hands are finally clean.

It certainly looks like you did a great job of scuffing the shine off the paint inside. Consider pulling out your rollbar, shifters/cover and the "air-handler/heater radiator box, it was a PITA, but I am glad I did on my Herculiner project. You can search "DIY Herculiner" and my photos and thread will pop up.

Just wondering after removing all the sets and other hard wear are you sanding the tub before the coat goes down?
