In this pic, on the firewall....the yellow/brown stuff.

Pretty sure thats just insulation. I would take it off. It is VERY flammable. Caught mine on fire a couple times with the welder before ripping it out...

I say take it off, add some deadner and carpet over.

Maybe someone else will chime in, but I don't think it's the stock insulation.

It's really hard, like fiberglass. It won't cut easily.

I know the type of insulation you are talking about, though...it was under that square tubing that's being used as a cross-brace in the rear.
When I was welding the holes in the shelf area, it would catch fire from the spatter.

i had the same stuff in mine when i cleaned out the back. i had to use a wire wheel on a super duty drill to get it all off. Took me hours to get it all out of there. I think that its part of the original firewall.

Hey man how is that boy of yours doing? Have you figured him out...or do you still have him wearing "Baby" shirts so you know what he is?

He's a big boy!

Here's a pic we took at the Cabrillo Monument in Pt. Loma.

....that was in December. He's walking now.

Oh yeah.... Seems like yesterday I could hold him in one hand.....now my wife holds him to 2 minutes and is like "Here, take him, he's heavy!"

On the upside, he already likes being thrown onto the bed!

Made some progress today!

Started the carpeting....custom carpet takes forever. We did good on the passenger seam above the cage, but the driver's side needs a small patch....

And we put in the back window!

Not a whole lot, but a few steps forward!

you need to put a STF sticker on that back glass....

CopperBaja · Post by **CopperBaja** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 1:28 pm

I agree!

I haven't even taken a pic of my Cherokee with the sticker yet....maybe I'll get a pic of both of them.

Looking good so far.

And I agree with Ben.

I'll get one on this weekend.

Sorry...I'm slacking on pics....slipped 1/2 way down page 2....

I installed new bolts in the rear bumper where it attaches to the cage. I also had some help and got the hood installed and adjusted after getting the seal on.

And I mounted the CB antenna and have my flag on. I'll get pics as soon as I get home from work before it gets dark...
