The stock interior (seats, flooring/carpet, gauges, etc) was not going to hold up to what I had plans for the vehicle for off-roading and utility on the hunting lease.

 

So......out came everything.  The interior floor was media blasted to bare metal.  I replaced the front floor pans due to some very slight rust.  I then shot heavy sealant coat and primer, then laid down 3 coats of Durabak rugged liner.

 

The rollbar is a Smittybuilt 4 point with their add-on front hoop.  I added a dash bar and a bar behind the seat, along with some crossbars in the top hoop.  I really just need to build a cage from scratch for better body and head clearance around the cab.

I also built a seat frame into the rollcage for the Baja seats, and added 5pt harnesses.

 

I replaced the backseat with a monster heavy-plastic tool box.

 

The stock gauges weren't to be trusted, so a gauge pod was added on the bottom center of the dash with AutoMeter tach, water temp, and tranny temp gauges.

 

A plate for switches went in the hole where a radio was (ARB switches, fuel pump, engine fan, tranny cooler fan, etc)

 

Here's a wide shot for now:
