Not new, I guess it was just someone took better care of their jeep. I bought it as a package deal with seats, carpet, basically an entire interior with the seats that I was looking for~ I'll post those later today!

'92 Jeep YJ (Jurassic Build)
- Thread starter Dne007
- Start date
While scouring the United States Craiglslist in evey city looking for the Sahara seats, a fella on the Jurassic forum said he had everything that I need~ he's a jurassic nut. So, I bought just about everything from him: All correct seats, factory used carpet, radio, fog lights(front and rear), center console, etc.
This was his picture and I knew there was going to be a lot of cleanup and repairs.
The carpet, I spray it with spray n wash, then pressure washed it and allowed it to dry~ it came out good, or better than expected.
The seats were filthy, but I'm not complaining, but I repaired this first and the seat foam beneath it. I then removed all seat upholstery and washed each in a large sink of warm soapy water followed by a cold rinse and allowed to air dry.
Wasn't long I had all pieces in place and looked really nice!!
The original seat back bags were in very poor shape, so I made some new ones and they came out really nice
I did have my wheels sandblasted and I'll get to them next week, so painting the red parts should be next week, or soon I should say!
getting there However I have enjoyed the journey!

Wow that looks awesome, mine is pretty bad as well. Texas heat and sun just murders the dash. I was considering buying a new dash pad from Key parts but I like the way yours turned out with the SEM paint.The dash was pretty depressing, old looking, lens's all scratched up, radio didn't work.

When getting to the refurbishing the dash, washed it thoroughly, the sprayed a couple coats of SEM Graphite paint which matched the original color perfectly. Installed new instrument len's, a Newer radio which works, new speakers

I have the engine running now, runs great, but haven't driven it down the street yet, just backed up and down our driveway.
Got to go, I'll be back
Where did you find new lenses for the gauges?
Hi, thank you! They can be bought various places, ebay, or amazon, I'm sure other places. They're reasonably priced I feel.

Weird, all my years of looking have never run across them. Thanks! Gonna have to try out that SEM paint for myself soon for sure also.
One can is plenty, goes a long way. I just washed my dash really good, I didn't use any other component. I've also sprayed my dash in my 2000 dodge ram with it's color, it sits outside all the time and still looks great after a year or so

SEM for the win. I have seen many interiors redone with the SEM and it never disappoints.One can is plenty, goes a long way. I just washed my dash really good, I didn't use any other component.

Man oh man, I am going to have try and find me those seats. I wish they still made them new. I just don't see any seats that look better than the Sahara version. You did a heck of a job restoring them and the dash.
Well SirDroop~ I have the correct wheels that I bought a while back, I just took them to my local sandblasting place and had them blasted at 25 bucks per wheel. I had a new nicks, but was able to use a file to file them down, now deep gouges might require more thinking, perhaps some JBweld could fill gouges or even body filler I'd think. After blasting, I still sanded each wheel with some 320grit sandpaper to smooth the surfaces. A lot of the jurassic people just scuff their wheels and spray some Krylon paint, but I have a tendency to go the next step and do it best I can. I thought about powder coating, but the red may not match the red which will be used for the stripes, I do want everything to match. Tomorrow I'll go buy my red paint, and maybe by the end of the week it will start looking like the finished product
Thought I’d update you, I bought those lenses and they are crystal clear now! Thanks for the links, don’t know how I’ve never seen them before.
I had my wheels blasted last week at 25 bucks per wheel. Then re-sanded them a little bit to make smooth, then bought the correct paint, screen correct color, then. Epoxy primed then painted! I'm ready for tires!!!!
Tires came in today~ omg! 
They're awesome and my wheels~ !!! Still waiting on a master cylinder
