dzJeepChic 2,516 Posted August 29, 2015 Smurfy got new meats yesterday!!! We got a set of General Grabber AT2's which are remarkably similar to the new BFG KO2 A/T but substantially lower priced. They come with a 50,000 mile tread warrenty - BONUS! We went with 285x75x16 which is almost 33". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgaz 584 Posted August 30, 2015 Very ingenious fix on the headliner! Nice work as always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ob1jeeper 519 Posted August 30, 2015 Looking good. I'm a little confused o the headliner repair. Did G paint the foam and re-install the foam to the hard backing, or paint the hard backing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theksmith 4,019 Posted August 30, 2015 Looking good. I'm a little confused o the headliner repair. Did G paint the foam and re-install the foam to the hard backing, or paint the hard backing? i believe he carefully pulled the headliner fabric off, leaving the foam attached to the board. then he put the roof coating right onto the foam and it kinda became one with it - leaving a textured rubbery finish. it looks great in person, and seems like it will be easy to wipe clean. what he did is much easier than trying to scrape off the foam and paint the board, especially if his headliner "board" is at all like mine - a very very thin fiberglass material. nice job G!

K explained it perfectly - G maintained the foam and layered on the roof-coating solution. Part of the reason it took so long to dry between coats is the foam was just soaking it up. I'm very impressed with the results; you can't tell at a glance that the fabric is gone, except the finish has a slight sheen to it, and yet its durable and easily cleanable.

Was just curious, as every time I've had one sag, chunks of the foam came off with the fabric. Perhaps it was because I wasn't as careful as G in removing it.

Perhaps it was because I wasn't as careful as G in removing it. You raised some interesting questions, so I quizzed George and got more and better information. Apparently some of the foam came off as he peeled the fabric, so he caulked those spots. I realized it's a great fix applicable to practically any vehicle, so I started a new thread under Multiple/Any Vehicle and explained the whole process better: http://offroadpassport.com/forum/showthread.php?p=41568#post41568 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OffroaderJohn 2 Posted September 1, 2015 Hi! can you tell me more insights about the general grabber tires? I've seen that on the list of mud tires as i was browsing the net. im planning to get BFGs but you said grabbers are cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number7 87 Posted September 2, 2015 Hi! can you tell me more insights about the general grabber tires? I've seen that on the list of mud tires as i was browsing the net. im planning to get BFGs but you said grabbers are cheaper. I don't have any insight about them yet because I just purchased them. The were about $172 per tire plus the install at Discount Tire; the BFG KO2's were well over $200 each plus installation. So far they ride great and are quiet. These are All Terrain's not a Mud Terrain's. I think they'll be great for what I want to use then for; mostly street and some moderate trails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
