BOV is the way to go, people always think that someone is going to save them, I see it everytime we have a hurricane, people running around not prepaired and waiting on the government to help them...ha ha...im into being prepaired.

But yesturday I was able to do Rustoleum bed liner on the entire roof of the xj, came out good, had a bunck of little rust spots showing up so figured bed liner was a good solution, no pics yet.

P.S. was able to snag a small air compressor and a power inverter, for free! So I plan on working that in as well.

Well all the suspension is on, alignment is way off for now, adj trac bar is on but axle is about 2 inches to the drivers side, first time dealing with it so just have figure it out it's a pain in the ***.
Also got the new brake lines on too.

So if anyone has any track bar suggestions they are welcome!!

Mannn, I have the same sort of plans for my XJ too. The bedlined roof is a new one for me, I haven't see it before. Different, but looks good man, keep up the hard work.
