Ok tried a spray can if rust-oleum bed liner and bed armour by duplicolir yesterday. Rust oleum runs and is thin. The duplicolor is thicker and doesn't run as much. Going to get a few more cans of the duplicolor at advance Auto. They have a 30% off online code: DOTW42

I did my whole floor and half the sides of my jeep this summer. I used a combo of the spray and roll on of the Duplicolor Armour Bedliner w/ Kevlar. So far I'm very happy with it. It takes a while to dry if its humid, but The roll on stuff is much chunkier than the spray on (obviously), which is good for the interior if you want a grippy floor (like say in your cargo area). the spray on makes a nicer finish for the exterior because its still got more texture than most, but not so much that it will hold onto every piece of mud/dirt that you get on your heep...
I've used the rustoleum spray bed liner on my roof rack, and in comparison, I'd say I agree that it is much thinner and runnier. it worked well as a coating for my roof rack, but it seemed to be about the equivalent of using black spray paint and throwing some sand on it. overall the duplicolor is (in my opinion) better quality (but its also more expensive- you get what you pay for)...
as far as prep work, I sanded the crap out of the interior w/ 80 grit sand paper, however, I realized that it wasnt really necessary for the bedliner. I really did the heavy sanding as more of a light rust removal/smoothing out weld and bondo areas from heavier rust repairs. the Exterior, I just used the "green scratchy pad" (which is basically just a Brillo Pad) that comes with the duplicolor roll on kit, and that was more than enough. All that you rerally need to do is scrath through any wax and the top clear coat. the bigger key is making sure you wipe off the surface with a little ascetone (or similar) first to make sure there isno dust, grease, or other contaminents that will affect the bonding.

if any one has any other questions, pm me.. id be happy to answer them

'88 Comanche (Renix 4.0, vacuum disconnect D30, NP231)
My 4WD hasn't worked since I went through a mud hole. The part time light stays lit on the dash, but 4WD never engages. Linkage looks good. When I got home that day, I found all plugs at the axle were disconnected.

I'm thinking mud is clogging the vac lines, but is there anything else I should look for? I'm out of the state, and don't be able to look at it til Tuesday. Need it fixed for wheeling next weekend, so I want a couple backup plans if it isn't a clogged line.

I have a manual cable disconnect (thanks to nowhres), but I haven't installed it yet.

Install the cable. But pull the cover and check to see if the fork is broken.

Default Gauge Cluster

Will a gauge cluster from a 99 00 01 XJ work in a 98?

On a stock 88 and 90 xj are all of the u joints the same size/part number like front drive-shaft, rear driveshaft, front axle?

Also when doing the front axle cal you just pull each side of the axle out of the tube to work on it and then just slip it carfeully back in?

For my downstream o2 sensor, its screwed into a bung thats welded to the exhaust pipe between the cat and muffler. I want to replace the exhaust from the cat back, can I get a muffler that you screw the o2 into? Like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Univ-13-x6-5...8175cb&vxp=mtr
