Now..even though I dont wheel much..I want a Jeep thats going to have everything In it I need for any occasion. I am pretty well into expedition survival techniques and the gear needed to survive in extreme environments. I haven't done much to it yet but here is my Mag-Lite Mod as well as a picture of my cargo area..

Havent had much time to do anything else...I will prolly give the xj a bath today..I think my next mod will prolly be the lift. Still looking for someone locally on here to help me do it myself, if not I guess itll be done by my local offroad shop.

Sorry for the late post...I never seen your comment. I actually just drilled straight through the factory rails and used some heavy duty bolts and nuts...also drilled through the floor of the rack and bolted straight to the factory rails...extremly sturdy..plus with surco I have heard of several problems with the rain gutter mounts so I figured this option would be the best and simplest way to go!

Thats what ya get when you are doorless and just throw a tarp over the jeep. I live in a decent location, I was actually suprised when I realized they were gone, I didnt have a TON of stuff but I had a big wrench and socket set, all kind of drill bits, hammers, pliers, etc...just bought a new Kobalt socket set so Im getting my supply back
