I dunno about monstalining... I've looked into it some, but it's really just truck bed liner and people'd use it if they planned on getting into some serious stuff. She's a trail rider and a light mudder, so the benefit of monstalining is mostly lost on her. Plus I want to get her back to the original blue!

Sorry about the lack of updates, guys--family and I sorta stumbled into a new project. We picked up a 1986 AMC Eagle Wagon for $650. Has a blown head gasket (coolant leaking into cylinder) and a leaking heater core, so I'm working on the head gasket now and will do a temporary heater core bypass later until I can put a new one in. Other than that, though, the car is super clean with almost zero rust on it... It'll definitely turn some heads once it's able to drive down the road!

So the Eagle's done! I'll have a good picture of it here pretty soon, just gotta get everything nice and clean.
Did some small stuff on the Cherokee. Replaced a wiper arm and put some camper shell weatherstripping on the tailgate because it was leaking, seems to have done the trick for now. I think it was leaking because of how the roof's tweaked, which I really have no concrete way to fix without worrying about causing different, potentially worse problems.
In the meantime, have an exhaust note video! I really love how she sounds, haven't heard any other XJ's I like as much.
