I love the bedliner. it is holding up very well and was very easy to do. The only thing I think I would have done differently was maybe spray one coat of black paint on it. I don't think the bedliner would have faded as much. it still looks really good though.

I installed the harness and autopals tonight. Super easy, only about 1 and a half hrs. Super bright. Thanks

Default Lots of stuff!

today I attempted to fix an idling problem. cleaned the throttle body and IAC. The xj is running much smooother and is a little peppier, but it didn't fix the idling problem.
Drove an hour in the dark, and the autopals are way better than stock.
Also, my dad and I built a snowboard/fishing pole rack. It's made out of some snowmobile rail things( just some polyurethane plastic rails my dad had), chain, and parts from an old pair of snowboard bindings I had laying around. It works kind of like a thule or yakima snowboard rack.

I need to get a picture of it, I like how it works

Low profile, I like it. Has a couple flaws, the rubber mat I used is too thin, and I want to use a machine bolt with a nut to hold the plastic ladder part on instead of a screw. My dad said the screw would be fine, but I'd rather be safe than lose my board or pole.
