My subs mostly. My mother had a wood one in her Xj, but I didn't like it. I want something that is easy to move for when I have to haul motors around and whatnot.

I've seen a couple roll up ones in XJ's. I don't remember exactly where I saw them but it was during a search for cargo ideas on Bing or Google.

I managed to find one in a junkyard jeep. They're handy, but a bit of a pain in the butt to roll up. It mainly lives in the corner of my dining room.

Gotone from pick and pull today. Has about an inch on each side, but less than a stock one. Still needs brackets on the end to hold it in place, but other than that it works pretty damn good!

What did you get that out of? Every XJ one i've seen has the relief cut in it for the spare.
