Default Check out my Herculined XJ

So I started a thread some while ago, but I kinda forgot about it. I was asking about roll on bed-liners and I finally have it done.
So, I sunk my heep in a mud-hole as you can see I had water coming in through the windows.

I gutted the interior and started grinding away. I had quite a bit of surface rust so I went down to bare metal.

After finding some pretty bad holes right behind were the cross brace is under the rear seat I decided to do only the front part for now since I don't plan on putting the back seat in after I'm done.

So finally, two weeks later ( starting a business takes away ALOT of time ) I get around to applying the gooey rubber. One suggestion: WEAR GLOVES!!! That stuff is a pain to get off. Acetone works well, but you literally have to soak your skin so I would definitely recommend the gloves.

Check out my temporary seat!
So I decided to cover the bottom door-rails as well, and then had the GREAT idea to cover my flares. Makes it look so tough I will actually coat the exterior up to the line on my quarter panels all around. Came out about 1/8" thick after two heavy coats. Used a whole gallon of this stuff.

Gotta get another gallon haha. The only problem I had was while I had the Jeep parked across the street so I could unload my truck somebody threw a rock through one of my back side windows.

Wow, except for the OP, seems you guys have a cross brace for the front seats. My Cherokee doesn't and when I did my interior a few weeks ago, there were 2 tiny rust-through holes where the seat bolts are. I guess the power seats don't come with that brace. But the metal is stressed right there ...
