Your bedliner looks just like mine, you didn't wrap it around the back hatch by any chance did you?

Well what I said is funny, and its true, both ways you take it. It looks fine, your just able to take more, that and if you wanna build and exo-cage you got a great start!

Looks Ginormous. I would put that one on CL and use the proceeds to buy a smaller one.

Also this thread is more appropriate in Cherokee Chat since this is not a build thread
