Put the spare tire rack my dad made me in. I can't attach more than one photo but it also folds down so I can open my rear hatch. Now to my my spare tire and rim.

Stared at it in the driveway from my living room... 9 degrees and it was dads turn in the garage lol!

Tried liquid balancing tires yesterday (still havent driven it to check if it worked) And patched a hole in my rocker panel so no crap would get in over winter (Doing 2x6 replacements in spring)

Installed a sweet MOLLE panel the ol' lady got me for Christmas and strapped on a couple of pouches. It is made for a Wrangler tailgate, but with my lazer level eyes and some "custom" spacers, I made it work in the XJ.

VERY nice sir, good work...what are you using to bend that square tubing?

EDIT: Or did you just use it as cross members for the floor? After looking at your pics again, it looks like you added to an existing aftermarket rack, yes? Still, nice job...

Oil filter adapter O-rings took care of %90 of my mess.
