Default What should I do with these?

Today, my buddy who owns a restaurant was throwing out 2 heavy duty shelves from his storage room at his store. I snagged them with the thought that I could do some ghetto fabrication on my XJ with them. I've had the thoughts of making a roof rack, cutting it up and make a shelf in the cargo area, racks for the window, maybe even cut them more and make tail light guards... or should I just use them for shelves in my garage? lol

My wife lost my tape measure (and by wife, I mean I really don't know who lost it) so these size specs are estimates I would say they are about 5.5 feet long, and roughly 2 feet wide. They are really strong and heavy, probably about 40 lbs. each at least. What ever I do with them, I will probably be painting them black

Thanks in advance for all the ideas!

Yeah, they are coated. I kinda thought they might go best in the back of the Jeep too... but who knows? Thanks for the input!
