jeepinxj05 said:about the main support, i've read in numerous threads that it is.
plus, when i'm flexing along with all xj owners, why is it impossible to close an opened rear hatch??
it's because the unibody torques more with it opened than closed...
i'm pretty sure it is the support,
but if i am wrong, don't just criticize my original thought,
instead correct me

If you want a rear open cargo area, buy an Unlimited
