Spent day one of the strike putting a coating of do it your self bedliner a la walmart $45 special. Used a can of their spray on for the seams and then used the roller for the rest. Went all the way up to the cross brace just under the rear seat and 8 inches up the sides under the trim. Looks pretty good. Now I can make dump trips and just hose it out and if I swamp it no biggie.

Had my bottle of gear oil leak in the back a while ago and I was getting sick of the smell of 90W. I always thought the stuff smells like dead fish

the hosing out of the inside isnt as smooth as you would expect. I drove mine up on some rocks to angle it towards the back and it just puddled at thre rear plastic moulding. I ended up putting drain holes in certain areas now.

The liner brand was Plasti-kote, came in a kit with the roller brush, tray, paint brush, scotch brite and a 1 gallon can of the stuff. I put about 6 coats on and still have 1/2 a can. I was thinking about doing the wheel wells with whats left...

Looks great! That turned out perfect!


I have bedliner in the back of my XJ as well, but I think mine varies a little bit from yours

Looks good man. I did mine with a "undercoat gun" and sprayed the whole interior from the back hatch all the way to under the dash.

Hey,

I like that storage bin you have built in there. That would be nice to keep all the wheeling stuff.

Thanks, just welded in a ammo can, I used to get them for free on base. the invertor and battery tray is also welded in solid so nothing will come flying at me incase of a roll. I have a sealed battery compartment also so it wont leak or release gas inside.
