Started a hitch receiver tire carrier..
Started with a hitch ball and chopped off the end.. I probably shoulve just used 2x2 for it though as the fit is sloppy at first.
Added this to tighten it up..
Gettin a bit better..

[XJensen]

cool are you going to put a hinge on it so you could open your hatch

 

[831_xj]

Has it.. I'll show some better pics tomorrow. Was getting dark as I finished.

 

[XJensen]

Oh i can see it now. Cool. Is there much movement?

 

[831_xj]

Not any movement whatsoever with the bolt underneath it torqued down. I can sit completely on this thing and bounce around.. I'm only like 140 lbs. It that's far more than my spare lol

Couple more rpics

I like the swing down feature.

Anybody know why my ground post on my battery gets corroded kinda easily?

 

[GordoSmasho]

Baking soda and water mix. Pour. Rinse with fresh water

 

[Skipper51]

Apply Petroleum jelly or grease to battery terminals to protect them from corrosion.

 

[831_xj]

ya I cleaned it up put some terminal grease on it

I think it's really odd that it's only the negative though. It happens often and now it seems like more.

 

[Skipper51]

There could be gas coming out of the battery around the neg terminal so hopefully the grease will help stop it.

DUDE! those seat covers look legit!

 

[831_xj]

The wet okoles are friggin like sitting on a cloud of titties..
extra padding in em is so nice. I actually like the stock xj seats I've never been sore on long tritripthese just make it even better... Plus Mariah loves her seat heater hahah

 

[knucklehead 61]

those covers have seat heaters in them?
i need a set for Diane's new xj that we will keep in Oregon.
do you have a link to the covers?

 

[Goose_XJ88]

Those things are expensive tho.. i dont know if I could drop that much on covers.. Do they replace the factory fabric?

 

[831_xj]

Nope. They go I over the seats and clip underneath. Very snug fit. These were a gift for my bday. And yes they aren't cheap. You can get lumbar support with them too. Tim I'll send you a link. There are several options for these and it took about 2 weeks to get mine. They're all custom made. These are their full piping seats. And the heaters work amazing.

Tire plate from Ruffstuff should be here tomorrow. Excited to see how snug I can fit the rim
