Nice!
Where are you in the CZ?
We were in Prague for the month of may and I saw a few XJ's, was one of them yours?

Something out of Europe:

 

[MartyHQ]

I am located in Bohemian paradise, about 70 kilometers from Prague eastern direction. I daily drive my XJ so it is possible that you could have seen me. But on the other hand the XJ is quite popular in Czech. There is a bunch of parts dealers that work well finally. I know about like 20 XJs that have been pretty well built.:thumbup:

Sorry for OT

How is everyone storing their spare axles?

Right now I just roll mine up in a piece of canvas, and then strap the roll to my tie downs. It's flop proven, but I would like to change it especially now that I have a set or rear shafts too.

The wooden crate is actually bolted through the wheelwell.

Daily driving duties.

Quick question. Was the floor/subframe thick enough were the tie down's are to just use a bolt? Or did you have to use a nut on the under side?

I want to replace my tie down's, but I'm not sure if the metal is thick enough to support a bolt without a nut.

The stock tie-downs screw into the floor. For anything heavier, a nut for the bolt is going to be needed.

Just watch where you put them. There is not a lot of unoccupied space under the floorpan so you have to be kind of careful not to drill into something important

Mine are riveted down. Somebody told me that the under side are inside the subframe. Unless Jeep ran fuel/brake/electrical down the inside of the subframe rail it should be pretty safe. I'm just curious how thick the metal is and if it will allow for a bolt without a nut.

I put these in mine

I had to hunt around for safe spot to put a nut. I did not try to go through the framerail since I thought it would be easier to put a nut on the outside of it

Are those from a mid 90's blazer? If so, those are exactly what I was thinking of installing.

I replaced the rivits with bolts. There was access under Jeep for washers and nuts.

They are from the Tahoe. Other Chevy SUVs had them but I found them most often in the Taho

I use them all over the place in my rear area

My OEM tie-downs were pretty much rusted out and only held on with a rivet. I drilled them out and replaced them with a 5/16 grade 8 bolt and lock nut. I then made the tie-down straps and put them in the stock locations (I need to add some more). They work great and hold down the cargo securely with some ratchet straps.

I like it!

I was thinking about a PVC tube, but it would have to be pretty big to fit the rear axles in. Time to do a little R&D.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What type of lights are those?

 

[ehall]

Those are etrailer backup lights but I should have bought the Peterson M411C instead, since the latter uses 1156 bulbs that are more common

...and I think it'd be a pain to load and unload from the end. They won't just slide in and out like drinking straws.

Hey man what did you do to the back of the seat to get it set up like that? Just a peice of wood? That's pretty sweet.

Here's my write-up http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?p=243971592

Here is how mine was before the chopping had started. The 20lb CO2 tank was in a mount tied to the rack also. I also added a high lift mount to the back of the rack but its not in the photo.

Worked well, even when she was on her side.

Bumping this thread back to the top since I'm about to re-do my interior again. I'm thinking of ditching the carpet, herculining the floor, laying down thick rubber mats, ditching all of the rear seats, making custom child seat mounts, and re-thinking my storage of tools, parts, fluids, and the like.

This was how I had it setup.

My headliner finially failed and I've got lots of mildew/mold on everything cause stuff got wet and never dried out. I'm sick of cloth.

There are some quite varied ideas in this thread, here is a pic of mine in full "touring mode"
