Getting closer. Moved into a bedroom for far less than I was paying in apartment rent, and I’ve reduced extra belongings to a 5 x 5 storage unit. Need to save up for proper window tinting, then install window blockers and curtains.
If all goes well, I’m living out of the XJ by December.
Current status of the cargo area. The platform is:
- a big piece of particle board
- scrap wood beams for support
- hardtop gaskets from my old TJ to prevent sliding and scratching up the sheet metal
- gray rustoleum
I made sure to leave that gap underneath the platform for ventilation. All essential tools, fluids, etc. sit underneath the area behind the seats. Wish I’d built an access door on the platform to make it easier, but it gets the job done. Holds up well.
