Not long term effective. Besides the mud getting it dirty you'd have to get some really hard stuff so it wouldn't break. Plus if your rock crawling it's bound to get scratched up and eventually you wouldn't be able to see out of it. That being said it would be pretty cool to see what's going on underneath your XJ.

How to drain fuel tank.
Im wondering how you drain the fuel tank on my 1989 Jeep Cherokee without removing the tank completely. And Without having to siphon the gas out?

Hey All,
I'm having a couple of issues on my '01 XJ and wanted an opinion.
First my brakes got really hard overnight. You can still stop, but you have to strong leg the pedal. I was thinking possibly the vacuum booster. I didn't know if there was a way to test the vacuum system to locate the issue.
Second at the same time as the brakes getting super stiff I started having a start problem. It cranks, but it won't fire. After its cranked it coughs, like their is air being sucked through. If I push down on the gas while cranking it will fire.
I'm not sure if these things are related, but it makes me nervous to drive around without great stopping power and the thought of not getting started...
Thanks

I can appreciate the notion but as others mention it would be a bust. You'd need to make almost the entire floor transparent to get any real value out of that (and take out your seats lol). A better investment of your time would be to figure out armor underneath that prevents getting hung up. I've seen a couple of builds where basically the whole underside is plated and it should slide over almost anything. I think the transfer case was clocked to be flat, armor along the frame rails, and then armor from the frame rails to the rocker.

Without siphoning? You could run it 'til it dies I guess... why do you want to avoid removing the tank? Normally people drain it in order to get it out
