Well had to settle for a cheaper bedliner, got all my holes patched up. And open a drain hole plug to get to the tc stud I broke, ill drop my tc soon. The rest of the bedliner will go on tomorrow.

I was already to do a repair on the XJ. I researched and found out how to do it, knew what I needed ,and had it verified. I ran into a major issue......I need to cut threw the water pump inlet tube and have not a clue as to what I can use or if I can do it. Is anyone going to be in Annapolis that can cut this tube? or suggest what I can use? Jake is really busy with work and his own XJ issues and I need this minor issue fixed so I can get back on the road. I'm 98% sure I can do this by myself.
I'm going to cut the tube below the bend and that will leave the part that is bolted to water pump
Remove the bolted piece and replace with 5/8 hose barb x 3/8 MNPT brass nipple
get a long enough piece of 5/8 heater hose to attach to water pump and engine, clamp and finished
I also need to replace the lower heater hose by removing 2 clamps and replacing with 5/8 heater hose, clamp and finished
Am I missing anything?
