looks good

 

painted it today. hopefully i have time to throw it on tomorrow and see how it looks

 

I'm think it came out decent. i'll find out if it rattles any tomorrow on my way to work. now i gotta find another project to keep me busy

 

looks good, i say bumpers would keep you busy for a little

 

if it rattles throw some weather strippin underneath

 

did the thought of, when you open your hatch the gas can needs to come off cross your mind? haha, it looks good tho, but I wouldnt open the trunk without taking it off, might leak and eat your paint

 

thank you captain obvious, yes it did occur to me that the can will be coming off when i open the hatch. i'll just unstrap it when i want it off. my shocks can barely hold up the hatch as it is ... hmm maybe i should come up with a 'gas can ejecto' button.

 

Did you put a lock on it ? And it looks great man... good job.. :}

 

Looks good ! But just outta curiosity, is it legal? I mean, if ya got hit in the rear (Hope ya don't) I would think it could cause some major trouble. But that's just the 'Dad' in me.....

I guess if I did something like that I'd have to go with the 'Shmo' route....sorry bud, but it DOES look good!

 

legality shmegality... looks good though something different. ever think about lifting your jeep?

 

nah i dont have a lock on it yet. i'm still trying to find a good sturdy strap to use that has a way to tighten and lock it. i want it free too.
and the whole legal comment, i know quadratec sells a gas can mount that hooks up directly to those rear tire mounts leaving the gas can hangin' out the back... but then again maybe those are meant just for offroadn'

i think ima have to look into it. i can't afford any tickets.

 

oh and i have a 3.5'' tuff country lift sittin in my apartment right now but i gotta wait on my buddy to help me put it on. i live in an apt and do not have my own garage

if i had a garage my xj would probably look like an abomination lol

 

I had this exact idea last night before searching it on here. I was thinking, if the can is empty most of the time its a non issue. My hatch props could easily hold an empty can up there. So I could have the look when I want and the function when I need. I never wheel anywhere that I even come close to needing extra fuel though...so my GF is giving me **** for going to a bunch of trouble to be a 'poser.' How badly does it rattle?

 

it does not rattle. i can see the top of the handle through my rear windshield, besides that i can't tell that its there. good luck making your own

 

If you fill it there is no chance the props will hold it is there?
