Re: Jake's 99 XJ continuing build
Nice work! So those bolts just pinch the metal between the rain gutters? I would throw something with a little bit of substance down like that textured bedliner in a spray can

Yep, just clamps the gutter. I shook the whole jeep by holding the rack, no flex or displacement of the rack relative to the jeep.
Do you have any experience with the rattle can bed liner? I've never used it before but it does seem like it'd be much more durable than ordinary paint-- especially if its anywhere close to the legit bed liner I've seen.

Re: Jake's 99 XJ continuing build
I've used rattle can bed liner a bunch, stuff works great. I've painted bumpers, brush bars, roof bars, and diff covers with it and had great success. I will say you need to make sure the surface you're painting is completely rust free or it starts to show signs of rust again real quick. The bumper I painted with it (about five years ago now) has been sitting exposed to the elements in my parents' back yard for at least two years and at last check was barely showing any signs of rust, and zero flaking/chipping whatsoever.

Sweet, do you by any chance remember what brand you used?

98% done, pretty happy with it. Just have to paint my clamps and cut down my clamp hardware. And figure out how to retrofit the half complete factory fog light harness so I can use the factory switch.
Welded all the uprights and its rock solid now. Finally started making some decent welds to the conduit as well:
