Installing Bed Liner in the Cargo area..

OK, so here was the deal.  This is a 94 XJ, and like a lot of you I beat the back of my Jeep up.  So after the beating, and the spilling, I decided to get that old musty smelling rug out there and throw a few layers of bedliner down... I am sure there aree some that have done this already, but I thought I would do a write up for someone who was thinking about it...
Step 1.  I used a razor knife to cute the base of the cargo area carpet out. After doing so, you should have your base panel, with your factory color showing.  Using a angle grinder with a wire wheel I went ahead and roughed up and even took a lot of the paint off of it, leaving a bare exposed surface.  It should look  something like this without the rust (took me four months to finish due to the temperature).
The one thing I noticed about the floor of the jeep is that it is not very thick.  You may want to tack a thiucker piece  of steel down to increase the payload...  But keep in mind, it is a Jeep...lol
Just another picture.
