The storage is one reason I am considering it - the wife and kids go crazy crammed in the XJ, and that's with more than half the camping gear on the roof rack (where the full size spare is also right now).

Having rear seats with headrests is also a biggie - safety "experts" say kids should be in boosters with backs unless the seat comes up to their ears and the kids hate it.

Thanks again for the insight everyone.

 

Yup, I have hauled a queen sized mattress inside the D2 with the seats down, among other large things that I thought would never go in the thing. It's a lot of room lol

 

MC04DII no need to pull the valve covers you can see the lower head bolt by the exhaust manifolds. If it had ARP stud kit it would have nuts not bolt heads. If your lucky and see anytype of marking in paint on the head bolts that could be sign that they were done at some point.
