It can be done; the load floor of an XJ to the ceiling is exactly 36.63"...it took some shoving and zero air pressure to make it fit. I spent the week on the Rubicon with a buddy; the rig weighed in at 5000 lbs without us in it and made it the 2000 miles round trip with only a few hickups (toasted O2 sensor, air filter, etc). I'm amazed at what XJs can do...they never cease to amaze me.
After fixing the O2 sensor, hitting the throttle body with some carb cleaner, and replacing the air filter, I got 15 mpg. Not too shabby considering the terrain I was covering on the way home, from Nor Cal to Seattle through the Siskiyou Mountains.
On a personal note, here I am using my Father's Coleman stove on the second anniversary of his death. He found this exact same stove abandoned at the enterance to the Rubicon Trial in 1972, driving his Toyota FJ55. He never ventured past the Gate Keeper, but the stove has served our family admirably and without fail for 35 years. Note the JPFreek T-Shirt.
