Thanks. I bought the truck in september of 2006. It's still not finished but it's pretty darn close. You can see from the picture I posted there are no locks in the doors. There were actually no door latches as well. It's more finished now as it's only missing the triangle vent windows which we've finally found and should have them in hand and installed by the end of the year and the headliner isn't on yet(though it's sitting in the garage). Other than that It's finished. It's got a 460 cu inch v8 which wasn't an option in 66 (we've had to do some fab work to get it to fit correctly). We replaced all the emblems which were of the 6 cylinder hood lightning bolt which is now the intertwined v8 symbol for the new motor, and side twin I beam emblems with new ones. It had no tailgate or engine when I bought it (only paid 500 for it) or bed for that matter(it was wooden originally but i've used diamond plate instead of wood and rhino lined it). Has disc brakes now, power steering, and Independent coil on shock front suspension. I've also hooked up the air connections to have A/C but I don't have the underdash unit yet. Everything is as original as possible minus the new stereo and aftermarket Crager rims.

I got around to putting on my 2meter antenna on the rear of the XK and installing my radio inside.
If you haven't guessed yet I'm also a Ham Radio Operator.

Just ordered some 1.5" spacers yesterday. I ordered them from rough country. They are 5x5" and will obviously fit the commander but they only advertise on the website that it fits a JK. Funny how people don't even bother to advertise jeep products sometimes that fit something other than a wrangler. I wrote to them about it since it fits at least 4 different recent jeep models.

Put the spacers on tonight. It looks much better now. I'll put up some pictures tomorrow in the daylight. Also put new front pads and new rear rotors. Now all brake components are new. The front pads werent worn all the way but i figured while i had the wheels off I would go ahead and freshen them up. The rear rotors were a tad warped and made a horrendous off and on squeal at 0-5mph when advancing slowly at stop signs and speed lights. Now I don't have to hear that any more.

Here's some pics of the XK with the New Rough Country 1.5" spacers.
I have no rubbing issues at all while turning full lock.
