Guess since I am still a lifetime member, I will share a photo of my new rig. It's been done for some time like this, but work has me chasing my tail and what little time I do get off I try and stay away from the computer.

Very nice! If I ever have to give up the XK, I'm going to get something like your setup.

If I ever do downsize from the XK this is the direction I will be going as well.

Really nice

In about 10 years the XK will have run its course and the kids will be old enough to ride in a vehicle without a top on it.... hopefully they'll have a V8 available in a 4 door wrangler by then and that'll be my next jeep!

Agreed. I think when the XK is finished I will look at my other jeep options lol i.e. JK or WK

Honestly? I miss the XK for several reasons. The JK is nice and the new V6 is pretty amazing, but there is still something about the XK that felt more refined and stable. I think the IFS on the XK blows away the solid front axle on the JK's. I took it on a 4500 mile excursion to bring my daughter to University in NY, then to MI and finally home. It did well on an MPG basis, but still - not the same comfort. I will say its pretty amazing off road. I don't think I will ever have the nads to test it to it's limits. - OH and my daughter would not talk to me for a few weeks after selling the XK hahahahaha!
