It wouldn't be fair anyways cause I would be locked up front too with a QD II diff
I think so!!
Lol I was wondering if you'd see the Sal-signal I had pointed at the sky!
Tomorrow list at Matt's garage before some football...
Spacers
Intake
Hitch mod (possibly?)
A few more mods on Corey's XK are complete.. :cool:
Here are some recent pictures.
I ended up grabbing a spare DuraTrac. It is only rubbing a little on (1) bolt so I'll have to trim that but no rush. Removed the plasti-dip from the lug nuts and I may keep it chrome or buy black lugs not sure yet. Wheel Spacers are on and it is definitely a different! and no more rub! (Thanks Tristan)
Other then that it was a fun Sunday w/ Matt and his family and some great food + beers!

NOW that's finally a sweet looking XK!

Looking good
Thanks guys...I think the 4x front guard, sliders, and rola roof basket will really give that extra pop :) I will hopefully have all of these by next summer
I'll keep my eye out for used roof racks. Might be able to snag a rola up for $100
Thanks ;)
Looks great! Keep it up!

Looks good man, and your welcome!
Your XK would look nice with an American Rebel Rear diff cover!
So its looking like sliders are a definite for my x-mas/bday present. Still have not decided on SA or 4x Guard.
I may have some left over funds before the next RC trip for a front guard or roof basket to throw the DuraTrac spare up there but we will see how things go. I am excited to get sliders.
On a side note, I am hearing a noise that happens every so often. I don't want to describe it because its hard but I did crawl under and pull/tug on most things that could come loose and no give...so i'll keep playing the guessing game!
EDIT: I plasti-dip'd the plastic piece under the front bumper where the OEM chrome plate goes; it looks much better black with my grill guard ;)
"when" does the noise happen? And try to describe it.... clunk, grind, etc?
Off large drops going a decent speed I'd say? its no noise from the hitch that I can tell. I intend to remove the hitch piece tomorow just to be certain.
It's more of a clunk like something may be loose
Thats a better noise then the sound my transfer case is making in 4 high..lol you just need to lockate where its coming from. Im willing to bet its an easy fix.
I hope so lol I checked the Drive Shaft bolts since we took it off when doing the gas tank skid but I remember matt tightening them real good. He has a much better eye and ear for this stuff so we can always check it out in 2 weeks up RC.
Check the spare tire.
The tire is tight and no wiggle. It is not rubbing on anything but (1) bolt from the hitch. I will double check it tomorrow. I may have not tightened it all the way due to the rubbing on the bolt....now that I think of that it may be what is making noise...
I feel like the XK is more stable when turning (especially sharp turns) with the spacers on...
Is this normal or is it just me thinking theres a difference when there's not? lol
lol
Who bailed Sunday?
So when I was about to leave RC I started my XK and heard a loud grind/shaking. Matt hopped in and we discovered it was my belly guard rubbing my exhaust (must have smacked it enough on trail 22 to move it up).
It is now getting on my nerves because it rubs anytime im on the gas. Shouldn't just (2) washers on the bolts closest to the passengers side give it enough clearance from the exhaust? or am I totally wrong and have to lower the entire thing with washers all around?
Washers should be fine.

Yup washers should be good man but depending on how much you bent it you might have to take it off and pound it back into shape.
It's actually not bent at all lol it just moved up....
You messed up Matt's awesome paint job!!
My belly skid was bent up from RC and actually touching the exhaust. So when I stepped on the gas the exhaust was digging into the skid making a horrible noise. When your inside the Jeep it sounded like it was coming from the t case
Mine rattles sometimes, Ill be doing the washers soon. Have things on my mind, like which direction Im going with the bumper and MTRs!! Since Ill be chopping up the bumper, I may get stupid and run 285s like Adam, so he cant be "big boy on campus"!!!
Lol I was thinking of doing 33s next time around also :o
