Yeah see my skid was so bent that it didn't even rattle. Just straight up made a horrible noise like something in the drive train was messed up. I might straighten it out this weekend and reinstall it with extra spacers. I feel naked without my skids!
My tires are down to like 65-70% tread already due to the crazy mileage I put on my jeep. Next set will be 34's with tube fenders. The 34's might not see this XK though. It will be gone in January.
Oh here we go with the XK gonna be gone again!! hahaha.. Adam besides front bumper and rear part of fender flare, will Ill be ok with pinch weld mod or will I need to do with you did?!!?
Yeah can I fit 33s with pinch weld and spacers

Haha.. I got a text a 5:30 this morning from my brother saying he sold his gf's lifted Chevy and got $5500 cash for it last night. He is going to hold onto that and come up with the other $3000 between now and January and buy my Jeep. He has three kids and just got his gf pregnant so he needs a 7 pass vehicle. So we shall see what happens. I dont believe anything till there is cash in my hand.
Andrew. It all depends on what type of tire you are going with (MT/AT...not all tires are the same specs). If you want to run a 33 inch MT then the pinch weld will have to be addressed. What I did to mine isnt bad, I just only did the first half and never got around to welding in new sheet metal to finish it off.
Im going MTRs regardless of which size I do, but I cant do the pinch weld like you did, just dont have the knowledge or experience with that..
I would really like to do 33s when these duratracs are done. I wont be able to do a SL for quite some time so i ld be happy with 33s lol

When my tires are dead im going woth 35's

Keep in mind though I have been modding my jeep for the past five plus years which helped me fit 33's. I have the rear AC delete mod done, cut out the entire pinch weld area, trimmed my front flares, did the sal bumper mod, JBA UCA's, added 1/2 rear lift spacers and extended rear bump stops with a perfect back spaced wheels.
Now with a superlift you wouldn't have to do any of those mods other than find a good back spaced wheel for 33's
Yea Im not deleting rear ac, the other things I could probably do.. Depends on how crazy I feel and what the bonuses look like!!
Wow things really got heated in that ROTM over there hahahahaha!! Congrats man, this guys got his panties in a bunch cause his LED tails and XD series wheels that everyone has (And I want!) didnt win him the ROTM. Good deal I say we all enter next mth hahahaha
We should. It's open now! Lol I'll get some nice pics this weekend
Yeah he got a little upset on that ROTM LOL!
I always see Adam on there and always voted for him; I figured I'd throw some pics up for fun lol and....well you seen the outcome!
Thanks for the group support guys! we stick together! :P!
Yeah by default cause no one else submitted. Every time I won was by default. No competition.
LOL hey a win is a win. and look at it like this everybody else was afraid to compete against you :D
I topped my tires off on Monday. The one dropped almost 10 PSI since then. I looked for any punctures and I don't see any. Maybe the valve was leaking air? I didn't feel any but I did tighten the valve. I'll fill it up later and we'll see.
I can't afford a new $240 tire! lol
Well I love the look of your XK Adam. I like anything blacked out LOL and the 33s are sweet........I want....
I do too man and i agree the 33s loon nice
Corey, check with the seat of the tire on rim, bead. Thats where a cpl of mine were leaking, when you air down dirt/mud cant get in there and cause a leak when you air back up, could be simple as that. To check it get a soapy spone and wipe around the tire, you will find your leak
I tend to not participate in those threads but the "LED lights and brake pads" comment almost made me spit out my soda lol. At least he's not one of those guys that list Mobile 1 oil" as a mod hahaha.
Andrew I dare you to submit for ROTM and list the following mods:
Napa brake pads
Synthetic engine oil
RainX washer fluid (the green stuff)
Febreze vent air freshener
Edit: but don't actually do that.... I'm not a fan of forum wars and just poking fun.
hahaha You must know to well cause I like nothing more than getting into debates and making people look, dumb! I am going to submit for ROTM, Im going to hit some local mud trails and hope I dont get a flat, and submit some pics. Thats all after my "snorkel" research Saturday..
lmao @ you guys
Andrew, I will check what you said. I intend to wash the tires tonight to check for Plasti-Dip damage anyway lol...
Im going to enter and put these mods:
Mopar OEM Brake Pads and Rotors
Gas Engine
Auto Transmission
Leather Interior
Tail AND Head Lights!!
F&R Bumpers
Sweet! My bad about being an a$$, I got in a politics debate with people who 1) know nothing about politics and 2) nothing about debate and following arguments with support or facts, so Im a bit jacked up right now!! But I must say Corey, that XK has come a long ways man, I need to step my game up!!!
haha yeah Corey your XK has came a long ways since i started following and im counting down the days still i can get my hands on mine again, i got a laundry list of mods that will be going on it.
Thanks guys, the credit card is still hurting though lol hence why I need to take a break :)
Sliders will be an x-mas gift and hopefully a roof rack for my spare. Other then that, I only really want the front guard and then I intend to save my money for awhile to either upgrade my lift with OME or wait for SL.
Nice plan, Ive got a lot up my sleeve and it all depends on the tier bonus I hit. MTRs are 1st, bumper mod of some sort, headers, sliders, SA Diff Cover!!
haha yeah all of my mods are going to be purchased with my reenlistment bonus. and is there any word on the SA diff cover, know when it will be available?
LOL yeah they look pretty nice and i plan on painting it, just trying to figure out a nice accent color for my XK. I want something different seems like everybody has blue, red, green, or PINK skids :P
dang man how long you been in? this is my first reenlistment. im a yougen, just got about 2 and a half years in
Damn thats a good chunk of time!
