Yea but ill be retired from the Army in about 9 1/2 years. Can't beat that!
haha yeah that is a good chunk of time, i dont plan on being in that long, ill do about 10 and get out. and i just remember that im working with a NY Guard unit. i think they are the 101 ESB
Cleaned my tires and wheels. I didnt see any leak spots so we will see if the PSI drops again.....
On a lighter note, the plasti-dip held up from the RC trip. The only peeling is on the rim which is the easiest to touch up! So im happy about that.
Drove along side a 2005ish WK today. He had a 2" lift, shocks, sliders, tires and wheels from what I could see. Was nice seeing it around here because its rare!
He was totally checking the XK out!

Your reserve is there to make you feel better about jumping like a blanky for a child LMAO If my chute never opened I suppose I would of had time to pull the reserve but I had a opening shock then lost all lift then smacked the ground took about 3 seconds max and it was over. Minimum ATL night time combat jump no moon either so by the time I realized I was free falling again the ground was right there. I did do a text book PLF though hahahahah I think that's what saved me from serious injury or death. My injuries weren't to bad just bad enough were they said I had to ride a desk for the rest of my career so I bailed out took the medical and got out I just couldn't handle doing S1 or something like that just not my thing.
Hey corey how are you and your totally awesome fiance doing? Haven't heard from you in a while.
Or she ran over him with the XK :p
She sold his XK and banned his computer and cell phone privledges.. Lol
LOL poor corey!
lol You guys are crazy!
My fiance and I are better then ever, and we are planning our wedding in the Dominican Republic :)
I made her a promise I'd take a break from my jeep for a little while since I've dropped almost $3,000 in 4 months in it!! (It's hard but I am doing it!)
Thanks for thinking of me :P
That roof rack installed yet?
Stop slacking Corey!!! Im real close to getting a roof rack myself..
Lol im going to install it this weekend as well as using my new tool set!! To figure out if its the shock bushings making all of that rattling ;(

I had a horrible rattle in the rear, turned out to be the spare tire which is no longer there.. Id start there, looking forward to seeing pics of rack install
Definitely get that tire down. I know its not seated right.
And now you have a rack for it!
Yeah Im going too......I cant afford a mount or lock so ill have to strap the tire down on the rack for the time being

Only thing different from old photos are smoked taillights and chrome grab handles lol
Front pic is just smoked turn signals and yellow tinted fog lights.

Painted the Commander cut outs black to match the HEMI sign and overall look of the XK. This was Matts idea and it turned out great.
Not the best picture..

Looks great man! What method did you end up using??
And thanks for the props :cool:
Thanks man. I ended up using a very thing paint brush and Black Pearl touch-up paint. It seemed to work the best and I could just scrape off any imperfections with a razor blade. It still needs a 2nd coat but I love the way it pops and brings out the rest of the black on the XK. I need to get another Hemi badge for the other side of the hood to match.
great idea.
New Lift coming in December/January.
MMOME Lift? Matt's Modified OME Lift? lol...
Front: OME Springs, Struts, Matt's 1/2 Spacer, RRO UCA's
Rear: OME Springs, 2" RC Spacer
I think the front Struts and UCA's will be painted silver, and the rear springs silver.
Took advantage of warmer weather and painted Rear OME Springs. I wonder if painting front springs, struts, AND UCAs Silver will be too much? I think another forum member (sitesz?) Did it with yellow and I liked it.
Thoughts?

Looks good man.
You should've come over today..... could have painted your UCA's and given me some moral support too!
Yeah man I still feel bad for you lol If I wasn't as sick as I am I would have been down there. I have an Upper Respiratory Infection. Doc gave me some meds so I should be good before X-mas. I thought the UCA's weren't shipping until Monday? I sent (2) more cans of paint to your house btw lol the one can I got was messed up (It wasn't the weather) it sprays very bad.
The springs didn't come out perfect but I didn't care because they are going to get messed up and are hidden to the eye most of the time.
Need some updated pictures. Oh and you're officially taller than me finally, albeit with MY suspension parts, but still :p
lol I love it. It feels good to have a "real" suspension lift. I feel the difference and I love how much stiffer it is. Pep-boys denied me for an alignment because of the lift. Hopefully the guys who did my alignment before will have no issues. I sent them a message.
I will get some pictures of the new lift and post them up.
