The pics aren't greatest, but I took them in my garage with the door shut. The inside lights are the spot pattern and the outside lights are the flood pattern.
I plan on adding fogs and backup lights soon.

Once I get the roof rack back form the welding shop I will put that back up there as well.
Looks great man! Gonna have to post that in the roof rack thread.
Loaded up the bikes for tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay
The one on the left was bought @ Ace Hardware, its a spacer. The one on the right is a 1/2 water pipe that was cut to fit. All of the hardware (except unistruts) was bought at Ace Hardware.
Thanks again all. I had forgot what it was like to have a newborn around again lol.
Congrats BonesWK
Threw on some new front pads and rotors. While I have run into rotors being rusted on to the hub, I didn't realize the wheels could do the same to the rotors. When I went to swap my tires front to back, the rears were actually stuck onto the rotors. Thank God for power blaster and a five pound sledge hammer. ( I was prepared for the front rotors). :) Might be a good idea to coat them in anti-seize, I did before re-installing them. I'm really glad I didn't find this out on a busy highway, on a dark night.
I got some new 245/70/17 Hankook DynaPro ATM's put on my stock XK, and I Plasti-Dipped my wheels yesterday. Discount Tire had a $100 rebate going this weekend, so I got new tires sooner then I was expecting.
I originally had 245/75/17 but I was worried about hitting that pesky UCA bolt.
After brakes ans sway bar end links. I took the XK to the movies Old skool!

We saw Avengers, by the time dark shadows was going to start, It was about 11PM and we called it a night. Still, it was a lot of fun. Most states still have drive in movie theaters, Just google drive in movies with your state. I'm betting you'll find one within an hour drive. (unless your really out in the sticks somewhere).
Took off the drivers side fender and put the old style back on too match the new bumper up too.
