What did I do with my XK?
Yesterday I dropped my XK off at the body shop for a few "touch ups". I had 3 self-inflicted wounds on it. I shouldn't be allowed to hook onto a trailer.
One was a scrape on the front plastic bumper fascia on the corner from rubbing my wooden fence when I had the trailer on and was picking up branches from a tree we cut down. I couldn't quite make the turn and couldn't back up without jack-knifing the trailer so I just pushed through. It was not really bad...just traded paint with the fence.
The tailgate had a bruise from when I backed my tractor off the trailer with the hitch disconnected. Also not real bad but worse than the front. The third is the most recent. A couple of months ago, I had the trailer on my XK and my wife had a bunch of ladies coming over for bridge and I had to move the trailer. Got in a hurry backing up and jack-knifed it into the rear quarter panel.
Got tired of the shabby looks, so in she went for a $1000 spa treatment. The folks at the body shop said this is not so unusual. One guy who jack-knifed his, picked it up and came back later in the month for the same thing.
Edit to add: I think I need that roll cage that Doc posted up recently.
Paint the bumpers like I did and you can fix them for free :) or stay away from the trailer LOL
Took someone's to the car wash for a wash & wax and then a vacuum and put one of those tree car fresheners in it, almost like new but not quite.
I put a Steel Armadillo Decal on mine!
Looking forward to adding one to mine as well! https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png
Xk helped my buddy move across Houston today.
Undercoated everything, hope it prevents any rust
Drove it for the first time in a month.. took it out to the desert and did some shooting with my brother in law.
Finally washed mine today!! Just the outside though, and I'm picking out a good spot to mount my new SA stickers https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png
