Looks good! I always loved the rubi Moab wheels.
thx guys
What is the backspacing on those? Is it the same like XK wheels?

Yes. I was at a dealer that was selling a set of Moab take offs and on the inside of the wheel was stamped the same offset as my oem wheels. But you have to run some sort of spacer for them to fit due to the lip on the inside of the wheel
Yes the same bs as our oem ones so still need the spacer but now no more bent rims on her.
I pulled this out of my tire lastnight.
I it made the tire go flat in under a min & it had pierced the tire in between the lugs in the tread not the sidewall. Went to get fixed per my road side serivce that came with the tire. The tire place said it can not be fixed & that I need a whole new set of tires for 1600.00. They are telling me that my tires will be off by 3 to 5 /32's and because we have a AWD that a whole new set is needed.
I know with in reason they are correct but not to the point I need a new set. Have had these tires less than a year, what a Crock!!!!!!

Ouch! Thats some bad luck... that thing had to hit the tire just right to cause a flat.
Side note... $1600 for tires? What the hell kind of tires are you running?? lol
Yeah really?? My 33 inch MT/Rs were only $1200 and if you were running MT/R's that would have never happened. Kevlar FTW!!
Find a real tire place that can shave the tire. Just buy 1 new one and have them match it to the others.
Ive shaved my bfgs smooth again cause they were getting tough to balance. They are perfect now.
I told them no & said to warranty out the one that popped. It was @ Les Shawb tires. The tires were close to 300 each, Copper Mt's. I will look into shaving it down to match the rest.
$300 for a Cooper MT??? Wow next time go with MT/R's which are cheaper and a better tire. You wouldnt have had that problem to begin with!
my next set will be either durtracs or MT/R's not happy with the ones I have, plus having a wheel weight pop my tire does not make me feel confident with the tire strength.
Good choice.
2 days ago I ordered a bunch of items for the XK.
Full OME HD Setup Springs, Struts, Shocks
Adjustable Trackbar
Strut Spacer 1/4"
JBA UCA's
Locking console.
I will be painting the Struts, Springs, Shocks, Trackbar, Rear diff cover, and the strut tower red to match the XK
I will also be taking the custom spacer made by Matt & using that with the rear springs.
I will also be Plasicdip the moab's black with a red ring. I also have a set of red lugnuts to put on.
With the XK being Red with limo tint it should look great.
it's going to be a lot of work, but feel it will be well worth it.
Sounds nice. Cant wait to see it.
Gonna be awesome man, can't wait to see it done!

Install the adjustable track bar, then center the rear diff.
Replace all the broken plastic rivets.
The Rear Diff Serivce
Reinstall the Rear diff guard, along with the strut brace.
Also wanted to say A big thanks to 1USMC from TX he is up here working in Seattle right now & came by my place to help me get this work done. Love this group
Awesome man, can't wait to see the pics :)
Make sure you put a few miles on it before the alignment and articulate the front suspension a little.
Saw this afterwards.
Drove 5 miles & then got it aligned. They said all was good except the toe was out.
Let ask you this why?
If you don't let the front end articulate a little and settle properly before the alignment it might be off a little once it does settle. You should be fine though
Thank you for the info.

Well I will be with out the XK until thur. I had dropped it off so my fab guy can take the front bumper off & take his measurements in order to start on my front bumper w/winch and D rings for tow points. Will also have a front skid tied in with it. I will post updates along the way.
Looking forward to this!
