My driver sides windows got smashed by some ignorant punk while I was parked in VALET of Trump Plaza and took my gps, not my radar, not my change, cds, or back up pair of oakleys.. Our drivers window is tempered glass like the windshield cause of its size, they tried to smash but it would break, so the smashed out the rear glass and quarter glass to get in, then climbed inside thru the window scratching the door and seat, and remind you this happened all in Trump Valet.. The cost was $1300 which I was reimbursed for but still pissed me off.. i would have rather given the idiot $50 that he would get for the used GPS, just all that for nothing. Here are some pics if you didnt see them before

This was not even 2 weeks after I got it, I still think it was someone who worked there cause I paid cash when I checked in for the rooms for over $1000, so they probably thought I had some nice things, of course they denied it
OOOHHHHH no it didnt get taken care of without any issues, I had to fight with them cause they said they were only going to pay $560 as thats what their insurance adjuster said it would cost, I was out of pocket for 2.5 weeks until I finally threatened to sue them and had my buddy who is a lawyer call in representing me.. I also notified every news station, paper and any local news product of what happened and sent copies to their corporate office. It got ugly but eventually they cut the check..
even if they did anything they took or didnt take they would get change for, is it really worth smashing 3 windows, ignorance just makes me turn ignorant.. oh well its over and done with and now I have aftermarket windows that will never look like factory
If it makes you feel better I didn't know they were different. ;)
I didn't realize that was your jeep Andrew

Hey Adam did they approve your brothers loan yet? It shouldn't take more then 48 hours ;p
Who knows.. Lol at this point I don't even care!!! I love my XK and it's getting built even better in the next few weeks. I'm sure he won't get approved.
Called Richmond Gear today. Got my questions answered! We're good to go
I can install the locker in mine and yours. Lol We will get you hooked up bro!
I talked to my brothers girl friend today (he's buying it for her) and she said they applied for the loan. They both have ****ty to no credit. I think I'm keeping my xk either way.. Haha
Yeah you have put a lot of work into it man I am happy your thinking of keeping it (I don't want to be the only QTII either!)
I am hoping to make the next RC trip because I have weddings in October....but I'll have full skids!!!
EDIT: I am glad to hear you can put the locker in! can't wait to see it
The only weekend that I can't go in October is the 12-14. I have to play Army. Any other weekend is good.
Let me test out the locker in mine the we will work on getting you one. Hell I'll install it in Rausch creek parking lot if need be!
The 20th weekend is the one wedding and the other one may be in another month but ill double check
So maybe the 28th??
Like I said before I wont be wheeling on Sunday but I can make it on Saturday in October, I say towards the end of the month, Ill be in the 'Burgh 10/7 but after that I think Ill be clear
If Saturday is best for you guys we can do that.... especially if Sal makes the trip! Then I may wheel Sunday too if my friends who work Sat are going to come up
I say we get there Friday the 26th and wheel the 27th!!! I'm in for that weekend. So I'm definitely going. Who is joining me??
count me in for that weekend
Nice ill open a thread!!!
If I'm at home I'll be there. If I'm stuck on the road I'll try to get something close and at least show up that's all I can promise.
Haha I like how this thread has gone in so many different directions. But it doesnt matter because it will end with pictures of the powertrax no-slip installed in the rear of the XK!
It's funny because I see that a thread has a new post, and when i click on it I never know what to expect! lol
A bunch of dudes with OCD mixed with some ADD
Not really because the only other lockerr that can be installed in the XK is an ARB. Your talking over $800-$900 just for the locker, then you need to purchase the compressor too. Then the entire rear end needs to be tore apart and set properly. Not something the normal mechanic can do. I can install a lunch box locker in less than 2 hours and get the same outcome as any other locker. Power to both rear wheels!!
I have an ARB in the rear of my TJ. Freaking love it as long as i dont pinch the line. I thought you were quoting a 5-800 dollar lunchbox. I put a spartan up front of mine for $200.00 Just read it wrong, my bad.
If I recall correctly, the powertrax no-slip is around $400. I dont think thats all that bad. I would love to get an ARB in the rear but the money saved on the No-Slip will be going into the purchase of a new transfer case.
When I looked around I thought they were closer to $500. Regardless though you're right, there really aren't many options. I'm used to GM trucks where every manufacturer makes a locker and I could get a E-locker for ~$700. If our only other option is $900 & requires an air source, then $500 for a lunchbox locker aint so bad lol
Exactly. Plus I really don't feel like tearing the whole rear apart to install an ARB. That would be depressing knowing new gears aren't going in at the same time.
