Pretty productive day.
Fixed the rubbing from the Belly Guard. Due to the belly guard connecting with the suspension skid it would have needed quite a few washers for those bolts to actually give clearance from the cat. converter; so we went to home depot and bought (2) nuts for each bolt and it gave it plenty of clearance for when I smack it again.
My tire was leaking from the middle of the tread line from a 2" screw. Pulled it out and plugged the hole so thats all taken care of as well.
Trimmed the bolts on the hitch so the spare would clear. It did clear the bolts but the tire is just too large to clear that metal bracket that is right near the track bar. My step-dad wouldn't take no for an answer, so he rigged some plywood and made a mount so the tire is very snug and no longer moves under there. Drove 45 mins back home and no noise like before so the rig will work until I eventually throw it on the roof w/ the rola roof rack.
Good day :)
EDIT: Discovered multiple tree scratches on the XK!!! it will need a buff job soon lol *cough andrew*

2 shots with my new headlight bulbs and yellow fog. Of course, pictures don't do much justice. The headlights are more white then stock. The mixture of lo's + fogs when driving is awesome, have yet to try them in rain but its supposed to rain here this week sometime so I will report on that later.

Looking at the picture below, the yellow shining on the side of my fog area, is pretty much the color of the light, pure yellow.

06XK... not in a million years. Your saddle brown interior and green exterior is rare, let alone for your model year. Not to mention the work you put into it. Years from now when you are old (older than sin itself.... Or Sal, lol)... This decision will rank among one of the greatest or worst things you did in your life, lol. You had to have seen a response like this coming from one of us, lmao.
