Yeah, this will be the biggest project I undertake - I'm having a VERY hard time deciding between a 4-6" lift or a XCASE swap to make this puppy laugh all the way to the top of the hill. I'll have to consult my Sensai - haha!Both will probably cost about the same 3-4k
TC first! Then the lift

I noticed after my first drive with the new shocks a 'clunking' which I kinda knew what it would be but I wanted to see what it would do. I don't know if the XK's have this problem. But some of the wheel well plastic gets awfully close to the shocks. Anyway, anytime I went down a dip, where the shocks have to respond quickly - The plastic would actually have noticeable contact with the coilovers. So I had to trim this down. I ran out of Daylight to tighty this one up, but I'll get to it tomorrow... Oh I will!
The Issue:
As you can clearly tell, plastic is too close. And yes, I can see that rubber boot slowly making it's way down the shock - I'll have to consult Sal with that one - because I'm not pulling that side shock off, lol. Was a PITA
Solution!
Dremmel Tool, extension cord, power inverter
A minor set back:
So I've removed the majority of what I need but have not actually removed the piece yet. Well I let my hand down briefly, and tap the disk on the tire and it snaps in half. I kinda laughed because stuff like this happens to me all the time.
But I was prepared!!!
Nearly done
As I said, I ran out of daylight, but I plan to tighten up the 'finish' so that it looks a little more professional.
I purchased the quick release system for my dremel look into it its pretty nice.
I vaguely remember your Dremmel tool - I'll have to check it out again when I come up there - hopefully SOON!
DUDE!!!! Those tires look awesome!!!! Man, I cant wait to go back to URE and see it perform! SO jealous of the jeep now.
And I have the same problem with that plastic. I just haven't purchased a dremel yet, lol.
