What did you do to your XK today!?

[Matt]

Trans temp? 170-180ish

[Sal-XK]

Engine coolant temp I can't monitor the trans yet I was idling for about 5 minuets after running 60MPH for a bit and was up to 215 sitting and about 205 running at 60MPH. I have it idling now to see how hot it gets.

Run the heat at full blast for a while to work out any air pockets that formed when you cut those lines. You may have to let it sit and cool for a while, then run it with the heat on again in the morning to purge the rest of the system.

Ok cool the fan kicked on at 218 I think it was and cooled me down to 206 it's about 71 outside right now.

Im good thanks man. I need to make these fit on just the 2" lift trying to keep my center of gravity as low as possible and I think the fronts are about good. I'll stuff the rears tomorrow and start on those next.

I also got my track bar installed today. I can't adjust it while it's on the jeep its still 1/4" off so I have to take it back off tomorrow make it longer and put it back on.

^Can't you just undo the end with the adjustment, spin it out to whatever you need and put it back on? (with the jeep on jack stands of course)

Edit: maybe not. I haven't installed one yet so who am I to speak, lol.

Not really the size wrench needed to tighten this thing I would never get it in the space available.

I got mine in today. How do you know where to set it? Are there increment markings on it?

No I just guessed and made it longer. To get the driver side bolt out I had to jack the jeep up by the frame rail in back a little bit so the spring wood open up but you need to take the passenger bolt out first. You'll see what I mean when your down there. Just measure how it's off and make it that much longer then the stock one. You'll need to jack one side up a little to get the holes to line up once you do that as well.
