What did you do to your WK today!?

[ItsMeKO3]

It burns amber when lit. I'll try to get a pic of it lit today. Looks 10x IMO.

Replaced Front Driveshaft, and then booked it in to the stealership for all new front diff isolation bushes, apparently they are meant to have rubber in there??

I need to do mine. I need to call and ask how much. Im sure they are no good. Were you able to see them from underneath?

[valpacer]

Yeah with all the plates off you can see them. Little mirror Helps. Unfortunately only 1 i think is a bolt on, the others are press in, so its a diff out scenario.

I need to do my diff bushings as well. From what I understand you can do them without pulling the diff out. Just removing the driveshaft and letting the diff hang. When I finally do it I'll report back.

In keeping with the thread: I threw a Rola Rack on today that I picked up used.

[Sal-XK]

Nice rack

[ItsMeKO3]

Rack looks good. Where is your bull bar mounted? Tow hook mounts? I've been looking at different options for the front end. Just don't know how it would look on mine because its not lifted. I don't like it when the bar hangs way low.

Went out and test drove one today, a 2008 SRT8. There's something wickedly fun about a vehicle that size that can launch itself forward so quickly and so effortlessly. It's just not right, in a evilly sick awesome sort of way However, the loos of the third row and more importantly the loss of the off road capability removes this from acceptable replacement list for the Commander. Maybe when the wife's Audi needs replaced. I had her drive the SRT as well and I'm sure a seed has been planted in the back of her mind.

Hmmm Now that I think of it I need to replace the Wife's G35x, haven't driven a SRT Jeep, I think I will have to try it out now. I have driven the Trailblazer SS, is it anything like that?

[XK N00b]

I haven't driven the Trailblazer. The SRT Cherokee has the bucket seats that wrap around your sides just slightly more than your buckets in the xk, not enough to make it uncomfortable or awkward, but enough to make you feel secure in them. The ride is a little lower than your stock xk/wk would be and it has sport suspension, so it's a bit stiffer and rougher than a 4wd model, though not enough to deter a purchase. It drove very tame when I was reserved with it, it would work as a daily driver. The thrill though when you open up that 6.1L Hemi, it FORCES you to giggle like a little kid. The exhaust is nice and quiet when driven like a normal car just enough rumble that you know it's there and not be a distraction though when you get WFO, it resonates through the cab with authority. I really liked the SRT but I'm an off road kinda guy so my search for a commander continues but I will be pressuring the wife into an SRT when her Audi is due to be replaced Her former father-in-law has a 03 Roush Racing Edition F-150 Stepside, it's probably hanging around the same rung as a Lightning and I would put the SRT Jeep a notch above the Roush. The interior finish was even with what you'd find in a limited, with SRT logos stiched into the seat backs and on the gauges, tastefully done up.
