    Im just like you. I like to take the XK places that others would never take their $35,000 + vehicle. Most of the time others can't believe how capable the Commander is. My XK has seen beter days. It doesnt look half as nice as other forum members due to all the scratches and dents from off roading.

    That's why I painted mine it was looking pretty shabby.

    I think they missed out on what enthusiasts (sp?) really care about. Oh well, looking forward to your new ride

    I saw in the manual where the XK (w/QDII) has a "limp" mode it automatically switches into when something breaks. You may have to winch in a few spots, but you'll get home.

    Yep, when the front and rear wheel sensors get a different speed reading it will lock the trans into whatever gear it is in. Stop and restart to clear. Ie when you do a CV or rear driveshaft and then the driven tyres spin trying to get out etc.

    Same as if you get mud into the wheel speed sensors of the diff actuation switches. Limp mode, trans locks into gear used.



    Well the work has begun, Stu has a couple of Mega JK builds on the go so it wont be a quick process, but im hoping to get over to his joint early next week to give a hand. We arent using spacers so we have to make up some new rear coils and we may even relocate the rear shock mounts higher to increase our chock choices, but likely bilstein remotes.

    Will have some pics early next week! If anyone still has their WK and hasnt sold it......
