What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2012

That looks excellent - I imagine you sanded it down some before painting.

Thanks. I used a wire brush first then a little lite sand paper then the paint. With the lift and larger tires I could see it and it bugged me.

Loaded up the bikes for tomorrow.

Where do you get the metal tube from?

Sorry for the delay
The one on the left was bought @ Ace Hardware, its a spacer. The one on the right is a 1/2 water pipe that was cut to fit. All of the hardware (except unistruts) was bought at Ace Hardware.

Thanks again all. I had forgot what it was like to have a newborn around again lol.

Congrats BonesWK

Threw on some new front pads and rotors. While I have run into rotors being rusted on to the hub, I didn't realize the wheels could do the same to the rotors. When I went to swap my tires front to back, the rears were actually stuck onto the rotors. Thank God for power blaster and a five pound sledge hammer. ( I was prepared for the front rotors). Might be a good idea to coat them in anti-seize, I did before re-installing them. I'm really glad I didn't find this out on a busy highway, on a dark night.

Once you get all 5 lug nuts off, just give the top of the tire a GOOD kick. It will come right off everytime.

I got some new 245/70/17 Hankook DynaPro ATM's put on my stock XK, and I Plasti-Dipped my wheels yesterday. Discount Tire had a $100 rebate going this weekend, so I got new tires sooner then I was expecting.

I originally had 245/75/17 but I was worried about hitting that pesky UCA bolt.

AHh man friggin sweet!!!!!!!!!!

I miss the drive in movies. There was one I use to go to in high school and I believe it's still there. So what movies did ya watch?

[CT-riverrat]

We saw Avengers, by the time dark shadows was going to start, It was about 11PM and we called it a night. Still, it was a lot of fun. Most states still have drive in movie theaters, Just google drive in movies with your state. I'm betting you'll find one within an hour drive. (unless your really out in the sticks somewhere).

Took off the drivers side fender and put the old style back on too match the new bumper up too.
