    Today was kind of a busy day for the XK and I.. started by rotating the tires, backs came straight forward fronts went to opposite corners, tires are non directional so this seemed the best idea. I also did the passenger side pinch weld mod or I should say re-did since the guy tried doing it before me just sludge hammered the s**t out of it!! Did the best I could since it was a mangled mess, no more rubbing which is the that matters. Greased up the caliper slides to prepare for winter/off roading. Also finally got around to cover the plastic rocker mounting holes with black grip tape and painting the rest with black bedliner. Came out really nice, I didnt like the green grip tape so went with the black and Im glad I did. My CB also came in Friday so I put that in the Jeep as well, just need to figure out how to mount antenna down the road. Here are some shots of todays events, didnt take pics of the pinch weld but here is the rest..

    Had new Cooper Discoverer HTP's installed at Discount Tire Co... sadly in the OEM size. My Revo 2's were shot to hell making it unpleasant to drive in the rain. Then I posted my cars.com ad But I've decided to pick up an '11-'13 Dodge Challenger R/T; 6 speed of course!

    Finished fixing the exhaust leak that I had coming from the drivers side manifold. The two rear bolts were snapped right off. I installed a new manifold, new gasket and all new bolts. Total cost was around $120. I should get the XK back tomorrow night from getting the doors fixed. He was starting to paint them as I was leaving

    LOL how the heck did I miss this?

    Looks great bro, how do you like it? I think it looks SO much better without the plastic crap (until sliders)

    Makes the XK look taller as well
