    I did complete replacing the roof rails on Friday afternoon.








    Once I get the roof rack back form the welding shop I will put that back up there as well.

    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.
