What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2013

[Matt]

traffic is closed to all BUT Jeeps - gotta go XK-represent!

Make sure you have that camera rolling... i want to see the video when the guy tells you to turn around because only Jeeps are allowed down the street! lol

The FINAL pieces for my CB install have arrived (and if anyone knows a GOOD spot to drill a hole in a firewall, SING OUT WITH PICTURES!!!), so that should be my day off (Monday) project!

PICTURES to follow...

Not so much what I did TO my XK, but what I did WITH my XK today. (Well, actually yesterday, and in 99 degree heat)

I yanked out two dead juniper trees/bushes. Two out of several others just died.

I rigged up webbing and a block to the weeping willow tree since I couldn't get an inline pull.


The little trees were only about five feet tall, but the Jeep was getting dragged a bit until the roots popped out like champagne corks. I guess pulling them up by hand was certainly not going to happen.

Well, today I had it washed for the first time since the Superlift went on! It's nice to see I still fit through the car wash.

Fresh wheel alignment was done. The tech said my steering rack is OK.

I also finally put on my 4xGuard belly skid in preparation for this Sunday's Rausch Creek trip! Yay!


More edits: Last week was an oil change and front diff oil change. A week or two prior new rear upper control arms went on.

Explored a level-b road toady. Need to get out and do some actual wheeling.

My XK's been severely neglected lately. Can't remember the last time I washed it. The kids "morning snacks" are taking over the floors lol (need to attach that with the shop vac).

Someday soon I hope to be able to start modding her and giving some TLC again.

While getting a new battery the pepboy mechanics said they now love commanders after seeing mine. I truly love still getting compliments all the time. Makes me feel like im riding around in a classic muscle car!!

Mines dead, sitting there collecting dust. Need to find time to put this starter in, sounds like a blast to do

Forgot to mention that I finally replaced the aFe cone filter the other week. Decided to just go ahead and buy ANOTHER, so I could thoroughly clean the first one, and let it dry for several days. Then I re-oiled it, and sealed it back in the bag the new one came in. Not a lotta miles (15k maybe) since i installed it, but that was almost 2 years ago - it NEEDED cleaning!

GOOD thing is, I've picked up about 1 - 1.5mpg, now that it can breathe again!

And I washed it, and Armor-All'ed the trim today!
