    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.

    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.
