    Justin's Garage

    Current mod list

    Suspension
    Rocky road spacer lift
    Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts: set at .75"
    Bilstein 5125 rear shocks

    Wheels and Tires
    Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 255/75/17
    Spidertrax 1.5" spacers
    Pinch-weld mod



    I figured I would start my garage now that I'm modding my XK. I bought in Oct 2011 and have been daily driving it, I love having an suv over the cars I've had. It's been pretty stock since I've bought it except I took off the nasty pinstripe, chrome trik on the flares, and chrome grill....I really hate chrome.

    Its a 4.7L QTII.

    Lets start with some before pictures:




    Got tired of doing this

    So I bought this harborfreight trailer, its awesome


    So thats where it sits right now, but I have some mods ready to go on:

    255/75/17 MTR'S
    RR spacer lift
    Royal Purple 75w140 diff fluid
    Wagner brake pads
    Serp belt and tensioner

    Let the fun begin!

    Filled and drained my diff fluid (front and rear) with Royal Purple 75w140 synthetic today. Bungee corded two bottles at a time to my waste oil bucket so they wouldn't tip over. Note to self: the harborfreight fluid transfer pump is a giant pos, dont buy another one.

    Here's my contraption: lol

    Thanks guys.

    255/75, didn't want 285's at the moment and DTD had them at 235 each minus 50 instant savings minus 80 mail in rebate from Goodyear. Couldn't pass the deal up for $810 out the door!
