    AndyB's Garage

    I never really considered starting a garage thread because I figured I'd just do a couple things and be done...well we all know how that turns out. So I figured I'd start one. It'll be slow compared to most others, but here it is.

    My Jeep is a 2007 XK Limited, 4.7 Flex, QDII, brown leather, nav, dvd, etc. Pretty much every possible option. I bought it in Nov. 2011 with approximately 53,000 miles on it. I've driven it the past two years to now (Nov. 2013) completely stock and I'm at 95,000 miles. This is where my mods are beginning. Hopefully this will be very budget friendly, as I buy tons of stuff second hand.

    MODS CURRENTLY ON THE JEEP:
    Superchips Flashpaq 3875 ($150 used off CL)
    Rough Country 2" spacer lift ($120 unopened off CL)
    265/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs ($120 used off CL)
    265/70/17 Cooper Discoverer STT for a spare ($40 used tire shop)


    Here she is right after buying it, Nov. 2011



    Before lift in Nov. 2013



    Rough Country 2" spacer lift installed with stock tires



    265/70/17 GY Wrangler Duratracs mounted on stock wheels, no spacers. There is some rubbing at full lock and not much room to spare at the UCA studs.

    Thanks y'all. Yeahhh, as if I didn't already have enough expensive hobbies. Boats and fishing, hunting, handguns, golf, and now apparently Jeepin'...needless to say I'm broke as hell, but at least I have cool toys! After all, he who dies with the most toys wins, right?
