AndyB's Garage

[andyb]

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?

lol you'll like this group then.... I think we're all very similar in terms of hobbies and mentality.

Treated her to a little maintenance today after our 4.5 hour drive home. Mobil 1 synthetic oil change, new wiper blades, new rear wiper blade, and a seafoam treatment. Whew did billow smoke for a while. It was about time for the seafoam at 96,000 now. Also ran some in the oil and gas for the last 125 miles of the trip.

Found a roof rack on Craigslist that I'm planning on picking up tonight. Nothing special, just the big Rage rack, same as Sal's. Pics to come hopefully! It'll sure be nice I have for moving next week.

The move to Augusta has started. Hooked up for trip #1. Jeep and trailer are both loaded floor to ceiling. I'm thinking a set of MLL's needs to be my next mod!!!
