    Thanks Matt! I missed our technical thread conversations we use have. I'm adding RC to my list of parks I have to get to.

    The best part about buying one the second time is you know exactly what you're looking for. Also being in no rush meant I could take my time and find the one I want.

    The only compromise I made was getting a red one. Which the longer I looked at it the more it grew on me. When I searched only 4 Xk's pop up that had everything I was looking for and most were over 100K in miles the ones that weren't were real expensive. So I found this one with low miles. The few things I wanted hands down no compromise were the 5.7L, QD2, saddle brown leather. It had the first two and getting offered to install the color leather I wanted sealed the deal. I can't wait to get so I can drive it and update my garage.

    One of the first things I checked on. I cycled the 4LO a few times and waited for codes to pop up. I then gave the guy over seeing all the extra work to Jeep very clear and explicit instructions not to do any recall work what so ever on the Jeep especially any computer updates. I went their in person to tell him to make sure he understood how serious I was. He looked at me kinda weird. LOL

    UPDATE: I guess something was broke that I missed in the inspection. My sales guy said the refurbish guy was waiting on a door panel He was really confused so trying to figure out why the door panel was being replaced was like pulling teeth. I think he was trying to say the door handle was broke. But at least I'm getting a new something LOL. Then its going to the detail-er hopefully tomorrow. Then were meeting him at the upholstery shop to confirm the new color With any luck I'll have the Jeep next Monday. I was hoping for this week but I'll just have be patient I guess.

    Dude check out the Cooper ST Maxx tires for your build... they're probably going to be my next set; a really aggressive AT. They definitely have that "expeditionary" vehicle design.
