The FINAL pieces for my CB install have arrived (and if anyone knows a GOOD spot to drill a hole in a firewall, SING OUT WITH PICTURES!!!), so that should be my day off (Monday) project!
PICTURES to follow...
'07 Jeep Commander, Rocky Mountain Edition - 287 V-8 - Superchipped - aFe Stage II R-5A CAI - Flowmaster Super 44 - 2" Daystar lift - Spidertrax spacers - 32x10.5x17 Cooper A/T's - Fastman throttlebody - Skyjacker 8000 shocks
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.
While getting a new battery the pepboy mechanics said they now love commanders after seeing mine. I truly love still getting compliments all the time. Makes me feel like im riding around in a classic muscle car!!

Mines dead, sitting there collecting dust. Need to find time to put this starter in, sounds like a blast to do

Forgot to mention that I finally replaced the aFe cone filter the other week. Decided to just go ahead and buy ANOTHER, so I could thoroughly clean the first one, and let it dry for several days. Then I re-oiled it, and sealed it back in the bag the new one came in. Not a lotta miles (15k maybe) since i installed it, but that was almost 2 years ago - it NEEDED cleaning!
GOOD thing is, I've picked up about 1 - 1.5mpg, now that it can breathe again!
And I washed it, and Armor-All'ed the trim today!
