Yeah I've been to the grove in my old f150 a few years ago haven't been back since its a little far for me lol but those are some nice trails back there and yeah I know of a few up in Buford that are good. Are you talking about the roof rack that you're considering buying? I got it off Craigslist for $120 they retail for $300+ lol.. Hopefully everything will be mounted up and complete next week sometime

The led bar I got for $140 off eBay it's a 12" strip and the pin stripes are under the clearcoat I think unfortunately

This is what you need my friend. It's called a magic eraser. Takes pin striped right off.. They shouldn't be under the clear... But you never know I guess...

Yeah I know it's like 40 bucks at the local auto parts store lol.. But it seems like they're under the actual clear coat which is weird. I tried heating them up and they won't come off. Maybe I should just say screw it and Get the magic eraser and see. Ill be mad if I waste $40 though and they don't come off haha

Saw this xj in the parking lot at the gym so I thought it was only appropriate to park next to it lol.

Don't know what the hell is going on with my xj but suddenly she started really pulling to the right, I got out and looked and everything looks fine? One of my sway back quick-discos is off on the pssnger side but that shouldn't be causing it? Also the right brake was smoking and smelled like burnt rubber? Anyways It's got bad death wobble I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow to see what's up with it....
