Wow, she's TALL beside those XJs! Looks like a hoot.

For sure! The XJ can't be beat for high belly clearance along with low roof height = nice low COG. For example my buddy's XJ with the roof rack is riding on 33"x12.5" DC MT's along with 6" lift. The other two are sporting 3" lifts and 31"x10.5"

My wonderful wife bought me an "Ideal" tire groover for my birthday. It came with a #4 tip and blades which cuts a 7/32" round bottom groove. I put it to good use freshening up my KM2's for winter.

It took about 1/2hr per tire, but the results are exactly what I was hoping for. I was going to flip the blade and use it to sipe some of the blocks, but I think I might order the #1 tip and blades for that job instead.

I was thinking of getting one and doing something to my KM2's as well. Now you made me want to even more!!!

I was looking at blades. I think a #5 or #6. With square head would cut my tires nice. Couldnt find any packages with those blades though

Looks like the Grover comes with a #4, other sizes are available as separate packages in sizes #1-#5 it looks like the heads and blades are sold separately for sizes #6 and up.

Two and half years ago I got to thinking that I needed to replace these rusted out slightly pathetic skid plates, luckily my procrastination hasn't cost me a rad or rack, etc, yet! Here's what I've got so far,
