On Monday I just had the OME full 2in lift done with all new mounting hardware installed, along with RRO UCA's, and RRO super sliders. I also redid the entire cooling system over the weekend new h20 pump, hoses, theremostat,serp belt and tension. By Thursday night the fun was over with some a**hole turned left in front of my son and totaled it, drivers side destroyed and engine caught fire with the flames going over the roof of the Commander. Luckily my son only came out of it with a slight concusion from sitting the drivers side window. Hadn't even gotten it off road yet with the new setup.
Very glad to read your son is OK. I'm curious as to why the side curtain airbags failed to inflate. Thankfully, it wasn't a worse incident and the Commander's inherent safety protected your boy. I hope you find a suitable replacement for your XK really soon. Is anything salvageable on the wreck?
I'am lucky enough to have been able to purchase a new one already. When insurance comes though I'll be able to pay most of it off. Mine was a 2006 with 105000 miles on it, this one is a 2008 with 39000 miles on it and is almost identical to my old one!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on new purchase sorry about old XK happy son is ok
