Wheels and Shoes...

The KJ has 245/75 R16 Goodyear MT/R tires mounted on wheels off of a Jeep Rubicon Wrangler.

We also have a full size matching spare:

Also some required stickers can be seen on the rear window. :hehe:

Confer Roof Rack

The factory roof rack/ rails were removed and replaced with a Con-Ferr roof rack. FlyingWil wants to add some LightForce Stubby lights on the rear for reverse lights. We'll see what happens.

Very cool! Can't wait to see where it goes!

Engine Bay

The engine bay is very clean, the KJ has an K&N filter and a Magnaflow exhaust. The exhaust is very quiet compared the the Calmini Exhaust on the Xterra.

At this point it has an Optima Red Top, but it will be replaced with an Odyssey or two down the road.

What do you think of the Detroit rear so far? Goose it around any corners yet?

Nice ride BTW.

Rear Axle

The Rear of the KJ has been regeared to 410's (front too!), and added protection on the Axle. Hiden on the inside of this is a Detroit Locker. It makes backing up fun!

Right on Congrats! What brand is the 2" lift? OME?

Front ARB Bumper

The front bumper was replaced with an ARB bumper. I love the looks of it and knowing that it is airbag compliant and crash tested. Plus I haven't seen too many other KJ's with an ARB. The factory fog lights were repositioned into the bumper, and I plan on installing a set of LightForce 170's on the front above the Warn winch.

Interior

The interior of the Jeep has rubberized floor mats, Jeep Clinometer, and a Gauge Pod with Tranny and Oil gauges as FlyingBaby is pointing out below:

Soon, you'll be doing this to it...

Or maybe this...

Sweet machine you have there!

Are you working on your response for the punks who say, "So, you're boyfriend lets you drive his Jeep, huh?"

 

[ExpoMike]

I have to say that is one of the nicest KJ's I have seen. Well done! :friday:

Suspension

The Jeep has a hybrid lift on it, which is basically the Frankenlift with out the Daystar parts. We might add that later. So for now it is OME and Rancho components:
