Hey everyone,

My name is Alec Wagner, and i live in lovely Emlenton, PA. I recently got a 2003 KJ sport with 46K. Its my DD, so i probably won't be doing anything crazy in the way of lifts, etc., but i cant wait to get a few little things like a catback and some wheels and tires. Unfortunately, it's a 4cyl gasser, but it was the only 5 speed i could get my hands on. So far i love it, and it is a champ in the wintry weather we have had here.

If anyone has reccomendations on what i could do in the way of upgrades that'd be awesome. I know there isn't much for the 2.4's, but thats ok. I know these forums will be pretty helpful!

Happy Wheelin'
-Alec

Welcome to LOST! Are you wanting to lift it? you cant go higher than 3" so its nothing real crazy anyways.

jsc - i'm still not sure yet. i wouldnt mind a rusty's spring lift. just a lot of things i'd rather have first for now. it gets me where i want to go, so no need to do that til on down the road.

by the way, i can't believe nobody made fun of my 2.4 yet :lol:

Well.. 2.4 or not it runs on gas so the CRD fellas might pick on ya regardless :lol: It's all in good fun though! What matter is that you like it, I've never driven one of the 2.4's myself. How do ya like it?

so far, the power is pretty disappointing. its pretty sluggish up hills and such. the fuel economy is the real killer though. i expected it to be decent with a 4 cylinder, but i actually know some people with v6 kj's doing better than me.
