Great looking KJ. I love the tire cover/license plate holder. Is it good for preventing someone getting to your spare tire (as in stealing it)? That is the weirdest looking tow hitch receiver. |

Very nice KJ! That is a very "unique" looking hitch assembly. I'm guessing it's for light weight loads, otherwise I'd be worried about it snapping at the middle of the bend. Oh, and how'd you fit a house in your windshield?!?  - Trooper |

Thanks for the comments guys I am sure the plate is a good deterent...but whos going to nick a wheel with a goodyear on it!! (It is locked...some parts of the UK like borrowing 4x4 wheels off people) 
The house style screen tint was a weird one to find...the bobbies in the UK pull some funny faces as I cruise by...but their panda cars are no match for V6 power.. 
The Towbar is fully rated..it is a quick release system (now law in the UK for new installs!).. http://www.brinktowbars.co.uk/towbars.php?PHPSESSID=0206129a996881b28e347acc3af39875 
It does look mad...but I hve no intention of pulling trailers or caravans...maybe used for pulling rally cars out of ditches and missed attempts at crossing bridges!!

glad to see our ignorant American ways (that is how we're still seen in the eyes of the world, right?) influencing people all around the world. Nice Cherokee and happy trails. |

Keep it American and out with the foreign doo doo...I'll never be driving anything but American vehicles...big ol' F-350 to drag around my rigs (wishful thinking but someday). Out here in California, unless you live in the valley or a conservative area, all you see are weeny foreign cars...just my 2 cents guys

HERE HERE! Tired of sending many jobs that could be filled by red, white, and blue blooded Americans to a bunch of foreigners who make crappy products anyway...if it is not AMERICAN MADE than you can just forget it...unfortunately I broke that rule somewhat with buying an ARB bumper, but gotta love those Aussies

Don't think the fender flares (or wheel arches to us limeys!) are any wider... ...are you saying my tyres (sorry tires) look skinny!! Don't beat yourselves each other up about being American guys.... i love the place and would go back to FL every summer if the wife didn't like variety! Bush doesn't do himself any favours as the British Press jump on all his mistakes...as expected!! Thanks for the comments..The armouring has already started!!! Cheers guys Toodle pip!! |
