Nice, mine is candy blue and will be on the leftside of the cargo area, just not on the door. Very nice though John!! Once I get the Jeep together I'll have to head up your way for a ride.

I wanna come too...I won't get a Power Tank though since you two will both have one:)

We could get 4 SFA KJ's on a trail w/ allyrands included! :JEEPIN:

That would be quite a sight. Next on the list of mods though is I gotta get the ARB front bumper and a winch (debating between 8K and 10K rated ones). Also will need some sort of rear bumper as well, is Rock Lizard still making his or is he retired from that line of work? I haven't been keeping up with things like I used too so I'm not sure what his current status is.

He still owes me a bumper...haven't heard from him. :cry:

Well the long-arm kit was delayed till the middle of next week so hopefully a week from now I'll have some torn down photos to post up. It's so close I can nearly smell the weld torch going to work!!!

What about the Kevin Offroad custom brackets??... Do you really think it's going to be sell like a "KJ SFA kit"??... :shock:

Not sure just yet, the shop is working with Clayton Offroad Products to possibly create something for the KJ from what I can gather. Once they start getting to work the truth will be figured out though I imagine.

So whats the news on this. How far are you along

All parts except for the long-arm kit have been ordered and/or received. The long-arm kit should be received by the middle or end of next week. Then the build will start Friday if not earlier. so I'm hoping by 26 June we'll be done if not just about done.

Once the build starts though I have a friend in PHX that will be going by the shop and taking photos of the build.

Ok, all parts are on hand as of today, except the Clayton Offroad Long Arm Kit. It's scheduled to arrive on Mon or tues of next week. The teardown will begin on Mon 21 June and most likely the build will take a solid 2 weeks if not more I imagine. So i'm not expecting the Jeep to be completely setup and ready to roll until just after the 4th of July holiday.

Time will tell.

I'm looking forward to following your build thread. I've got an 06 libby as well.

As far as the ESP/ABS, I have the lights intermittently on my dash. The speedo never stops working.

Also, even if it didn't work, whats wrong with using a GPS for vehicle speed?

What size tires do you hope to run?

Have fun with the build and GOOD LUCK!!!!

That's what I do with the cherokee, use the gps as my speedometer!

LOL, I wish it was that simple on the KJ... if that were the case I wouldn't be eyeing YJ's and TJ's..... still waaayyyy on the fence about the SFA swap on a 06 KJ.

Teardown began on Thursday and long-arm kit, according to the tracking info, should be at the shop Tuesday, STOKED!!! Might be ready by the 13th or 19th, or sometime inbetween. At least I hope it is since I'll be traveling around those dates and I'm for sure in phx at that time.

In the words of Kevin from Kevin's Offroad:

Kevin's Offroad updated their facebook page with another video and some pictures of the rear axle nearly completed with the install. Here's a link, it's a little dark unfortunately...
