and to think here are two guys who are on the forfront of all the development in new stuff for our KJs and yet they only have one good Jeep between them, and thats putting them both together. :twisted:

But then again maybe thats good, that means they have been working so hard they have no time to work on their own junk! :wink:

It was released,then scraped soon afterwards from a flawed front design.The pics in this thread are of the first RK 7up outfitted KJ(I believe).

I'll say it..
For weld on, not too hard to do if you know what your doing-ness...you could probably market the kit.
The coil over looks WAAAY short, but if you want to buy something out of a box, it may work. Those brackets look stout...

Looks like it rubs all over the place, too... but it's a start to a box kit.

The nice thing about the C.O. mount is that it should definately beef up that inner C on the axle. Though usually only a problem on Jumped Jeeps w/ a D30, those are known to bend at times. It definately is going to have very limited up and down travel w/ that short of a C.O. though. Maybe a good candidate for a hoop underhood and running a longer C.O. into the engine compartment. (poking up through the hood of course??)

I like the look of it, can't really comment on how well it would or wouldn't perform as I don't really understand alot of what's needed up front to make it good (other than what I've read on LOST)

Wish my KJ looked like this though :twisted:

I can't believe it's only $15000.

I have yet to see any SFA KJs that do look really proportional. They look pretty cool but seem too big up top because they have to sit so high even just to clear 33s.

thats a very reasonable price. I wouldn't pay that price though without a offroad testdrive. Very nice rig overall.

Heck if it is still available in a couple of months I'll buy it myself. Probably cheaper to fix/upgrade any issues than to start from scratch.

It would probably cost about that much just to do the swop over here. Hmmm.... wonder what import costs are :lol:
