Someone on EXPO posted some pics from EJS this year and there were some of this SFA KJ. Anyone seen this one before?

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Fri Apr 17, 2009 9:47 am

any LEOs that can accidently find the owner via the plate number?

don't want to bash it so I'll bite my tongue but that Really makes me feel much better about the height of mine. :shock:

(disclaimer: though I still feel the height on mine isn't an issue and has proven itself off road numerous times now)

Would really like to see better pics of the setup especially the rear coil-overs and hear from the owner/builder all about it and how it rides, handles, etc.

Ok, heres the site that those pics came from
http://rokklym.smugmug.com/gallery/7925594_DfQiU#P-1-15

you can zoom a whole lot more then the small versions that i posted here. I zoomed in and it says:

"This is a prototype suspension kit. If you have questions, or would like to be put on the list call: 208-390-5696 after April 15th. Thanks, NXS@ida.net"

I'm not sure about the email address, its kind of hard to read, but I'm pretty sure thats what it says.

It would seem that it wouldn't be very stable. Too high.

To me that looks like a jacked up pavement queen with no more ground clearance than mine with stock suspension. Yes, it has SFA but isn't the point of lifting to get more clearance?

No gas tank protection, no sliders and the exhaust tail pipe would get ripped off, especially when that step caves in. But, after all it is just testing the setup I guess.

yes, the axles are still a bit low, but the only way around that is really big tires. being that high would give great approach, departure, and breakover angles. as long as the tires are being planted on obstacles, then it would do great. the tires look a little small, but that just means it would have better up travel, i guess. that thing has to be really super duper top heavy though! :shock:

thats where mopar's 'lower forty' that they just made comes in as well as AEV's highline tj kit. through body work, it allows bigger tires and travel without raising the suspension up as much, keeping the COG lower.

C'mon, with that approach, departure, and breakover angle, if you hit the rockers or gas tank in that thing, you're probably doing something you shouldn't do

Maybe its a little to high but I think it is cool.

ramlebliberty · **Posted:** Fri Apr 17, 2009 6:20 pm

the control arms on that thing look mighty short... and he needs spacers baaaaaaaad. I could push that KJ over its so top heavy. Sure is pretty, bet he could fit 40's.

The old Dodge was built 6 or 8 years ago at least I have pictures of it in some old 4Whhel Drive magazines , guy built it to haul his familt y and go anywhere he wanted. Its been around for a while :wink:

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Sat Apr 18, 2009 3:51 pm

that dodge looks like somethin I'd drive to work every day
:shock:

I don't like it when people take my favorite parking spot

KJ kyle · **Posted:** Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:27 pm

isnt that the dodge that won top truck challenge a few years back?

and the liberty is ugly but it appears he does good work, maybe someone can call him and come up with a better design

you guys are all missing the point, all about offroading, think of the little things like "HOW THE **** AM I GOING TO PUT GAS IN THIS THING!"
