He's in Arizona, vehicles tend to stay a lot cleaner then on the coasts or in the rust belts. Wish they would stay like that here....heck, my sliders are rusting already and they just got pained over the summer.

My sliders are rusting already and I just painted them and installed them just after Christmas...

Mine started when I went upstate hunting. The roads and salt chipped the paint and now all the snow and ice is just killing them faster. I'll have to take em off sand em and just rattle can this time. I'm thinking bedliner, but not really sure how it'll come out.

I'm a fan of Rustoleum rattle cans of bedliner...about two cans gave me three coats on my sliders. I enjoy the texture too, not too grippy to house dirt but grippy enough to avoid slipping off of them.

Very SWEET! Congrats. It does look low in the front and high in the rear, but I think part of that may be the ground it's on.
You will LOVE this lift MightyMike!

Thank you all for the tips and advices. It really helped a lot.

When these sets of GG AT2 wear out (29") at the moment, I'm going to put 31+" on next! :SOMBRERO:

What state/country are you in?
I noticed you're all decked out in Cherokee moldings.
Jeep looks great.

Is yours a diesel or gasoline engine? I'm guessing diesel.

You are right, it's diesel.

Awesome. That means it's a whole different animal than our gasoline version.
Anything done to the engine? Any tunes available for ya?

I've only had the KK since last Dec. and naturally, just like most Jeep owners, the first thing to do was to give it a lift! So that was what I had done so far and changed the alloys. Don't think one can do much with a diesel engine apart maybe adding a performance chip/box to the engine management system. I had a look into this and there were so many available and kind of confusing as to which one to choose. :juggle:

Some of the KA owners over there did have a PCM/ECU tune done to their CRD.
Let me see what I can find out for you...

Here is a KA thread about it.

Sure wish the 2.8 CRD was offered over here still.

I agree. First thing I'd do is get it tuned.
I'm jealous of the CRD guys running the GDE tunes.

If a crd pops up in the states, some one needs to buy it!

we the people want Diesel Jeeps. its upsetting Jeep is making the wrangler have a Diesel, buuuuttttttt, the states doesn't get it. the demand is high for Diesel engines here in the states, its just that the people think their only available in trucks. some what true. grand Cherokee has it, but who in the world is going to buy that? its available in their top tier grand Cherokee.

throw a turbo whistle on the exhaust and sharpie CRD on the side of the car, Jeep and the government needs to realize we want Diesel cars here. give Europe our crap gassers!!! :banghead:

The extra cost of buy in for a diesel, plus extra maintenance costs, plus fuel costs being higher etc couldn't give me one.
That said, I loved the Cats that were in my Petes back when I drove cross country, but they made me money daily, didn't cost me.
