Anybody know anything about this KK?

It looks like it's at some kind of Mopar auto show and is probably just a concept.
Regardless, I'd love some info about it's lift and tires or anything about it for that matter...

Amazing???
Its a straight line driving KK
Looks like if you tried to turn the wheels or go over much of a curb it would hit the flares

Much better looking KKs on here with proper lifts and the correct back spacing on the wheels so they don't hit

I do think the paint job is pretty good though. Not a fan of the tinted headlights though

I like the paint job. Looks like a matte or semi gloss? I agree with Tom though, not very practical.

Yes. I agree. Way better looking. And the proper colors too.. blue and black. ;)

I like what they did with the liberty trim on the side of the door with the blue on black. It looks super clean and just has my mind buzzing with ideas

Ones like this always make me laugh,
they try and make them look like they are ready to go off road
But with too big of tires and poor wheel choice
flares would get torn off quickly
and then the side steps :roll: who in their right mind installs those
first curb or first time off road they'd be hanging down
Ted would of had them in a pretzel shape within 20 minutes last weekend :ROTFL:
But then some like the poser look at the mall
plenty of JKs doing it these days :wink:

I guess I just got caught off guard with how it looked. I kinda feel stupid geting all revved about it lol. I didn't really take into account tire clearance and what not. There's a reason my title is "lost newbie"

Don't worry about it. I think we can all agree, even Tom, that its a good looking KK. Just not very practical anything but mall crawling.

Bigger tires and lower is fine
IF
you have enough clearance to turn the wheels and go over speed bumps
Few years back I was following a TJ looked to be unlifted but had 10 inch or so wide wheels, and larger tires with the blue letters so you know he just got them installed rolled into the grocery store ahead of me, turned the wheels to pull in and up a small incline and the left front flare went flying, by the time he parked the right rear flare was also dragging
the look on his face was .........well priceless

It doesn't look bad just the way it is being presented is bad .....IMO :wink:

Some ideas you can take from it for yours maybe as well :wink:

i can only speculate the actual amount of lift and tire size but.... judging by comparing lift heights with other KKs, i would guess 4" of lift. the rims are KMC Enduros which are likely 16" or 17", 15" wont fit. the tires are nitto mud grapplers and the smallest size on either of those rims is approximately 33x12.5s.

i venture to guess it doesnt handle turning very well.

besides the whole deal of tire clearance and side bars, i think it looks pretty awesome. love that flat blue with black trim.

and i have to say, i'm actually a big fan of the headlights. i wonder what they would look like if they were turned on..

Those nitto mud grapplers are some BEASTS! They are hella heavy but one of the smoothest riding mud tires I have ever owned. If I didn't care about my fuel mileage I would buy a set for the jeep.
