The time has come for me to be back on the forum and start upgrading the KK a bit more. I officially hit 200k on my '08 yesterday and couldn't be more excited to get it out on the trails again.

So have the KK's become more accepted as an off-roader as far as the aftermarket parts go? I remember finding a lot of dead ends and KJ parts a couple years back.

Look forward to chatting with everyone again

Welcome back. Impressive mileage!

Thank you. and at 200k it might just sound better than when I bought it at 3 miles. Just somthing else to look forward to for all the KK owners.

My first upgrade is going to be a 2.5" lift and a set of skids. I don't think my budget will ever allow for a full bumper swap but you never know!

You can get a full OME (Old Man Emu) lift that has longer shocks and stiffer springs which will get you 2.5 inches for about $900. It's the lift I have and many others do, too.
Take some time and look over the threads and you will see what we've been up to lately. :JEEPIN:

Oh trust me. No work will be getting done today haha. and OME is most likely going to be what I go with. Skids first though as I don't have a ton of options for actually driving off the road here in CT. Mostly looking out for sharp rocks and downed logs that are randomly scattered through the trail

I figure I also better throw up a pic for you guys

And doing some maintenance for 200k. Also stripped the rims for a repaint

Nice color!
Probably just the photo, but your front driver side tire looks low.
It's nice to see a high mileage KK running around. Pretty sure that's the highest I've seen. :rockon:

And in New England to boot. They've abandoned salt for the new liquid chemical, and it does quite a number on the underside.

And I think it was just the angle of the pic. If anything my driver rear tire was low. I had to replace that rim recently and found a NASTY crack in the old one.
