Whats up everybody...

Well I just got my 2002 KJ 4x2 about a week ago. First mod I did was install 5000K HID's on the headlamps. They installed with no modification at all simply plug and play. Then I change out the amber corners for smoked corners as one of the amber corners was broken.

I have a couple of plans for her...

- Cragar 16x7 4"BS Black Soft 8's
- 245/75/16 Buckshot Mudders
- Rusty's 2.5' Lift
- Safari Basket
- Air Flow Snorkel (Maybe)

What do you guys think of my mod list? Think my Lib has potential?

Welcome. The LOST chapter isn't super active in FL, come hang out with the South Florida Jeep Club. We'll be at the Tower Shoppes in Davie tonight in front of Pep Boys. Here's a link to the club forum: http://jeeptalk.net/

Hope to see you out there, I'm tired of being the only KJ!



PS I have some MOPAR rock rails cheap if you're interested.

Thanks for the replies...

Well due to the fact that my KJ is a 2WD I doubt I will be doing any serious off roading that I would need rock rails...

Since I'm not going to be seeing too many serious trails, is it safe to install a Spacer kit?

no spacer kit unless you add extra bump stops then you risk blowing the struts some do it but its not worth it! DO IT RIGHT !!!

Since you have no plans for serious off-roading, why the possibility of the snorkel kit?

2x4...

Since you have no front CV angles to worry about, why not lift it to the moon (or not lift it at all). If you are going for looks, lift it higher than 2.5 inches and it will look better.

You could probably get a 4 inch lift pretty reasonable. Of course you would need new gears in the rear to drive bigger tires, but rear gears are pretty cheap.

Anyway, a lift would look better than a snorkel. New gears and a rear locker would be more useful as well.

Miami,Florida. Probably real hard to find a 4x4 there.
