OME/Rancho Lift Kit w/ Cragar Soft 8's & Sport King A/T Steel Radial Tires (245/75R16). The tires weren't my first choice, but at $102 Mounted/Balanced, they'll do for now!

Looks good man, I forgot you were up there in Bear. You ever want to go for a run let me know, I am down in the Dover area.

Yay! Another KJer from Delaware! :lol:

Yeah. I definitely want to do some wheeling somewhere. Any places down there? I was thinking the Pine Barrens at some point.

lookin good!
Black KJ's look the best!

Edit: when they're clean!.... Go give that poor thing a bath. :wink:

WarriorMP31B · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2009 5:40 pm

Yeah, Yeah. First thing tomorrow! :lol:

It seems in Delaware anytime it appears it might snow, DELDOT puts down tons of salt for no reason! Thus resulting in a gray KJ. lol.

Some more pictures of the KJ after a quick bath. :wink:

Yep, there are actually two others in the area. One of them is a member here, DoverKJ. The other I pass all the time and give a wave but I don't think he is a member.

There is nothing to ride on down here unless you have some land. I did hear that there was a spot by the canal, haven't tried it though.

Pine barrens is fun, I met up with the jersey guys over the summer (I think you were planning on going), alot of mud though. I don't want to do that too often.

What I want to do is head the Rausch in the spring, maybe we can organize a run.

That sounds good. I'm not a huge fan of rocks, but I've never been to Raush so I don't know what it's like.

Sport · **Posted:** Fri Jan 23, 2009 2:20 pm

me neither, from what I have heard there are different levels. Some small rocks could be fun and hill climbs.

The mud is fun but man it gets everywhere. It took a long time to clean it all out, had to pull my fan and clean that as well. I would do it again though.

WarriorMP31B · **Posted:** Fri Jan 23, 2009 2:31 pm

Mud is fun, but not that much! :shock:

We could do both. :lol:

SOON! I'm leaving for Iraq in April!

I've been sporting the Kings for about a year now. For an A/T they rock for the price. I picked my 265's up for a bit less than you though.

So after driving about 300 miles over the weekend and hearing some clunking sounds, I checked out the bolts on my shocks as per somebody's suggestion on here. This is what I found on the rear left shock!

So I took it to the local tire shop where I was supposed to have my new spare tired and wheel put on. They didn't get the tire in yet, so I asked them if they could take a look at the bolts and tighten them. They tightened all of them and informed me the bolt pictured above seems to be stripped. They tightened it, but the nut (which is inaccessible) may be stripped. If it comes loose again I apparently need to go to a body shop!

Looks good, but I think you need to wax!

also could you just use a grade 8 bolt, new nut, lock washer, and maybe some loctite?

WarriorMP31B · **Posted:** Mon Jan 26, 2009 8:04 pm

I don't think the nut is accessible. At least that's what I'm told.
