Looks fantastic mate.

Is that pinstripe down the side of your KJ std ? or did you get it put on ?

Whats the go with your fuel consumption and accelleration ? out the door ?

thanks CRDSTU for the comments, I appreciate it. That pinstripe is stock. The only mods I have on her are Front tinted windows, the lift and tires, and recently I installed black tail light guards. I'll have to take a pic this weekend. As far as fuel consumption before the lift and tires my EVIC said an avg of 18.4. And I do almost all my driving on the highway. After the lift and tires it reads 16.5. But that isn't correct obviously b/c of the ratio change in tires. So when it read a mile...i have actaully gone a little further. I have no way of telling exactly what my percentage is......but if i were to guess after driving it for a few weeks. It seems that if I stay on the higway I'm actually getting BETTER milage than I was before. I'm guessing due to the RPM change. Lower RPM NOW, but still the same speeds i was traveling before......It's when i get into the city that I notice the fuel consumption is a little greater haha. Gas burned in 4 wheel drive is worth it...but lets just say I try to stick to the highways lol. Let me know if you have any more questions. And thanks again for the comments!!

Later!!

P.S. (lol forgot sorry) My acceleration is a little slower, not to terribly much though. But now that I'm sitting a little higher and know that the gas milage is not quite as good, i'm not as heavy footed as i was. Now I just sit back and "slow roll"........haha. Seems I get a lot more "Thumbs UP" that way from other people =)

thanks for the feedback mate. I'm not sure if i said on this thread before or not, but that was the reason I had to get rid of my KJ in the 1st place. I had 245/75/16's on Mickey Thompson Classic II rims (16x8) and was averaging 300klms a tank max........ :x .
With this new CRD model, not only is it a diesel, but the 3.73 diff ratio's will let me run the 265's with not as much fuel & accelleration sacrificing...!! Wooot!!!
The 2.4lt 4cyl model gets 4.11 dif gears - maybe I should look into getting those as well!! :P!!
