well I bit the bullet & am purchasing a 97 TJ for my wheeling activity's on saturday, it's a 4.0, 4.5 lift, 33's

YES I'm KEEPING THE KJ, just not gonna wheel her anymore, need at least one dependable vehicle to get to work on monday should anything happen ( excl. my wifes KJ )

so it will be retired as of monday from woods excursions

I got a smokin deal on this too, as soon as I pick it up I'll post pic's

I'll still be around here don't worry, I'm not leaving, just moving in a differant direction

I can't blame you. For about $3k, I will have a V8-powered jeep with a 109" wheelbase, D60 front with a locker, welded D70HD rear, on 37" tires with beadlocks. For me, this was just a way better way to go then using the KJ for a 'wheeler. Especially since I will not be worrying about what little body is left behind after the sawzall attack on the FSJ.
