What have you done to your KK lately

Nope it will always come off i have never had a problem removing to reapply and yes it does come in green but not in rattle cans. the website sells it in gallon cans and they use a wagner sprayer to paint with it. A little more expensive than rattle cans but the result is also a little nicer considering you have more product and can add more coats

daveymurray, I tried doing that first. I'm using Plasti Dip to do all of the painting and just wouldnt hold on well enough for me what i ended up having to do was spray it with 3-4 coats and exacto-knife around the letters to get a clean cut

In the end I liked the trim all being a different color it just didn't pop out much before and i always liked how the silver, blue, red, and other colors all had that nice "pop" from the trim on the side.

I love that you did red trim, it looks awesome! I have chrome door panels so I'm going to black them out and leave the Liberty letters chrome, probably going to go the same route as you on that and use an exacto

With your jeep being burgundy/Red it should turn out awesome to just have the letters color matched!

yeah thats what I thought to, I'm thinking I'm gonna go with color match spray paint from Canadian Tire

Will the plasti dip always be able to be pulled off? Or will it stick on more the longer it is on? Also does plasti dip come in green?

They just made a very bright green in rattle cans and they have had "olive drab" or camo colors in rattles for a bit as well i totally forgot about those

LOL you guys are relentless :ROTFL:

had to upload them to photo bucket first. No real good shots for the window tints, but I'm thinking of doing a mini build thread with reviews and stuff because I have a bit of stuff to put on

Looks good! I like that color.

I hit 60,000 today while driving to work for an overtime shift.

And I took a picture too early. It was 2am :ROTFL:

You took that picture in Park? Aren't you the responsible one.

Nice, time to change the spark plugs...again!

I love that grey johnson, I'm super jealous! I eneded up with a black one because I was buying used but I would have loved the color since it is so close to my old 2000 Cherokee I miss!

I really like that color, it should've come with powder coated 16" rims though. :2cents:

I agree, but I have some black plasti dip paint coming in and a glossifier to make up for it :BINGO:

Are you going to wheel it?

Down the road I plan to. I'm looking into a set of AT's and just buying a new set of Eagle Alloy rims for them so I can use my stock rim/wheel combo for daily driving. A 2" lift is in the back of my head for now but that'd be farther down the road.

So yes, but nothing more than some basic offroading for now :roll:

When the time comes for the lift, be sure to look very closley and choose wisely. I made the mistake of going with the over the top spacer lift from RRO and saw first hand why it's not a good choice. My front shocks would bottom out on bumps frequently even with extended bump stops and the back rode like an old wagon.

That's rough to hear. I'd love to go for gold and get the JBA 2" and I think that's my ultimate goal, it'll just be a long time until I can get that kind of money to toss into my jeep. Hopefully you've switched out by now and have a better ride :JEEPIN:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:13 pm

It's way better now. I put an old man emu suspension lift on with a couple tricks to bring it up about 3 1/2". 245/75-16 general at2 tires. I want to go with bigger tires but I need to regear and I don't want to until I can put in lockers at the same time. These things are a lot more capable than you'd think but they need to go up a couple inches and have decent tires.

^x2 Can't go wrong with OME thats the route i'll be going as well. from what im told the KK is a pretty easy jeep to put a lift on as well so thats always a plus :JEEPIN:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 14, 2012 11:46 pm

Jeepin by al sells 1/4" top plate spacers that are very nice. They double on the front so every spacer you out in gives you 1/2" of lift. I you have questions I'd be happy to pass on what I've learned. You're correct, it's a pretty easy truck to lift, the problem is that there isn't much out there for it. :JEEPIN:
