Check your drainage lines. Sometimes they get clogged.

Would the sky slider roof drains be the same as a moon roof too? Like locations

I'm honestly unsure where they are...Skyslider KK owners would know though.

I read some posts that said the KJ's were 11's. Maybe the KK are 12? :juggle:

You sound like some of the guys back when the YJ came out, then when the XJ came out, then the KJ, the KK ( KK being the ugliest but some still are buying them) :wink:

Funny how every new model some starts yelling how ugly it is :ROTFL:

One guy swore he would never own another Jeep after the YJs came out, we all laughed and a year later he owned one
Some of the 4 wheel drive mags back when the XJ came out said it would never sell , today look at the following they have
I guess being younger you haven't lived through as many model changes as I have and haven't heard all about them

you have a point. when I was looking at jeeps to buy I thought the KK looked like a straight up box. well, turns out that I bought one.

I mean, the whole renegade is different, its literally a box on wheels with strange looking lights. not sure how the ifs compares to our liberty ifs setups. from reviews I have seen, the articulation is bare to none. not any better then a stock liberty.

if I bought one (which I never would) I would first pull all of the fuses that make the CAR safer just to make it somewhat an enjoyable jeep.

hate that my KK ruins my fun with traction control. I keep stalling on pulling the fuse or in line switching it.

Like the new Cherokee, it's car based. Basically means it's probably not going to be liftable...Other than that, my only other gripe is the whole new fwd with that partial red when need "4x4" system. I still believe a real 4x4 has a real transfer case.

the trail hawk has an outstanding inch of lift from the factory...

id assume it would be able to be lifted, but that would just look stupid. id assume it could handle a 2" lift if manufactured.

Here is your solution for those situations where you would normally have to pull the fuse:

The problem is they can't get the alignment in. There's no room for adjustment to get rid of the positive camber. No point in lifting it if you can't align it and drive it. Hence unliftable lol. And that whole inch of lift is bs. The 4wd system sits 1/2" higher(you can get it in other trims as well) and then they put 1" taller tires on for another 1/2" of lift. That's their math. Meanwhile most Jeepers and any 4x4 owners don't count tires in terms of lifts.

had no idea there was a write up. cause I was going to do one when I got the chance to do this. I would have either winged it and hoped nothing shorted out or attempted a stab at looking at the manual.

true!

im not sure about the details about the "lift" but id have to honestly believe they aren't changing suspension parts rather a thicker strut plate and possible spacer on the shock itself. I guess we will have to wait and see some specs when its released.

although they are doing something completely different. I applauded you Jeep.

not sure how I feel about the 8 speed though...
offer a 6 speed or 5 speed manual.

if FCA did this properly, I think it may be enough to make me sell my KK. and I love my KK!

Its about time the Wrangler got a diesel. please don't brand it as an eco diesel
