What have you done to your KK lately

Ive been trying to wrap my head around this, but why are OEM equivalent spark plugs the best? A hotter and stronger performance spark plug wouldn't help ignition? Price set aside.

Well I can gladly say that the Solid diff cover fits!!! :BANANA:

It was fairly easy, but I had to grind down a little on the top teeth in order to slide it in, but it looks great. I had applied a few coats of clear after reading some reviews and issues they had. Oh and since the fill hole is a little higher than stock, I custom made a mini dip stick in order to tell the level and if it leaks.

No in the case for our motors upgrading the plugs actually makes the jeep run worse, this is part to that when they engineered our motors the made and set everything to run on the copper spark plugs so changing that makes it run different and in our case worse. Somewhere on here is a thread more in depth of what happens if you upgrade

Yup! Basically this. Go to your dealership and buy a box of plugs they aren't expensive and your jeep will thank you.

They come pre gapped for easy install

Yesterday I was finally able to hand wash the Jeep for the first time in months. So much more effective than automatic car washes. It felt good to give it a real scrub. I also filled it up and got 16.5mpg on this last tank, a 2mpg increase from the winter.

Got some new shoes! General Grabber AT2 in 245/70r16. They make my jeep look so much better than those crappy stock tires. Also go led reverse and licence plate lights

I scraped finish off the skid plates! Best upgrade to the KK yet!

Installed a 20 inch led bar spot/flood combo in place of my old KC spot lights. The Led puts out a lot more light but I think I like the round look or the KCs better.

I feel you on liking the KC look more. I'm not ditching my KCs for a bar though. I'll find somewhere else to mount one. You can never have too much light

dcbelcher26 · **Posted:** Sun Apr 19, 2015 11:25 pm

I'm hoping it will look better once i get all the other lights installed.

I personally like the light bar better, since our KK's are square it goes well with it! Did you end up using the same type of mounts as you did with the KC's?

Yup i just had to make longer ones since my kcs were tight to the grill and didn't leave enough room all the way across for the bar. The bar is growing on me the more i look at it. Especially when i turn it on on the back roads haha
