Hey all,

I've been browsing these forums for a while now but finally decided to up and register. :)

I've got a 'Bright White' 2012 Jeep Liberty (Sport I think but I don't really care about that haha).

I love the Jeep and have had no real issues with it so far. I've owned it since July. It had 43,000 miles on it when I got it and now it is sitting at 58,000. I've taken it on 400 mile round trips, on out-of-the-way trout fishing adventures, and on the highway for the daily grind.

I'm gonna need new brakes real soon and I'd love to start buying some ATH bumpers when I finally get some extra money. Lift kit goes without saying... and eventually I will be investing in some POR15 to completely rust-proof this baby. I plan on having this one for a long time and you just can't have enough rust protection in the North-East! Cold-air intake and catback exhaust system is also on the want list.

So far I haven't really done much to her - I've got a Browning steering wheel cover, some Green LED 'mood' lights in the interior, and I just painted my rims yesterday.

I'll be around and watching your guy's cool modifications!

Here is a picture of how she is looking as of today.

I painted the rims with Duplicolor high-performance wheel paint. Once I got the wheels off I was happy to discover I was one of the lucky that got stock 17" rims and not the 16" rims.

edit:
I got the idea to leave the lug nuts and center cap alone (I did clear coat them though haha) from a picture ATH posted on his facebook page. Somebody out there has one awesome modded white KK. I hope to have something similar one day :D
