What you can do with a correctly built 4dr JK

I wanted the new 4dr JK, but it was like 10k more than what I paid for the Libby. Now I wish I would have got it. Just because I like the open top feeling. I think though that my Libby could keep up with one off road. Even stock it suprised the crap outta my buddys and I.

The operator is a major factor.

I would be surprised if any of the folks in the Photos would be willing to drive 900 - 1200 highway miles to get to a trail..............

around here they'd just be Mall Crawlers..

The ones I posted of the JK's were creations of Camp Crocker who owns COP 4x4 in Arizona. Needless to say he has the funds to do a 900-1,200 mile trip and frequents MOAB and all the top notch off-roading destinations in the U.S.

If I had the funds to do a 900-1,200 miles off-roading trip, I would. But I don't and my Liberty isn't worthy to do such a thing.

They don't know what your Liberty did stock at Dirty Turtle. :wink:

His Liberty out did some of the buggies there! :shock:

My Liberty has done that - 900 miles to Colorado. 1200 miles to Moab - and will do that again in the future - that's exactly the point.

the big tired folks - when they go on long trips - put the jeep on a trailer and haul it.
(if they're already in Colo/Utah - they're just driving a few miles - no big deal)

The reason I said it isn't worthy is because it's not built up yet to handle such a drive. I would love for my KJ to have half the stuff most of you all have on your KJs. That takes time though and I'm willing to wait for my KJ to be worthy to make such a trip.

Who knows, maybe that will be next year. :mrgreen:

I'm still riding on a Daystar lift :roll:

So first thing is OME lift and JBA a-arms

ATXKJ · **Posted:** Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:53 pm

I made 2 trips to Moab on a Daystar lift (so have a lot of other folks) and if you come out next May you'll find out how capable your Liberty is.

The advantage of a Liberty over a Wrangler - is that a lot of folks from all over the country - feel comfortable driving from Illinois, Ohio, California, Texas and places in between- to go Jeeping in Moab on serious offroad trails - and then drive back home again in those same Jeeps.

granted there are a lot of Wranglers there - but a lot of those (most?) are driven in and back on Trailers.
If a Wrangler makes that trip - they're pretty close to stock - they're not running 44's.

I still do not feel comfortable making it out there on my current lift set up. I'm almost at 70,000 miles. :shock:

16,000 miles on the Daystar lift and many more to come (until I can buy OME and JBA a-arms). Might have 4.10s in the spring.
It will cost me hundreds of dollars in gas just to get out there, but I'm sure it will be worth it.
I hope there are some light trails out there I can do.

No "Bathtubs" for me :shock:

Id drive my jeep across the country and wheel it if i had the time off and funds and then drive it back. I have no worries about the jeep breaking or not living up to my standards, its my wallet that im affraid of.

The reason why i wouldnt drive one of those rigs through what i just said i would take my kj through is money. The trip out in one of those rigs would cost several times more then the whole trip in the kj. Not to mention the asphault ripping through $300+ tires like they were nothing. If i ever get serious enough for 35s on the kj it will probably be towed by the WJ for trips.

I like the yellow brute style Wrangler, but... Anyone can build a JK or TJ and they all look the same... Build a KJ or KK and it will stand out!

liquidxit2 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 08, 2011 7:55 pm

Agreed!

Oh and I guess I dont need glasses as I could read it on my 12in 1440x900 res screen.
