What brought you to buy the KJ?
My story:
Coming from a highly modified new body style silverado, I wanted something that I wouldn't have to worry about. The time was approaching where I needed to get out of stay in for the long run. I was looking forward to owning something that doesn't have to be sparkling all the time, carefree if you will. The original cars I was looking at were A6, A4, Passat. Since my Dad was buying the car, there was a stipulation...it had to have a warranty and be bought from a dealer. Personally, I was looking for something with more room, 4x4, and a non existant after market because I'm addicted to mods.
After going for many test drives, I found the A6 and Passat would put me into the same situation I was previous in. I would be stuck at college during the winter months, without reliable winter transportation, and mainly without a warranty. Also, I would probably have modded the thing to uselessness, as I did with my silverado. So, randomly, I saw a lifted KJ with an arb and moabs blind me driving in my silverado at sunset. From then on, I thought there were cool and more importantly practical, something I wanted to look into.
I went to look at them and I drove a sport, the goofy cloth print and 'no frills' just wasn't for me, I was having second thoughts about liking the KJ. Then, I drove a limited with 37,000 miles, needless to say I was impressed in the sophistication and convience a Jeep interior had to offer. Later that week the limited ended up in the driveway, bound to be unmoded and driven to the max. I ended up with an 85k warranty, on the vehicle, so if I ever sell it the warranty is passed on to the buyer. Although it's not the most hardcore, cool, good looking vehicle I could have chose, it really fit everything I wanted and needed. I got more room, plush interior, 4x4, warranty, and a newer vehicle to last me though college without worries.
). Anyway, fast forward two weeks and I find a buyer for my Saab. I sell my Saab, get a SWB JK Rubicon and all is right with the world- 3 jeep household now. Hit the fast forward button again, and my JK needs some work at the dealer, and I need to get back to school, so my father lends me his KJ for the rest of the semester. He falls in love with the JK, I don't mind the KJ nearly as much as I mind the JK, my girlfriend loves the KJ, I come upon enough money to buy that Saab back and we now have a TOTAL mixup of who-owns-what. We came upon our KJ by chance rebates, but it was a good thing now.
You know how it goes, never argue with a pregnant woman, unless you want to die early.
