define good deal
It maybe a good deal depending on what you want it for. For me I would still want to change some things out as I don't quite like the whole setup they have, so I can see me putting a few more thousand into it. The very least you would want to do lower gears just to make it driveable, and then while its apart might as well do lockers

With that money I can take mine and do it right, the way I want it, (suspension/axles/gears), and be done

So... umm, they replaced the original gears with the same gears? LMAO I wouldn't pay that much for it, that's for sure.

It really makes you wonder about a 4x4 shop when you read something like that doesn't it, of course there are those that will say WOW it has lower gears now :wink:

I guess it's a good deal when you consider that's what some have invested in a SFA; it's like a free KJ with purchase of SFA deal. The fact RC was involved gives me pause however.

With the RK 7-up pieces involved, there is a good possiblility that this was another failed 7-up lift that had to go to SFA to save the vehicle. Having that much work done & not doing gear changes or locker upgrades, an easy job for any 4x4 shop, makes me wonder, as well.

I'd be leary of this because I don't know if the best of shops can save those junk RK components.

those axels aren't very wide. makes it look pretty tippy. but seems like a good deal....(depending on what, if anything, is really wrong underneath)

and thats probably the 800th time that thing has been up for sale from that dealer. could probably talk them down to 10,000 since they have had it on the lot forever.

You are correct,that is actually the KJ that had the first RK 7up lift and was in all those photo's advertizing it.RK themselfs put that lift on and it still was junk,imagine that :roll:

The shop selling it is a good shop...I saw a few weeks back that they joined LOST but haven't seen any posts...I posted this KJ when I first saw it on the lot a while back...think it was $16K or so... http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hp?t=35932

Rock Krawler is a really crappy parts company. One of the things that they created was the RK "7-up" 7" lift for the KJ. It was a nightmare. Even if you could get it on, suspension parts would break in normal street driving. Attempting to install one on a KJ pretty much ruined the jeep and the only known cure is a SFA. Search it, and you will find pics & everything about that POS. Rock Krawler is still out there pumpping out parts.

Jeepjeepster · **Posted:** Sun Dec 14, 2008 8:02 pm

They also made a kit for the wk... which came with crappy bolts which broke..

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:48 pm

I see he put up the suspension pics that I emailed him for. The trac-bar sure looks awkward,
gotta wonder how much travel you can get out of the coil-overs, they sure look short.

Steering is up nice and high, would be safe from most rocks for sure.
Think I'll email for some flex shots.

I started off as " I know you are probably joshing but...." but edited it away. I went ahead and posted it in case that was the first RK thread someone stumbled upon.....

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Mon Dec 15, 2008 6:45 pm

check the updated pics I asked for (on the ebay link).......I guess they are kinda flex shots....front looks stiff...could be due to short, 8" coil-overs. or perhaps he bumpstopped it?

Wow, mine flexes out that much, at least. :shock:

Looks like all it has is fording depth over an OME or Franky.

Guest · **Posted:** Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:15 pm

wow, that does looks high with all that lift and 33" tires. I wonder what 35" tires on it would look like. I guess we'll just have to wait for TJKJ2002 to find out.

if i had the cash i would jump on this
