Well as for me I have had some health issues for a while now that I would rather not go into detail, but that does account for my limited time online. Luckily they seem to be getting better and things are looking up! so now to more important things: My KJ's

You all Know about my wife's KJ getting Vandalized and fixed (with Duratracs )

For those of you that know me you know that I got my first KJ in 2005 as a daily driver (as I was into building Suzukis/Trackers) I got a 2002 Shale Green Sport in two wheel drive, This was a fleet optioned 5 speed with absolutely NO options save for Cruise Control and some MOPAR Chrome wheels and MOPAR Chrome grille that the dealership installed to make it more desirable.

Here she was when I brought her home (don't worry that Tracker got way bigger):



as the many threads online have shown I went crazy with mopar accessories and kept adding and adding and it most recently looked like this:



But after all of this it was still just a 2WD and after all I already have the other KJs so when my mothers Grand Prix blew up and told me she couldn't get a new car because she didn't have a down payment I gave her the KJ for down payment. Of course first I removed the Renegade lightbar kit (wiring and all) the hellas on the bumper, the clear marker lights, the factory fog light kit, the hitch , the bug shield, the ventvisors, tire cover, floor mats, taillight covers, basically everything that I put on it (except the rear air deflector because the screws stripped out and I broke it trying to get it off)

So my mom took in a really stripped out Liberty with a power-steering leak and 145K not to mention 8 holes in the roof and got 2k toward her trade in on a 2009 Ford Fusion.

So What happens when you strip one KJ? The others cannibalize it

The Renegade Lightbar went on my wifes KJ as did the Trailer hitch and clear marker lights.

So his and hers are starting to look pretty similar:




The Ventvisors and bumper hellas (with KC amber covers) went on my KJ:



(notice I relocated the Compass Rallye lights to the back of my hood (what can I say I love lights) The only thing I don't like is that the factory JEEP covers are now crooked so I think I am going to paint the covers black and get some JEEP decals to put on them.)

I also did something else to the wifes KJ today. Back when i bought her grille gaurd I was promised one that looked identical to the Westin bar (which is what her and I really liked) but what I got was this:



and they looked horrible because the middle bar was way to freaking high.

So I modified the brackets to lower it and got this:



but I had to lose the headlight guards and that saddened me this was almost a year ago and today an idea came to me so I broke out the sawzall and drill and came up with this which I thinks looks good :



I still need to do some fine tuning but overall I think it looks better...until she gets an ARB

You all will notice that I didn't mention the 2002 Renegade, which had become a parts truck but also a future project. Well so many parts have come off of it now and the rust is to bad that I am in the process of pulling every possible part that I can ever use on any of my KJs and cutting up the rest of the carcass and scrapping it.

So essentially I am down to 2 KJs The wife has informed me that whe would like to get a 97-01 XJ to build for her not to mention I am looking to restore an ond AMC Eagle ..... And I havent even talked about the CJ-5
