Hi all. Long time Jeep owner, first time KJ owner. I'm on a couple (dozen) forums with the same screen name. I just bought this thing yesterday and started to panic when I couldn't find a single technical forum that had anything... technical.

Little bit of history and shameless picture posting... I've been a huge Muscle car fan my whole life. A couple stupid accidents when I was younger and now I have arthritis so bad that sitting in a low to the ground sports car is painful. Motorcycles are out completely. That's how I found my first Jeep.

2003 WJ 4.7 with 1" coil spacers, 245/75 meats, 3" mandrel bent exhaust all the way back from the merge, tinted head and tail lights, HID spot lights, Plastidipped wheels, a K&N intake, and about 3000WRMS in the trunk.


Sold that one to get one with a little more pep. A 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9. Hands down favorite Jeep ever. The real RaceJeep. This one was got lowered 2.5" front 2" rear, big sway bars, poly bushings, a bored TB, custom intake hat, full 3" exhaust, and thousands of dollars of other little go-fast parts. It hit 0-60 in just under 6 seconds and ate Foxbody Mustangs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.



The wife drove that for a day after her Hyundai vomited the clutch slave cylinder all over the middle of an intersection. A week later, we picked up Princess, a 1996 Grand 5.2. She got some pink stuff, a 2" BB, and 245/75r16s.


I sold my first niner and bought my Great White Buffalo. A 1998 5.9 in perfect condition inside and out that came with $10,000 in restoration receipts from the PO. Rebuilt from top to bottom, front to back, inside and out. She's the new RaceJeep. Goal is a 12 second quarter mile grocery getter.





And this is the latest addition. Princess is retiring from DD duty and is going to take the roll of camping/hiking/mountainbiking/dog-hauling rig. This is Cinnamon. 2002 KJ sport, 110,000 miles, 3.7/242 combo. Still waiting on a build sheet to see if it was built "pre-lower". Wife wants a lift, ATs, the Renegade lights, and subwoofers. She also want's it as capable offroad as the ZJ, but I'm apprehensive about the IFS and the baby engine.



Anyway, you'll probably be seeing a lot of me around here. Lotsa stupid questions to follow.

You'll be really surprised on what the KJ can do . Set it up right from the get go and she'll treat you well. If it was built before April 12, 2002 it was before they lowered them. Makes no difference now since its sagged more than the 3/4 inch difference
