Are these still running the 8.25" rear?

Yep, just checked the specs on the web site and it lists the rear axle as 'Corporate 8.25 Rear Axle'.

OK, finally got the PS work done. First one is what it would look like with a solid front end, just the headlight cut-outs. Second one is with the back section of the lights blacked out - I tried to make it look like the plastic lenses were still covering the assemblies.

Thanks for answering the request! I like how the green one looks, don't care for the other one.

Power windows setup looks like they took the design from Audi...kinda like they're back on the arm rest. It's funny to watch people lose all their security when they cant find where the power windows are...they almost have a miniature panic attack haha

now we can see the round headlights!!!! looks good, if you get a black one and do the same, it will look much better, and that way you can use the Black Lens protectors for the Fogs ONLY and make it true round headlights, however I like either way.

I just took one for a test drive, and boy it rides nice and soft. :) it is darn quieter as well!

Wow, you fixed the front end. That looks much better. I saw one of the '08 models yesterday at the dealership. I liked it other than the front lights. They really should go back to the Cherokee name. It definately has the look.

Congrats on the new Jeep. Just a quick dumb question, are the new glove boxes as useless as the one on my '07 KJ? I also am interested to see how it will look with a roof rack, lift, and MTs. Any plans on modding it?

i like the colere keyed front. if they came like that stock, i would lean more toward buying one.

if someone could keep their older liberty and try to swap out the lift parts, wonder if it would fit..

The color matched front end makes a world of difference in my opinion. I like it a lot. Hey Digger, there is another thread going about how long the KK front suspension clevis is compared to the KJ. If it isn't too much trouble, could you measure the length of the clevis? Inquiring minds want to know.

Also I dig the CAT avatar. I work at their large engine facility.

yeah, but I'd imagine it'd be difficult to make it look like the chrome part is painted behind the lense

I think the concept looks great.
