Lets take this market share back from Hummer (H3) I like the line up... KK, 4 Door Wrangler, Commander. At least they are giving us something fresh to play with. See ya ! :D


Same deal on the Hemi Grands. They made us remove them when we were wheeling them at Camp Jeep back when they 1st came out.

You can't remove the black piece under the KJ can you? Boy I'd feel dumb now if you could. I already trimmed mine way back.

I am sorry, maybe it is because I just got first Jeep a month ago and I am not ready to say goodbye to the KJ that I just learned to love. The KK and it's no side gate, spare under the vehicle, square headlights, over-bulky plastic Hummer-want-to-be looking fender flares, low front fascia. These are not the Jeep trademarks that I am looking for. Just my opinion.

Don't worry about the bumper...at least not too much. I had the whole front bumper replaced after I cracked it, and installed, for under 150 bucks. I can't imagine the facia costing that much if you want to replace it.

Mr. tight Spot,

http://www.jeep.com/en/2008/liberty/cap ... e_systems/

From what I read on the other threads concerning capability, this Select trac II seems very capable and interesting.

I'm a hand model so I don't change tires, Don't want to damage them or get my suit dirty you know. I'll drink coffee from my thermos and wait.


I hope that there hand model thing was a joke...??? :? Im sorry I dont get the postin of that link either??? Did I miss somethin? :lol:

I get the feeling that this was the latest account of someone who has been frequently banned from this forum in the past.


One can only hope bud :lol: Cause from these parts and back down in the south where my familys at, if a man said he didnt wanna damage his hands and get his suit dirty chagin tires and he drank coffee from a thermos and was a hand model (whatever in the hell that is :roll: ) he'd prolly be run outta town 8)


Is this right? can somebody be banned from this forum just because of his/her job? :cry:

Dont know if this is supposed to be a shot at me or not but Im just gonna assume not. Have you noticed that the "poster" in question aint posted in this thread for a while? Makes me tend to believe that they were right bout him being a troll...

Oh, for you guy's who think getting married to your first cousin is a good idea, a hand model is somebody who's hands are used in advertising, for example when you see a billboard with a picture of a watch and only the hand, that hand is attached to a hand model.
No need to say that you will need to keep your hands 100% dirt and scar free or you are out of business.

I think this forum is about the KJ and Kj owners and I don't think that somebody's job/race/sex/nationality/believes/religion should ever be an issue.

Just my 2 cents


Dutchy...the hand model was a barb thrown by Velociraptor trying to be funny about not changin his own spare...he was banned previously for something completely different and this was another alias he had on this forum. We ended up having to ban over 100 of his alias to get rid of him. I think most of us know what a "hand model" is, but that had nothing to do with him getting banned. I hope this explains it a bit for ya'...

DarbyWalters, thanks for letting me know what's going on, I was a bit worried that this Forum was going in the JU direction.
