Post subject:  From KJ to KK? Thoughts?
So I went to the LA Auto Show Friday and finally sat in a KK, the "Arctic Model". While I didn't care for the looks so much I did like the Jeep overall and am now considering it as a KJ replacement. I like how the back seat folds flat and how the interior seems bigger than the KJ (is it?) and better for putting in a good overlanding set up. I also liked the fancy options like DVD and navigation, etc. I don't like the new "flip switch" transfer case selector, sure to break IMO.

Much more needs to be researched of course. Lift, snorkel, armor, rack, bumpers.... :rockon: 8) 8)

Looking for input, opinions of the KK for camping :CAMPING: /wheeling :JEEPIN: , things to look out for, things to consider...

Basically I want to re-create the KJ in my avatar with a KK. Thanks to all...!

The interior isn't any bigger up front. There's more rear cargo room, I think it has a little bit more rear legroom.

You can re-create your KJ.... minus the ARB.

The front passenger seat folds flat. You could fit some planks or a surf board in there. The switch for the 4x4 has been gtg for most. I haven't heard any horror stories. They don't make bumpers for kk yet, but everything else on your list.

I would jump on a kk before the new pussified model comes out in 2013/2014. It's going to"compete with rav4 and escape". It'll be front wheel drive garbage

I laugh everytime I see this.
I bet I have taken a Rav 4 more places than 99.5% of KK owners have. The back roads in Tanzania are worse than most all off road parks and I've traveled quite a few of them without any problems in a 4 wheel drive Rav :JEEPIN:
No not my favorite vehicle but my wife likes it so its what we have there :banghead:
