Ok...so far I have 50 miles on the kk and I love it...It is one of the funnest cars I have ever driven
some things have have noticed..
1. wide ratio tranny in 2hi.. 6th will have no problem taking you over 100 :twisted:

2. The power band doesn't really start in tell 3500 or so...but after you hit 3500, it all fun and dust
3. ESP OFF = MORE FUN... i broke it loose doing a u turn

4. kinda low to the ground..I really want a lift

I will keep all of you posted as to my findings

I have already posted these pictures on the forum but here they are again

Sweet looking Jeep, man!

Congratulations. I like the Sport model a lot better than the Limited this time around.

I've taken my Jeep to 100 before... The girl that was riding with me almost crapped herself. :shock:

Do you think there's room for a 31" spare under there?

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 2:45 am

possibly.but it would be a tight fit

Looks nice, ive had mine to 95 before, but i was catching up to traffic ahead, was nice and smooth though. You are right about the power band, mine starts to wake up above 3500 rpm. I dont have traction control to begin with so i did a u-turn one time and gave her some gas and it broke loose easily.

Glad you are happy so far with your new jeep, take it offroading before any mods and see how that beast performs. Also for the spare, most people that get pretty big tires, usually put them on the roof anyways.

One thing that bugged me was the little button you press on the door handles to open the door, i can see that being a pain if it gets frozen in the winter lol.

Very nice, I'd like to see the console layout for the automatic though.

If they do a CRD of this I am in line to trade up..

Awesome!! Are you the first KK owner on LOSTKJs??

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 4:49 pm

I will post some more pictures later tonight...And I am probably the first :twisted:

Guest · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 5:55 pm

Man I really don't care for that color on KJs, but it looks BAAAAAAAD on that KK. Congrats on your purchase! is this your first new car?

you basically got yours the way I'd want mine...so if I DO take the plunge...I call dibs on copies :lol:

how's the shifter action? smooth, notchy? long throws? short throws?

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 6:04 pm

Yes this is my first new car...As far as shifing it is smooth...if under light throttle it finds ever gear as you are going through them... but i have trouble finding a lower gear some times because of the short throw...Its not the car, its me...my last car was a 1981 gmc c1500 with the muncie sm465 4 speed...so the 6 speed in this beast is a whole new thing to me..

DarbyWalters · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 6:46 pm

To shift it///pretend your are driving a Mazda MX-5 (Miata)///think small sports car

Guest · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 6:49 pm

the Miata's shifter is more like a toggle switch...is the manual trans in the KK seriously like that?

Man I wanna see that sucker up in the air a couple or three inches so bad...it'll look mean with some 245s or 265s. Bust out the rattle can and paint the flares and bumpers flat black:D

DarbyWalters · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 8:47 pm

Can anyone photoshop those wheel on a KJ Sport?

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 8:58 pm

Ok here are a few more pictures that I uploaded on to photo bucket...also i install a aem intake on it... Is it bad to have already done surgery on a car when you have had it less than 24 hours? :twisted:

throw that can of fix-a-flat in the garbage, it's the worst stuff ever invented.

Nevermind, it's not fix-a-flat! sorry :oops:

I dunno if Im feelin that Toyota-style cruise control...control. I don't like it in my mom's Sequoia...but then agan, it IS a Toyota:P

UPDATE... So tonight I went out east of the city and opened it up...in 5 gear at 5000 rpm i was doing 110 with 5 people in the car and when i went in to 6th it droped to about 4000 and still had plenty of peddle go so i dont know where the limiter kicks in at...also through a wheat which was fun as all get out...60 in 4h was like being on the high way and the esp really help you get traction in the dirt, we will have to see how it works this winter..I also have a few more pictures posted on photo bucket

You may want to double check with JJ'sKJ but as soon as possible replace all your fluid with Amsoil. You just spent your hard earned money to buy a very nice Jeep. Years ago I bought a car from a dealership where my brother in law worked as a salesman. First thing after I got it home was a complete conversion to Amsoil. A month later I had to take the car back in for warranty on drivers side window. When I went to pick it up my brother inlaw came up to me and said
"I'll never bad mouth your funny oil ever again, because your car runs quiter and smother then anything I have on the lot". So although this may sound like a commercial but the best thing you can do for your new Beasty is get Amsoil in it.

So you can get the BFG AT's as an option? I figured it was just a choice of crappy Goodyears. I love those wheels too. I'm still waiting to see one in person around here.
