On one side we have an 06 KJ pavement pounder with those annoying 22" Low Pro tires which has more cleaning supplies than anything else in the back.
And on the other side my 04 KJ Lift, ARB, 32" tires, M8000 winch, with nothing but trail tools, air compressor, hi lift jack in the back.
Just shows how versatile the Jeep Liberty really is.
I keep asking the guy that owns the white KJ if he wants to go wheelin with me but for some reason he just won't go. LOL

His personal opinion, which I honestly share, but to each his own. You shouldn't care what others think. Do your own thing that you enjoy as long as it doesn't infringe on others rights.

I like both looks ,i like the rugged practical go anywhere look and i also like the clean bling wheeled look,to each their own,bet those 22" do some serious rubbing though.

Two different styles for different needs. I don't hate dubs and bling so much any more if it's done well. I'm not sure a sport is the model to choose for that, but what the heck.

I have seen other KJ's hooked up and looked like CRAP. But this guy has a nice looking one. I actually like his.

I had a 97TJ and I made that a tricked out Jeep and still used it off road. Black and loads of chrome.

Remember this inportant tip.

Chrome wont get you home.

Its not that i don't like his liberty, i just don't agree with those tires and wheels on a jeep, its bad enough it is 2 wheel drive. I got my KJ to use it for what its made for. I would much rather spend 3-4 hours climbing a mountain rather than cleaning my jeep.

I imagine he is baffled by why someone would haggardly beat their vehicle that retails at $30,000. It's all relative, different strokes for different folks.

How much did something like that go for? And where did you get it?

The first ones i got from Camp Jeep a few years back. the ones i have now i got done at a sign shop a friend of mine works at. i got em printed for free but i think he said something like that would run about $175. I would have liked them to be a little bit brighter but for free i can't complain.

Hey now! Theres nothing wrong with a Jeep full of cleaning stuff!

Only problem with my life style is I like climbing the side of a hill AND spending 12 hours cleaning it! :lol:

Thats why i would just rather pay $5 every now and then for the car wash right down the road every saturday. they hate it when the KJ is covered bumper to bumper mud. Or the wash it and i come back the next weekend and its dirtier than it was the last week.

I know someone with an orange KJ that religiously cleans it and religiously wheels it. I've even seen him drive straight from the trail to the carwash knowing he was going wheeling the very next day.

that's normally what i do.. mud comes out of places and off of everything ten times easier when it's still fresh... just a quick comb with the power washer if i'm going the next day.. then i'll pull the wheels for final cleaning. worth it though :)
