Hey everybody,

I'm very new to the jeep community (just got my KK last week), up to now i've been driving an 01 cherokee.....4x2. It was given to me and it was a million times better than my 91 mazda. I loved my cherokee but it was just time for an upgrade.

I do have a few things i want to do but first things first, I want to do a cold air intake and throttle body spacer. I did see Diggers aftermarket part thread. but the brute force intake is only for '08s the other two say '08-'09. I seem to be having a lot of trouble finding intakes that say they are for the 2010. would one for an '09 work, or did things all shift around under the hood in the model year change?

Welcome to Lost :JEEPIN:


Post pics cause I dont think anyone else on here has a Renegade yet. I would save my money on the throttle body spacer, probably even the intake. Youre not gonna gain HP if thats what you're looking for, you would need to get something like the B&G tune. Even then im not too familiar with the gains. Though I dont know for sure, Im pretty positive nothing major has changed between the years so any intake that works for 08-09 will work on yours.

Great Pics. I think we all wanted to see those Blackout Headlamps. Is the SkySlider optional or Included? The rims look darker also.

Thanks for the pics

definitely happy to provide the pics! yeah the headlights and the dark rims were two of the things i really liked about the renegade. the sky slider was optional, the model I was looking at (happened to buy) had it and my wife really liked it so we got it. i know that some people have had problems with them leaking and things like that but I made sure my warranty covers that if it happens, they said yes so i'll take my chances. I also know that the sky slider makes it difficult to do a roof rack but i'll cross that bridge later, i figure i'll replace the plastic bars with rails at some point and throw a basket on it if i REALLY feel like i need to put something up there (or if the sky slider motor burns out and i dont replace it for a while)

I'm not sure but I think the SkySlider leaks mainly if you go thru a car wash, or use those pressure car wash place. I might be wrong, so don't quote me on it. Hopefully they have improved them, so it won't happen.
Look at the Digger's Avatar. Look in to the eyes of the frog, :dizzy: you are feeling relaxed, concentrate in the eyes, you are getting tired. You are feeling sleepy. Now hand over those awesome headlights you love so much. :dizzy:
That was my attempt to hypnotize you, sorry I lack the ability, but PM me if it worked. :mrgreen:

Thanks guys, I'm glad everybody likes the headlights, I imagine that there should be some oem ones somewhere since they come from the factory that way!

Hopefully you all still like it once I start with some modifications. I definitely want to do a lift but I have never really done any intense off roading so I don't know that I really want to invest in a suspension lift and all the parts I would have to replace along with it. I may just go with a body lift but there are so many out there I may take a while just finding one that people say is a good choice. Any recommendations?

Welcome to LOST....VERY sharp Rene. I could go for one my self.

On the KJ/KK's...body lifts aren't possible as they are Uni Frame.
