tbh, i was never a fan of the liberty. i wanted a wrangler or a fast car, but was forced to take the liberty. i remember when the liberty first came out and i was still in school (we'll just say that) i told myself, "i'll never own an ugly suv like that!" well few yrs later i end up with one. :shock:

great Jeep, just not what I wanted

well...the more i add crap to it. the MORE I LIKE MY KJ :-)r

just need to re-gear to 4.10's so i can add those heavy duty rear and front bumpers. then throw on some 32's or 33's..

now that i know who owns that jeep now...i think differently of it now :wink:

btw, i bought my kj before i even saw yours tom. they were asking $11,900 for it with 32,XXX mi. on the clock. after tax it was around $12,900. as bob varsha would say on barrett-jackson, "that's well bought." :wink:

That little Abrath can out run a Mini cooper S. If you have never driven a mini S then you have missed out on a lot of fun. Thought about trading my M in for one, they drive like a go kart (fast and turn on a dime). So if the Abrath version of the Fiat 500 is anything like that, probably better, then yes I would by one. you sirs can keep your full size whatevers with the turning radius of jupiter!!!!

Speeking of Top Gear they had an old episode on the other day, Jeremy was test driving the ford lightning. He loved the engine( torque and horsepower), but what made me laugh was him describing the way undersized brakes, how none of the interior fit right, the usual cheap plastic that american cars are know for, all from the factory package entitled "preferred customer" :ROTFL:

Why cant they sell a proper sports coupe like a cosworth ford in the states!!!!!!!

Ehh not so much a fan of the Mini. The Abarth is like the upgraded verison of the Fiat 500 and it's coming to the US!!! :mrgreen:

I'm super excited. I saw on the net that they're making an AWD version? Even better

On the flip-side...has anyone watched the US Top Gear? Kinda boring isn't it. I have my name on the list to get tickets to the UK Top Gear. Hopefully I can get my hands on some :twisted:

And I did see that episode about the Ford Lighting. One episode that really ticked me off is when they put a Ford Shelby GT500 on the dyno to see if it had 500hp. well it didn't it had 490 something and half. richard hammond was the one doing the testing. so he took a marker and marked out 500 and wrote whatever number they got on the dyno. :evil:

We will never see the abrath race version that puts out over 200hp from that little 1.3 liter.

Ok back to jeep stuff, mine is getting a second go around with the bedliner (more on the roof). The tail lights are getting the lined treatment as well the same as how fulltimer did his.

roof rack is getting painted and the jeep is has to go to see the doctor for a pinion seal and leaking trans cooling hose.

Oh Tom no bumper jeep, hmmmmmm....... could be cool.....big pole barn, throw an electric motor in a fullsize whatever....its like a car demolition derby with a side of possible dealth by electrocution. :frankie:

THUNDERDOME!!!!! :grim:

Tom you're safe...I won't be up around Toledo unless KJ Wildman makes a set of fender flares for me :mrgreen:

What you going to be doing up there near Richmond, actually New Paris? I'm not to far from there, maybe an hour drive south. I bet you'll take 275 around the east and then hit 27 up through millville/oxford to get there. Miami Univ of Ohio is in Oxford, nice campus. Or you will pick up 52 off 74 ,then take 101 to Liberty, then take 27.
