Don't think it will work
The KK has the spare under the rear so the hitch on them is built to go back further to go around the tire, also the KK one is built up closer to the body.
So while it maybe possible to mount a KJ on a KK since the frame width is the same you will run into other problems possibly with fitment.
I would tell them to hold it up and see to make sure but I'm thinking not without some changes

Any one need a hammer

Home Depot has Vaughan hammers on sale now
They are doing away with them and going to Estwings :roll:

Love the Vaughan's great hammers, back when I was building homes I had three that went with me everywhere, used the 23 oz. curved handle milled face California the most.
So grabbed one of them and a hachet/hammer tonight
23 bucks for both of them!
Great deal
May go back for more in a day or so so to take to Tanzania :pepper:

Tomorrow I'm going to go look at a red 95' YJ with auto tranny. No one was around when I looked at it earlier today. So hopefully I'll get to find out how much they want and possibly drive it. My mother is wanting a vehicle to get her back and forth to work, so I've been trying to convince her to get a cheap Jeep. :lol:

Instead of a 4 banger. She said if it's reasonably priced, she'll possibly get it. :mrgreen:

I tried to look at it as best as I could, but I had no gloves on and my hands froze pretty quickly. Did get a peek at the engine and looks to be good. We shall see... :POPCORN:

Holy crap! 8 hours later I have leather wrapped the drivers side grab handle and the one in front of the glove box. In between :5SHOTS:

What's the big difference between the components stock vs installing the OME lift...about 1.5 hours of labor at my stealership. As I recall, the components of the front suspension are all the same just different in size...why would it take any longer for them to dissasemble to get at the CVs and the Diff seals?

If it wasn't for the warranty I'd probably just have someone else do it. :banghead:

Driving the wife's Vibe sure does suck!

We changed the filters on what can be said on here
It must of deleted your previous posts thinking that what you said was too silly and no one would actually want it posted in public :ROTFL:

tonycrd · **Posted:** Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:39 pm

That was Dgeist trying out the GM owners blocker mod :-)r

eeehm...now what was I gonna say...ow yeah, the ratched strap trick doesn't work on a CRD, you are going to destroy the left inner CV boot. (don't ask how I know that.... :oops:

)

I'm gonna try something else soon, I'll let you guys know if it works.

yes keep us informed was talking to a CRD owner last night that may end up in my garage having a lift done
Haven't got to do one yet!

And I think that GM owners blocker is working well part of the time anyways, may have to tweak it some more

Transmission in the 06' Mazda was getting ready to go out, so it's in the shop. It was literally :dead:

There was 415 miles left on the warranty! Glad the car got in the shop before that ran out. This is my mother's car. She thought it was her brakes at first, but the tech guys at Mazda called and said transmission. So almost at 50,000 miles, the transmission is being rebuilt. What does this say about foreign vehicles? We have no idea how the transmission went out at such low miles. As a temporary vehicle, they gave her a 2010 Chevy Silverado pick-up to drive while the Mazda is in the shop. May I say that truck is SWEET! She was going to get a Grand Cherokee but the people in front of her got it before she could. :banghead:

Ok here ya go, crappy cell phone picks of drivers side handle from late last night when I got it done before I reinstalled it and one real crappy night pic with a flashlight of same handle. Keep in mind also this is the first time I have ever attempted anything close to this and I have never sewn :roll:

I will take some decent daytime pics this weekend.
