another white Renegade Imposter...

I saw this Limited yesterday while driving in VA Beach and had to turn around and get this pic :lol:

This is the only other White KJ that I have seen with the Rene lightbar and roof basket.:

it's also super early for the July ROTM category... :mrgreen:

i've never seen a white KJ with a lightbar+roof rack (besides yours of course but it's not stock! :BANANA:

)
Nor do I see a modified Libby when I'm in town. 99% are stockers and 1% are lifted/modified... which is only a guy on here that moved from CA to KY and I, (BlackWidow)

and the last time I saw him was last year!
In fact the ONLY other lifted Liberty I've seen in person (besides the guy from Cali) is LibertyCRD's ride.
A lonely world out there for me... :ALONE:

Funny you should mention the July ROTM b/c I just came up with a really good Idea for that just the other day :twisted:

I guess White Libertys with the lightbar and rack are probably few and far between since Jeep didn't build any white Renegades.

As far as other lifted KJ's I have probably seen 5 or 6 in the last year or so around here (but because we have the beach there are a lot of lifted Jeeps of all kinds around here.) As a matter of fact, a couple of weeks ago when I was installing my Daystar lift I had taken one of my front struts out and was trying to compress the springs with a rented spring compressor (bad Idea) and the spring compressor started to bend while trying to compress the spring just to take it off :shock:

I decide that I would just call around and find a shop who would compress the springs for me. No luck all of the shops either said no or they wanted to much money so I called a local off-road shop down the street (Eastern Offroad), I figured that they dealt with this stuff all of the time and would probably be the cheapest. The guy on the phone says that he could do it but then offered to install the entire kit on my Jeep and do a 4- wheel alignment all for $200.00 :shock:

because business was slow that day. Well I figured for that cheap it wasn't even worth my time to do it myself (an alignment alone is 80 bux). So I put the strut I had taken out back in and dropped it off.... Well when I went to pick my Jeep up it was parked next to a Silver lifted Liberty with an ARB front bumper. I asked the guys inside about it and they said it was a customers rig that they had put the bumper and lift on a few months ago and had just put tires and wheels on that day. When I left I noticed the license plate said something CHIC and realized it was a Girls Jeep. I wish I had had my camera that day but when I drove back by later the owner had already picked it up. I was really jealous because I had already ordered my ARB but it hadn't been delivered yet.

I sense some jealousy towards the silver kj. :lol:

Hey I'm the same way. This first year of owning my liberty I would be jealous of people driving wranglers because that's what I wanted in the first place! :evil:

Then I started modding the liberty. But when I saw other modded kjs (Internet or in person) I would be jealous because: #1 they had a lift/mods galore done to their jeep, #2 I would have jealousy/hate towards people who thought their kjs were better than anyone elses, #3 if their jeep looked the least bit better than mine (in my eyes) I would be super jealous.

Now, I'm about even and really do not care anymore if someones kj is better than mine. I'm just thankful that I have a jeep or a vehicle at all! I'm not going to sell/abandoned mine like some people are on here. I'm too attached to my kj. :mrgreen:

Although Im on the kick now,"wishing my jeep was taller." :twisted:

SFA in the future? :juggle:

i have only seen one, maybe two lifted liberties around the chesapeake/portsmouth area. none in norfolk! =/ eastern offroad was gonna charge me 600 bucks when i was looking at the cheap lifts. it was more than the lift is worth. decided to get my friend's dad to do it cause he has a shop and they owe me anyways. alignment was almost free cause my family is known in the portsmouth area. =] nice looking jeep, by the way!

600 bucks is crazy, For that price I really would have done it myself. I was kinda irritated with Easter though as they put a sticker on my rear window without my knowledge :shock:

Looks like you have a nice Jeep as well, I may see it around as I am from Portsmouth so I am there all the time.

onebaucom · **Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 7:06 pm

yeah it was pretty crazy. plus, i knew someone that worked there and they were still gonna charge me that much! i am surprised i haven't seen you around norfolk though since i go to school there.

gtommec · **Posted:** Tue Mar 15, 2011 9:36 pm

here is the pic your talking about:

The two light lightbar is what most of the EU-Spec Cherokeees came with. I am going to buy one to put on my wife's KJ (she likes the 2-light bar better than the 4)

I had a chance to buy a 4 light renegade light bar for $200...guy originally wanted $250 for everything...wiring harness and switch. should have bought it when i had the chance :banghead:

BUT it wasnt worth driving 3 hours full distance or meeting half way for both of us (which would have been 1hr?) :dizzy:

Oh yeah, I had bills to pay too...

I think I have seen that silver KJ with the ARB front bumper on NAS Oceana...didn't check the license plate but doubt there are 2 in the area. Easterns did the same thing with the sticker to my brothers Wrangler.
