My KJ doing what I bought it for, comfortable enough to drive two hours on the highway, and offroad capable enough to go down the driveway. There are two more switchbacks before you get to the cabin next to the creek. I will post pictures of it at work when I get the chance.

I only wish it got better gas mileage....

I could not be more pleased with the performance of the KJ. Even completely stock it is doing exactly what I need it to do. I will probably put some off-road tires on it when these wear out. But then, I might wait until I get a JBA Lift.

At the bottom of the driveway

And at the top, with the little cabin in view.

Hey Tom!

Looks really peaceful out there. You'll be surprised how well the liberty will handle out there with a lift and better tires.

I really like the cross bars idea. Here's an idea for you. Spray them down with some rustoleum bed liner, its pretty good stuff. 7 bucks a can. If they get scratched up again a little spray and you're good to go.

Can't wait to see it lifted.

:pepper:

Looks like a good setup you got out there Tom. How much land do you have? Do I see a lift party in the future? :BANANA:

It is only about two acres on a creek. There isn't any flat ground, pavement and I think the closes auto parts store is ten miles away. I like to do major work on my car within walking distance of an auto parts store, just in case. :JEEPIN: :CAMPING:
