My mechanic tells me the new engine is in and it is running! They want to run it through its paces tomorrow to make sure everything is working right, but it looks like I will have my KK back tomorrow! :JEEPIN:

Congrad...It's a good news. Let us know how the engine runs :POPCORN:

It feels like driving a tank after scooting around in a low-slung '96 Tacoma for the last two weeks.

That's how I felt after getting back into the KK after driving my girlfriend's Prius for a day and a half, haha.

Glad to hear the engine is running smooth, though!

New shoes. Got a set of tj rubicons that needed to be cleaned up a little. Had to spray them with duplicolor wheel paint because of all of the scratches. Definately changed the stance of the jeep.

Great looking KK. It'd look better with a Tiger Paw on the front.

Haha she's got the right idea!

I've got a Chanticleer on my Jeep.

Upgraded to scan gauge II (displays 4 gauge/info vs 2 on scangauge E)

-
Also added 2 led running lights (had existing harness from the old bumper for the side running lights)
And this protective steel piece to cover the power steering cooler

(thanks athehelm, I used the 2 existing extra mounting tabs at the bottom)

Check out these cool mounts for light that bolt to the fairlead mount. That hoop made it with your bumper right?

Oh yes it did, thanks...I decided not to put it on (yet)

I think I'm good with the lights up front for now lol
That's a pretty cool light mount btw, and priced right.

yes you do.........
i got it a really good price. it is rigged ridge xhd tire carrier. jc whitney had them in sale for 250 shipped.... and it hink quatratec has a few left as well. it is the mas produced carrier jk tire carrier that has is the widest. in the kk we need to clear the door that makes is basically hard to do since there in to meat in the corners in the rear bumper. the way it is designed it will attach not far from the unibody. so when we build a rear bumper we just need to extend the right rear frame about 5" to make a more solid connection....
we will be in touch

you should get one before they sell out

Looks good. It's nice to be able to stuff those tires now, right?

Found out I have a blown front axle seal during an oil change :furious:

Luckily I have the lifetime warranty so it should be covered. It's the first repair after my inspection, so we'll see how it goes...

i could stuff them before and not having a rear sway bar may have helped these flex pics lol and also it's nice to out flex wranglers

one of the nices flexes i seen on a kk,.....

what about the track bar. did your axle shifted to the drivers side a little with the 4" lift????

i lost few mpg with the 4" lift, once i installed a longer track bar i got them back
