first time jeeper from Turkey

[calbear]

i've been in sponge mode for sometime here reading about what fellow jeepers do to their KJs. this is my first Jeep and it's a totally different vehicle than my old audi a3.

I always wanted to buy a Jeep while I was in the States for college. Never had the cash. now I could afford(for a lot more money,i hate Turkish taxes) a 2006 KJ with 40000kms on the clock.

here are some pictures. the car was driven as a urban blinger. it will take some time and lotsa cash to make it into a semi offroad vehicle for camping/snowboarding trips.

since i dont know much about Jeep aftermarkets i will be asking a lot. Especially guys in Europe, how do you supply your Jeep parts from America?

had to be a CRD.
i love the diesel torque and diesel fuel is far cheaper than gasoline.

(lol)

What do you mean "no help" ? Look at the tent packing skills you have.

Welcome to the site. Cool color. I think you may be the only Turkish KJ owner on here.(welcome)

 

[calbear]

thanks for the compliments on color guys!!
i was all for a black one until I saw this color. also the previous owner had the vehicle treated with a super shine compound. looks great after a wash, only until I decide to head for the forest.

That's not a tent, it's a parachute.

 

[calbear]

Nope, Hyedipin is originaly from Turkey too!

(welcome) if I can help you out getting Europe spec parts let me know.

Nice KJ btw, but please get rid of that thing on the hood. (bug shield)

Tony, how did you source the parts for your lift kit? I can't find a dealer in or near Turkey for OME stuff.

the bug shield will stay for now, until I get a flat hood.

I was always wondering how a bit more chrome would look on dark khaki..
Jeeps are also way too expensive here in Greece. PM me if you need any assistance with parts.


If only mine was a CRD ... (

yassou neighbor!! nice to find Jeepers in this area.

Where in Greece are you from? I plan on driving to Salonika(where my great grand parents are from) next summer.

That would be on the other side of the country I'm in Crete
PM me if you drop by.
