What did you attempt, an '02-'04 to '05-'07 or the inverse?

If I remember correctly, the only issue is the jump to 05-07 since the front bumpers protrude more than the earlier models. I retrofitted an 02-04 guard onto my 07 (when I had it) and the cutting and drilling wasn't too bad. With an 03, my guess would be anything will work since the mounts are...

Why? I'll just give him wholesale: 2005 Liberty Sport 4x4 Above: $11,158 - 20,614 miles Average: $9,065 - 41,228 miles Below: $6,972 - 61,842 miles * Most recent data; based on 311 vehicles sold Those are average prices used car dealers are paying at auction. Add in auction/transport fees and...

I would assume out the door includes tax/title/reg since a dealer won't let you out the door without paying all that ;). Back to reality. I checked Manheim real quick and the price doesn't seem too bad. For example, a few similar mileage '07s were selling for high 9s. Figure about $200 in...

As always, it came down to price. I was able to get an awesome deal on the Xterra so I pulled the trigger. With incentives and excluding tax/title/fees, Xterra was $16,808 vs. $18,999 for the Liberty I wanted. The sticker on the Liberty is $1,000 less too!

I figured I'd update you guys. Ultimately I ended up in a... 2008 Nissan Xterra. Let the flame wars begin, ha!

I'd love to pick up a WRX Wagon but they're kind of hard to find in decent (i.e. not raced) condition. The price of gas doesn't really bother me since I don't travel enough for it to hurt. From To Days Miles Gallons Top Off MPG 11/10/07 12/01/07 21.00 265.6 18.054...

I don't go off-road or anything. The pot holes, bumps and uneven pavement scattered around the city are enough for me. Weekdays I drive to the bus stop and back, weekends are random. Mileage wise I go no where. I got my KJ in 11/07 and 8/5/08 (the accident), it had 3,500 miles.

I was in a wreck last week and the KJ was a total loss. I'm sitting on an insurance check and thinking about getting a KK since its a buyers market. I was wondering if anyone has made the switch and what their thoughts were between the two.

It happened on Staten Island about 2 miles from my home. Its a large strip mall that they've kept extending throughout the years so there's like 6 parking lots, all connected but all have their own entrance/exit to the street. I have a feeling he was coming out of one of the other entrance/exits...

Got my KJ in November 2007, brand new. I don't really drive much, mainly to the bus stop and back (I work in Manhattan). Today was the first time I ever took pictures of it. It has less than 4,000 miles on it... I'm OK as are the other people. The side of my thumbs got...

I guess our experiences vary. Aside from the jeans, I also had an ink stain (forgot I had a pen in my back pocket) and a tar stain (backseat so it definitely wasn't me). Oh, and I used to condition the leather every few months with Meguiar's leather wipes...

Eh... I've stained leather seats in the past. If you were going to say they are more comfortable, then yes I'd agree with you. But I don't buy into the clean factor since both have drawbacks. For example, my last car had beige leather and my jeans ended up "staining" parts of the seat. This was...

How tight did you make them? Damn...

I'll have to take a look later today. I tried doing it last night but ran out of daylight. The top portion was easy, its the bottom that is a little risky, especially since there's wires and springs underneath the seat. I'm speculating but I think they would fit fine on seats with a dedicated...
