    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I spruced up my interior a bit. Started painting the fake "aluminum" panels with a candy red. Also used the Meguiar's headlight restoration kit to clean up the shift indicator. The yellow in this picture is a goofy reflection of the sun, the paint is an even dark red.

    Engine upgrades?

    Exactly what am I not listening to? What experience? Nobody here has rebuilt an engine with those aftermarket pistons. So nobody here knows if they are better than the stockers. Video games and dreams? I haven't played video games in decades. And NOTHING I have posted here is the stuff of...

    Engine upgrades?

    All sound advice. The catch being that I'm not trying to build a race car. So throwing out everything and sitting on bicycle seats just won't cut it. Besides, I personally account for most of the excess weight on the rig. Switching to a manual transmission is at the top of the priority list...

    Headlight polish

    There are spots on mine that are perfect. So I know the kit can do it. The reason mine aren't completely perfect is because it is extremely difficult to work both horizontally and vertically with the lights still on the rig. If you pull the lenses like you plan to do then perfection is a simple...

    Headlight polish

    This kit could make them crystal clear if you put in a little more effort than I did. I took shortcuts because I wasn't worried about perfection. If you get the grille out of the way and use a light to see where you have or have not sanded then I see no reason this kit can't make your lights...

    Engine upgrades?

    It's only recently that I've decided to (probably) keep the KJ. So I haven't done much research yet on what I have. No idea what PCM or transmission I have. I have found out that there are aftermarket hypereutectic pistons that should easily handle sane levels of boost. So a blower is a likely...

    Engine upgrades?

    If I had asked, "how do I lift my KJ?" and he had replied, "you don't need to lift it, it's plenty high enough for what it is" would we even be having this discussion? I'm not trying to turn my KJ into a Lamborghini. There are just times when it is too slow for my taste. That underlined part is...

    I'll add that to the list of options. Thanks.

    Body interchange question

    There was a thread on LOST (I think) that said all you need is the hood, hinges, grille, and the plastic bit behind the grille. That makes sense because I can't see a company making major changes to the main body just to add a different hood to one trim package. I can see the fenders being...

    Engine upgrades?

    By that logic, it's wrong to modify a KJ in any way. They are what they are. No need for taller tires, they move pretty good across trails as they are. No need for a winch, you can call a tow truck. No need for a better stereo or speakers, the stock ones make pretty good sound as is. Don't do...

    Body interchange question

    My KJ was slightly damaged when I got it. So I already need to replace the grille, bumper cover, and the plastic bits behind them. Would the '05-'06 Renegade bits be a straight bolt-on? I really like that look much more than my stock '03. Yes, I know I'd need the hood and hinges as well. I don't...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Does this past Sunday count as "today"? I did a product review on it, but here's the picture of my shiny headlight after cleaning it with the Meguiar's kit. Considering the headlight looked as bad as the foglight I'd say the kit did the job.

    Engine upgrades?

    I know the stock engine can't handle boost. But are the parts available to fix this? My KJ has a "new" engine already. But at some point it will need rebuilding or replacing. It just seems like it would be a lot simpler to upgrade the engine and add turbos or a blower for more power than to swap...

    Modded 2WD?

    They make low profile suspension for seats. But I'm not sure it's low enough to work in a Liberty. I'll be checking into it though. I'm also going to be looking into truck seats. I have never seen a car seat nearly as comfortable as a good truck seat.
