    Thank you everyone

    As much as I'd love to have a non-rusty KJ, I don't think I'd take the drive to get one. My 1996 GMC K1500 is my main vehicle and I don't really need two vehicles. I'm not sure what would happen if I built a non-rusty KJ and something happened to it (like an accident) since insurance probably...

    Thank you everyone

    I bought my 2002 KJ Sport in Nov. 2019 and it's served me well. tommudd doesn't joke, these KJ's are little tanks. I needed a vehicle while I replaced the motor in my truck and this KJ fit the bill at 132,000 miles and needing a brake line to the rear. I've since driven it 4,400 miles and it's...

    Lift kit

    Thanks for catching those 2 things Tom. Accidentally fat-fingered 7 rather than 8. Robert, you'll want to go with the OME stuff. Tom has mentioned many times across this forum about the Skyjacker, BDS, and any non-Old Man Emu lift kit since the spring rates are similar to stock and they sag...

    Burning Oil and making black smoke from exhaust

    From what you posted about your oil consumption Tom, I figured this was excessive. I'm about to get my truck checked since I think its flexplate is cracked and I don't have the tools to do it. So I'll see when I can afford the compression test (both time and money)... the oil consumption has...

    Burning Oil and making black smoke from exhaust

    My 2002 Jeep KJ is approx 135,000 miles and I've only had it the last 2,500 (since last Nov). I know the last owner changed the oil regularly with conv. but I don't know if it was overheated. It also doesn't leak- as far as dripping onto the ground or on the ******. What's been done: New Rear...

    2002 KJ- Hello from Michigan

    Thank you for the warm welcome! The previous owner had all of the fluids changed regularly including the trans and diffs. Also, the few parts that the P.O had replaced were all replaced with OEM parts (I think that's why the ride is so poor). Since I'm in college, I'll have to wait until I...

    2002 KJ- Hello from Michigan

    Hey everyone, I purchased my 2002 KJ back in Nov. with 132,400 miles on it. Thankfully the last owner took care of it and there's only surface rust on the rockers. I'm hoping to lift it eventually and replace the P.O. highway tires with good A/T's. Before any of that happens, I'll likely get my...

    2002 KJ Lift Kit Parts List

    I'm trying to go for a 3" lift since I'm assuming that's what the 927/948 combo will give me along with Bilstein 24-139168 for front shocks and Bilstein 24-185660 for the rear. EDIT: I'm no longer going to lift my jeep, for now. Where the sway bar bolts into the rear lower control arm, the weld...

    2002 KJ Lift Kit Parts List

    Hey Tom, I have a quick question. I purchased all of the parts for the lift, including JBA UCA's and I was curious if I'll need a Y-link extension for the rear axle?

    That's a shame. But your 03 is a work of art! That front bumper is sweet.

    2002 KJ Lift Kit Parts List

    Thank you for the help. You guys are awesome. I'm surprised that JBA is done making Liberty parts... they seemed like they were above OEM quality.

    2002 KJ Lift Kit Parts List

    Dang, that *****. I'm used to my 96 K1500 where a 31" tire looks normal and there's still a ton of room. I'm assuming that a 32" tire is the absolute max for the IFS of these KJ's? Would a 265/70/r17 work?

    2002 KJ Lift Kit Parts List

    Hello everyone, I just purchased an 02 KJ last week. One of my friends is giving me their new (approx. 1,000 miles) BFGoodrich KO2s that are 285/70/r17. I'm curious what all of the parts are needed to lift my KJ enough to fit these tires. Also, would I have to regear with these tires...
