Platinum Renegade
Well I joined this forum in October of 08 when I purchased my first liberty. Over 4 years I did a lot of tinkering and ended up with a OME/Bilstein 1.5" lift on top of Boiler's 3/8" strut top plates with a clevis and 2 extra rear coil isolators. In August of 2011 my girlfriend at the time who has since become my wife bought herself a KJ also. In January of 2012 an old lady ran a red light and totaled my Renegade. After that I decided to get a half ton Silverado to replace the liberty because we had began doing a lot of boating and the pickup undoubtedly had much more towing capability than the liberty. Now I'm in the process of starting my own business and need a three quarter ton work truck with a long bed so I've decided to sell my half ton, buy another KJ for a daily driver, and buy a work truck. Well I've been watching the market in my area and deciding what features I wanted in my next KJ. I had determined I wanted a light color because my Renegade and my wife's Latitude were both dark blue and I was kind of tired of that. Also I had seen on craigslist not many sports had faired well in the sun with those gray plastic fenders, not dissing anyone here, just not many people take care of their rig like most of us here. I wasn't able to find any Renegades that were reasonably priced that were actually 4x4 and not worn out. So I decided I wanted no less than a Limited or similar model with all painted fenders and bumpers so that I could wax it all and not be concerned about faded plastic. Well if I was going limited I wanted an EVIC of course and leather if possible because I hated how easy my Renegades seats stained. So I've been checking craigslist for a few weeks and today happened across this great deal! The seller was in a financial bind and willing to let the Jeep go for half of what similar models had been going for in this area! 2005 White Limited 4x4 with leather and EVIC! It has 162,500 miles which I wanted to stay around the 130k-150k range but for $3,000.00 CASH I couldn't pass it up! There are a few imperfections of course being 11 years old and after 162k miles but they're minor compared to my savings! My plan is to go back with an OME/Bilstein lift on top of a strut plate and clevis combo and extra isolators out back. I'm wanting to black powdercoat these factory wheels set them out on 1.25" spidertrax spacers and wrap them with 245/70R17's. Can't wait to get to work on this rig! Its currently on 245/60/17 Trail Cutters which seem to be pretty aggressive tires for an all terrain I'm sure they wont last long though, does anyone know the name for these particular wheels? The spare doesn't match the rest and I'm going to be on the look out for a matching one to powder coat black with the others. Also I can't seem to get all of the EVIC screens to come up on the I know specifically the tire pressure screen is not shown is that normal, is there settings to adjust which screens are available?
