    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    No, still looking. What makes this difficult is I'm not looking for one to lift and take off road - I've found some solid contenders for that purpose. But I'm looking for a clean survivor that I can tidy up **** stock for my wife since she misses her old one. She doesn't even care if it is 4WD...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    I appreciate the continued replies. We are still on the lookout, but I can't bring myself to drive 300+ miles each way to get a vehicle that I don't need, then hoping it can make the return trip. We are hoping to find a good one close by eventually. As for the one I posted about on this thread...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    Yeah, prices are nuts. Most Liberty models within 100 miles of me are $1,500-$5,000. Very few less than 200,000 miles, most have 230-250K. Most have failed paint or visible body damage. This one is over 200 miles from me, but significantly better condition than any other blue Liberty in the...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    This one has 127,000 miles. I haven't run the carfax yet. I sold a 2005 4Runner V8 for $7,500 (to my brother for my niece) a couple of years ago. I can't pay more than that for a 2003 Liberty. But maybe I'll have to if I want to win Husband of the Year...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    This is by far the best I've found, but it is several hours away from me. Photos provided by the seller. Asking $8,000. 2003 4x4 Anyone see anything that would scare them off (other than the price)? It looks like it has been rattle-can painted underneath, but that it pretty common practice...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    I've been looking at KJs for sale online, and had an epiphany. I had no idea the grill and bumpers changed in 2005. Somehow never noticed, but now I can't unsee it. As a brand new forum member I mean absolutely no disrespect or offense, but to me and the wife 2002-2004 is hands down the coolest...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    You folks are great, and I really appreciate the responses. I remember when XJs were dirt cheap and you couldn't give a YJ away. I told my wife I am surprised at the apparently low market value of the Liberty, but now is probably the time to grab a good one before someone starts calling them a...

    Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...

    Hello, I'm a long time wrench turner and Jeep owner and have had many (CJs, YJs, TJs, WJ, KJ, and currently a JT). My wife had a 2004 Liberty (bought new) for about about three years but traded it on a minivan when the growing family required it. We are still a Jeep family, and every time my...
