    Lost my only key...how screwed am I?

    Got the new key today. $151 for the transmitter/key cutting + 24.95 for programming...and $75 to get towed to the dealership. Total with taxes came out to $268.52. A little less than I was expecting. They offered me a non-transmitter key for $104, but the alarm would go off every time I...

    Lost my only key...how screwed am I?

    Circumstances of how it was lost are irrelevant at this point. There's still a chance it will be found, but I'm not banking on it. Can anyone give an educated estimate of the damages to my bank account for such a foolish act? It's only been a few hours, but I'm kicking myself hard right...

    Post Your Salt Covered KJ/KK!

    Living in Pittsburgh in the winter, every Jeep is the same color...dirty grayish and ugly (though some have some black & gold flags). Hardly any point in washing since it'll be covered again after less than a mile on the road.

    Hello From Pittsburgh PA

    <--Another Pittsburgh'er here. I'd offer to join up on a trip somewhere, but I'm stock. Hoping for a lift and some plates soon, but other things are taking a priority. I work with a fellow (stock) KJ owner...he took a trip up to some trails north of Cranberry...came back with a radiator full...

    How to Keep Your Coffee Warm!

    I find that a quality thermal mug can keep my coffee hot for many hours. Do we really need to bring DC currents into the equation? I guess if you're a pansy and it takes you 6 hours to down 12 ounces of a toasty beverage this would be a worthy investment.

    Shamwow

    Wow, my feeble attempt at humor went completely unnoticed in resurrecting this thread. The "Shamwow Guy" a/k/a Vince Offer got in a nasty fight with a hooker in 2009 when she tried to bite his tounge off. Both of them ended up pretty bloody and beaten and neither filed charges. I think...

    Shamwow

    Beware of the Shamwow! Prolonged use has been proven to lead to brutal attacks by hookers. Water is bad enough for the Liberty seats, you don't want to try to get massive blood stains out of them (but at least you'd have a Shamwow to help sop it up).

    Anyone seen or used this HU?

    That's tight. Looks like there's no faceplate pop-off though. I have to park in some unsavory areas more than occasionally and I would never trust it being there when I get back.

    Anyone has lifted a 2WD KJ?

    I say take off the rear fenders and put some trim around the edges, thick enough to cover the holes. Doesn't look as bad as I thought it might without the fenders.

    Slush Mats

    Less than 24 hours after nantol posted, the front & rear slush mats are in my KJ. Assuming the cargo tray is in as good condition, it's a great deal and I highly suggest anyone interested to contact the seller.

    What are you listening to in your Libby right now?...

    Lotta metal heads in here. Stern in the morning. Liquid Metal or Octane in the afternoons. I think the last ipod song was Still Counting by Volbeat. Dethklok usually doesn't leave the CD player. \m/

    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    '97 Civic w/ 180,000 miles. Got $500 as a trade in. I always wanted a Jeep, but I usually inherited cars before now. A Wrangler would have been nice, but I prefer some interior sq footage, plus I live in a sometimes cold urban area and the thought of hoodlums slicing open my windows to steal...

    Interior accessory mounting pics?

    Thanks for the link kb0nly. I think I'm gonna go with the pro-fit. I filled up my shopping cart with everything I'd need and I'm just under $100. Kinda steep, but everything seems sturdy and reliable. If you could snap a pic or two it would be awesome.

    Interior accessory mounting pics?

    Hey folks, Wondering if some generous people wouldn't mind posting some pics of thier dash accessories and where/how you have them mounted. Right now I have my Garmin Navi & Sirius Starmate suctioned to the windshield and my ipod just floats around next to the e-break. I'm thinking I might...

    Tire Iron

    I snapped a rusty lug on my old civic once trying to get it off. Tore the $h!t outta my knuckles on the asphalt when it cracked then burnt my hand when I picked up the nut (apparently thick metal bolts get hot when you bend them enough to snap). People didn't believe that I did it by hand...

    I got me a hitch!

    $100.00 off craigslist. The guy never had it installed, the wiring bag is still sealed shut. Looks like I'll be spending some time here: http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26895&highlight=hitch Anyone know if I'll be able to get this in by myself, or am I gonna need someone to...

    Have you ever slept in your KJ?

    On a couple of long road-trips I've "napped" a few hours with the driver's seat reclined in a parking lot (also done it at work on a few lunch breaks after a rough night). I've slept with in the passenger seat both reclined & upright while the gal was at the helm. I keep a sleeping bag in the...

    Please Post Head Unit Pics!

    Beartard...just noticed you're rocking out to The Briggs. Saw them open for BR a few years ago & I've been hooked ever since. I just installed a new HU yesterday & I'm loving it. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Support/CarAudioVideo/In-Dash/CD-Players/ci.DEH-11E.Support Paid...
