Hello all,
New member here so forgive me if these have all been answered before. I did a search for what I was looking for but didn't find the answers so here it goes...I am re-taking possession of a 2004 KJ 4x4 2.4L Sport. It is in bone stock configuration. I say re-take because I bought it brand new back in 2004 and later my mom took it over when I was stationed over seas. Since then I got married had kids and life went on. Now I am in a position to help my mom, I am giving here a paid off sedan and she is giving me back the KJ. As it sits it has 146,*** miles on it, about 95% is pavement miles and not a single add on. She has had the oil changed every 3,000 miles, she is very religious about that, all the fluids changed on time, the timing belts replaced, the radiator has been replaced and the fan. I believe that is it. It helps her brother is a mechanic and he has done all the work on it. So I can say I pretty much know all the history of this KJ.
My questions are this: How reliable is the 2.4L of that year? I won't be towing anything more than small trailer or kayaks. Also what do people think of the rocky road outfitters budget lifts? I have to keep this as a daily driver for at least the next few years before I get crazy with it. I want to add some all-terrain tires because I do a lot outdoor stuff besides just four-wheeling. I train and hunt drahthaars so it will be used to transport them to training days and hunting spots.
So really just looking for answers on the reliability of the engine and the budget lift kits. Thanks in advance for everyone's help. If I posted in the wrong spot I apologize in advance. Cheers!
