Hi everyone 
I'm a happy new Jeep owner and later I'd like to show you some pictures of my new (for me) KJ
It's a bone stock Export KJ (Cherokee) Limited born in May'03, although its commercial year is 2004.
POWERTRAIN: It has a 3.7 V6 engine, a Select-Trac transfer case, a Chrysler 8.25 rear diff with Trac-Lok and a 45RFE transmission (lucky me! ).
SAFETY: It has only two airbags, ABS but no ESP/BAS. It hasn't an anti-theft alarm (no panic button in the controller). The doors don't lock automatically (this setting isn't present in the EVIC menu). Since it has front and rear fog lights it also has two small reflectors in the rear bumper.
COMFORT: Tilt steering wheel, sunroof and power leather seats, not heated. It has all the other gadgets (A/C, cruise control, radio control on steering wheel, power steering, power windows, power and heated mirrors, etc.) I hasn't neither Infinity speakers nor 6-CD changer.
INFORMATION: It has a basic EVIC (no tire pressure monitor, no homelink).
TIRES: It has 235/70R16 Goodyear Wrangler SR-A All Terrain M+S rated tires (although they are just "All Season Highway" rated in Tirerack) from factory.
OFF-ROAD: It has the full Mopar armor (engine, transfer and gas tank skid plates. No yet available for the ****** at those years), and it hasn't any tow hook or trailer hitch (so I guess I don't have nither the Off-Road Package nor the Towing Package). I can't tell if it's a pre-lowered or not because I don't know how to verify it. I only guess that its a lowered one 'cause its born date.
FUEL CONSUMPTION: I bought it with 25.000mi (like 40.500km) and since I only used it in city at this time (and one with very heavy traffic) I only managed to get 13mpg (like 18 liters each 100Km). The U.S. gallon of 93 octane gasoline (the lowest octane grade available) costs US$4.64 (yes, 4 american dollars with 64 cents!!! the liter costs $620 chilean pesos). I still don't have a chance to jeep-it (take it off-road) or even drive it in a highway, 'cause my wife is really busy right now finishing her thesis work and I want to go out with her.
OTHERS: It has its antenna integrated into the glass in the rear right window and has two tiny turn signals in the place where the tree-wacker-antenna and the "Trail Rated" badge should be. Also it has a funny plastic device to hold the licence plate mounted on the spare wheel.
I have some questions about this car and I hoped you might help me :
¿How many chimes do you hear at ignition? If I get into the jeep, close and lock the doors, buckle the seatbelt, release the handbrake, insert the key and move to "start" I hear 5 dings. Then, I start the engine and the brake warning light turns on and off once and the chime also sounds once at the same time. Then, no more beeps.
¿How do I know if I have auxiliary cooling for the ******? If I look at the radiator, I see one large radiatior, another small one ahead and a tiny one in a side.
Thanks!
