Moi is finnish and mean Hi! Greetings from Nordics. A new KJ owner here.
My name is Kalle and I live in Finland. We needed a 4x4 that can handle itself above the arctic circle in rough terrain all year round and somehow I ended up with a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport 2.4. Back here it is branded Cherokee. Anyway, as I have learned 2002 is the year that produced plenty of KJ lemons. I do not know about the full truth about this one but it does have 228 000 kms / 142 000 miles in the odo and it has had a major (5500eur / 6700usd) engine rebuild done in 2013. Interior and exterior are mostly in exceptionally good condition.
This is a pretty stock unit. If and when Santa Claus some day appears again I could use a quality lift kit, wheels, tires and big roof rack. On summer we do camping trips with this Jeep above the arctic regions in Finland, Sweden and Norway. On winter it is a people hauler for back country snowboarding days and as our main transport in quite heavy duty conditions of low temps (-30C /-22F), rough roads, plenty of snow (+1m / 3.3 feet) and few hours of sunlight. It has a Webasto (petrol heater) and plug-in heater element for the engine and cabin heater. There is also need for two sets or tires since for the winter us Nordic people tend to go for a bit narrower studded tires.
As usual this Jeep KJ is not stranger to all the xmas lights shining bright in the dashboard and I'll be writing about some of those issues in appropriate sections of this forum.
