Welcome to the forums. KJ is a Good choice, safe vehicle for your son.
If you get real winters, look for AT (All Terrain) tires!
How many miles on the KJ now? What color is it? Photo?

Hello!

 

[profdlp]

Welcome!

It’s a black 2006 with gray interior.

Needs some work, but it will be fun.

Lugs are froze and will need to get the free to swap out the tires. Already broke a couple socket and will need to swap out 3 lug studs. 4 more stuck lugs to go ‍

welcome fellow 06'er 2wd or 4wd?

4wd

Still 3 lugs to go. The last 3 lugs split in half leaving only the well in the wheel gonna have to drill out the lug studs just to get the tires changed.

We paid 2200 for it with 129,000 miles. Not a bad little project for his first car. Didn’t think changing the tires would be the difficult part.

We swapped oil trans fluid filters O2 sensors general tune up stuff and the tires have been a nightmare. Please do not over tighten your lugs with impact tools. I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through this.

Amazing how shops can over tighten. You may also want to consider some quality McGard Lugs.?

You must be registered for see images attach

Finally got it in running smooth, swapped out tires matching factor size. Had to drill out and replace 6 of those lugs.

There is a sunroof but it isn’t working. I’m not sure if we want to tackle that project or leave it alone since it’s not leaking. Every once and a while we will go to a pick and pull and see what we can find.

Good to hear it's running smooth & you got the drilling over with now.
I'm glad I don't have a sunroof to worry about or leaks, windows down is good enough for me.
My closest Jeep wreckers is a good ways away, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for !
Excuse the musical cover interlude, but this sounds great on your desktop with a sub woofer!
