yeah i see that, its funny when i first bought my Jeep, all I saw were KJs on the road, i was like wtf?!? i didn't know it was so popular. the reason why i went with th KJ was because my mom previously owned a 05 KJ renegade, and she loved it. shes still a proud jeep owner, but upgraded to the KK.

 

[BigRich201]

same here i see at least 10 kjs on the road a day. my pops had an 05 kj and that was the first thing i drove when i was learning to drive and i fell in love with it. he wanted to upgrade to the KK also but it wasnt out yet when his lease on the kj was up so now he has a WK. when we went shopping for cars for me i was on the hunt for a kj. we went from dealership to dealership lookin at used cars when we finally went to a toyota dealership. my mom calls me and tells me to go to the back lot and there was the kj just sitting there waiting for me to take it home.

 

[Bmxbika11]

yeah, i looked around for about five months, i saw a few KJs but wasnt really impressed with any of them. Than I was on my way to my cousins and I passed the Honda dealership, and there she was gleaming in the sun hahah....i couldn't resist, i pulled over, made a U-turn, and that next day bought it lol...BTW, you like your HIDs? I was thinking about upgrading mine.

 

[BigRich201]

i love em. so much brighter than stock. i got the 2 tone hids. my low beams are halogen and my high beams are hids. i already confused the hell outta a few cops already that tried to pull me over for hids. when i see a cop behind me at night i go under a really bright street light and flick them off and they just turn on another block because they thought they can catch me. but if u get hids make sure u tell them u want the ballasts with the bracket. my ballasts didnt come with the bracket instead they came with this not so sticky adhesive. as a temporary solution till i can find brackets for them i have one ballast zip tied to the battery and the other zip tied to the pcm.

 

[Bmxbika11]

ahahha good idea....and any particular type of HIDs you can recommend? I'm not to car savy, but I'm getting better...

 

[BigRich201]

get the 2 tone kit like i have. i dont remeber the brand but but if u ask around im sure u will find it. and if u do decide to get HIDs get 6000K. its white with a little tint of blue. they call it diamond white
