Looking good!!! Glad to see them getting dirty. Now all he needs is a "got groceries?" sticker. One thing I don't care too much for is the spare being mounted where it is....

does anyone know if an oversize (bigger than OE) would fit in the spare spot?

if it doesnt, that blows, its like the new land rovers, lr2 and lr3

 

[o8k]

i would rather land on that tire than my fuel tank =p not to mention that my oversized spare makes the rear door squeek and rattle over the bumps off roading because of the wight i guess... noisy anyhow... tho i wouldnt wanna have to crawl under the car to get the spare out and dispite my complaining, i like where the kj spare is better also =)

is there a lift for the kk yet?
there was some quick disconnect sway bar looking thing under that kk... what was that?

 

[AbsoluteRenegade]

yeah daystar makes the only lift i know of. i dontlike the spare under there, nor do i like the top heavy rover look. whats up with the exaust, looks like two exausts

i would rather land on that tire than my fuel tank =p

I would rather land on the skid that is covering my gas tank than to land on a tire. I would also rather have a break over angle than to land on a gas tank.

Those are neat pic's. I like the rims but I also do not like the spare tire underneith.

I wonder if there is an aftermarket rear mount for the KK spare? It would look good on the back and keep it out of harm's way I think.

NOW I get it! If you are on a trail & have a flat, it could be a real pain to change. I'll stick to the gate mount or carry it on top. Too bad it isn't internal the way my step-son's "Kee" was mounted...

 

[Diggerfreek]

so you guys like my pictures do you?

 

[yoda13]

Someone will come out with a rack to mount the spare out back I am sure...the gas tanks aren't in back of the JKs anymore either...I remember waiting for lifts when I first had my KJ too, they will come....overall, I like the look of the new KK...

 

[Dave]

...the gas tanks aren't in back of the JKs anymore either...

New Federal requirement......no more gas tanks mounted in the rear for safery reasons. They are supposed to be further forward and between the frame rails for protection.

Cool, I knew it was for safety reasons, but I didn't know that it was mandated by Uncle Sam...

so you guys like my pictures do you?

Yep, they are cool. Our new 08 Liberty replaces the wife's Camery One of the owners of the Jeep dealership got a kick out of my wife while we were picking up the Liberty, this past Saturday - They had an o6 there that see call "cute". Made me glad they changed the body style

Both our Jeeps -

All I can think about see those pics is,

Hrmmm,

Relocate spare tire to basket up top,
Install a 2.5 gallon air tank and compressor in the space that WAS for the tire,
Throw an after market piece of steel on the back to replace the plastic bumper...

Missing anything so far?

Looks good!

interesting isn't it that they are making them relocate all the gas tanks on new vehicles, seems like GM was in a bunch of trouble from supposedly bad gas tank location on their pickups, mmmm yes they were in the middle, stupid government and insurance companies

oh and the side hits of the GM trucks and the explosions were all faked just to make it all look good as well.


Oh and by the way the new Libertys are still dog ugly, I will drive cute before dog ugly
