Hi all.
I know, i know, i don't have a KJ yet.
right now i have a 2008 mazda mazdaspeed3, which is an absolutely fantastic car... BUT it's not for me. I've decided i'm growing up(i'm 28 now for poops sake!) and i'm getting ready to start a family, so it's time for something with a little less power but can do so so so much more. when the KJ first came out my mom had one and she absolutely loved it(as did i). it was her replacement for her 5.9 GC ltd.
anyway, the catalyst for this decision was constantly getting stuck at my office since it floods so often here in houston. my mazda can pass maybe 3" of water(ok more, but you get the idea). i also really miss camping and offroading and hunting and all the cool things you can do with a vehicle designed to run over stuff. i haven't had a vehicular adventure since i had my 1985 chevy K5 blazer. plus, i play a LOT of guitar, and really the main thing keeping me out of a band right now is an inability to transport my equipment to a jam session.
right now i'm on the hunt for that "perfect" KJ. i've found a few that interest me but nothing absolutely mindblowing, although there's a 07 sport locally that i want to take a look at since it's a 6 speed.
thanks for the forum. i'll be spending a lot of time lurking and getting the feel of things here, as well as doing as much research as my poor OCD brain can handle.
