2003 JEEP LIBERTY KJ

This is a 2003 Jeep KJ Sport. It is powered by a 3.7L V6 matched to a 5 speed manual transmission and a 4 wheel drive system.  The KJ came stock with power windows, power locks, a/c, radio/cd, fog lamps, remote entry, factory tinted windows.  I purchased the KJ in the fall of 2006 with roughly 70,000 miles on it.  And now as of the fall of 2009 the Jeep is a couple hundred miles short of 100,000 miles.  I couldn't leave the Jeep alone when I got it, and I still am not done with it.  All modifications have been performed in personal garages and driveways with some help from friends.  Please feel free to leave comments.  Enjoy...

The addition of the off-road lights help very much on dark country roads and they look great.

Additional light source for backing-up at night, great help with having tinted windows.

Hey I see you found the smoked signals...sorry I just checked my page today for the first time in awhile. I got mine on eBay. Dude I gotta tell ya our Jeeps are almost identical. I just sold my Moab rims and put black steelies on. I have the tinted windows and a five speed! Only thing different is your roof rack and front bumper lights! Anyway nice ride and keep up the good work!

Hey man nice looking jeep and thanks for checking out my camaro. 5 stars for you. I really like that you did all the work on your jeep, with the help of friends when needed. Thats the way to go in my opinion to feel like you accomplished something instead of paying for it to be done. Thanks again for checking out my camaro and I like the lift on your jeep. Cya around.
