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. 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...
As of February 2012; the Jeep now has 130,000 miles on it, a new clutch kit, replaced transmission, replaced front cv axles...

This is what the KJ was like when I first got it..
Progression..
Original stereo, head unit is not the same as the current and subwoofer is currently not installed.
The addition of the off-road lights help very much on dark country roads and they look great.
Lift kit with wheels and tires before and after, also front window tint and roof cross rails.
The KJ needed alittle bit of pick-me-up parts.
Additional light source for backing-up at night, great help with having tinted windows.
Some exterior extras.
New radio and painted dash to simulate a Liberty Limited, before and after.
Off-road lights, mounted to the factory roof rails.
Rear cargo shelf, easy bolt and unbolt installation. Coated in bedliner for durability. (trying to get clearer pictures)
