Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)
What
is a KJ? |
Each
new unique model of vehicle that Jeep makes is given a two letter
model code. For the new Jeep Liberty (starting 2001), that model
code is "KJ". Modern Jeeps all have model codes ending
in "J". For instance, the latest Jeep Wrangler (97-current)
is a TJ and the Jeep Wrangler prior to that (years 1987-1995)
are YJs. Cherokees are XJ's while Grand Cherokees are ZJs. |
What
tires sizes will fit on my Liberty with and without a lift?
|
Good
question! Research is being done right now to answer that and
you can be sure that the major aftermarket lift companies are
working on their lift kits for the Liberty right now. So far,
all I can offer you the following table for Wranglers. Note
that Jeep Wrangler YJ and TJ are different. Also, tires sizes
between manufacturers are not the same size. Some tires have
a thicker lug and are thus a little taller than the indicated
size and vice versa.

Don't
forget that tire WIDTH also matters. The tires might fit under
your rig but may rub when you turn. You might also need to modify
the width of your fender flares if your tires extend past the
ones you have on there now. Some states require that your tires
be covered completely by fender wells or flares to prevent debris
from flying.

Is
this really a club? How do I join?
|
This
is a virtual club of Jeep Liberty owners and enthusiasts but we
don't meet physically anywhere. We will, however, be adding forums
and such so that we can all communicate and share information.
We feel that since you own a Wrangler, you're already part of
the "club." All Jeep Liberty owners/enthusiasts can
join and those who would like to be owners can be our guests. |
Where
can I find more information about Jeep Libertys, in particular? |
Check
out www.jeepsonly.com.
It's intended to be a Yahoo! style directory for information specifically
for Jeep owners and/or enthusiasts. You're likely to find much
Jeep Liberty information there. |
|
What's
New
|
Just
launching this site. Don't worry, although this version is infomative
and functional, we're planning on automating some features such
as letting you add yourself to the club.

Thanks

An
automated form is coming soon but for now, just email me to
ask to be a part of the Jeep Liberty club. Tell me what kind
of Jeep you own and either email me a picture or a link to a
picture.
