Any KJ fans? How about a mini pickup?
« on: October 02, 2012, 07:51:36 PM »








The owner runs a collision shop and this was a write-off he fixed for himself.
Not my cup of tea but he did a fantastic job inside and out, looks like it could have come from the factory like this.

That's a sweet Libby. Looks like it came from the factory. I have a soft spot for KJ's but the 3.7 is more of a gas pig than my tractor 4.0 in my XJ.

I hate to say it, and I really mean I hate it, buuut they remind of rav4s, and for some odd reason, this makes it worse. All it needs is a little more chrome, some Tasmanian devil mudflaps and a toy store on the dash.

considering why he did it, it looks very good.
Practical? not at all. You lose the ability of front comfort seating options, the bed of the truck can not carry anything worthwhile (quad/bike).

Yeah, it's kind of like the SWB TJ half cabs, no interior space and not much of a box.

 Is a TJ/CJ/JK practical?  If you where to buy it, it would be because you liked it, not because it's practical...

I actually haven't seen to many quads/bikes/snowmobiles in any small truck for that matter...
