Redrider39 · 10-09-2009, 08:08 AM

I'm new to the forum. What is the difference in a KK and KJ liberty??

02-07 Libertys are KJs and 08-10 are KKs. KK is 2nd gen.

Just depends on who you talk to and how each rig is built

Hmm...so, what are the mechanical differences (other than the body/looks) that occured at changeover from KJ to KK? Is either more capable off road or are they about the same? Stock vs Stock, of course...

Refreshed motor, Different computer system, different T case, front diff, interior, slight diff in the suspension, rear suspension, seats, drive shafts............ Just to name a few

Just a reminder for some. We had 2 sessions with the Jeep Engineers that could be worth reading if you have the time. It's just good info anyway.

Personal opinions mean a lot to me too so keep those questions coming. I read them too.

The Dode Nitro version of the platform has a 3.7 & 4.0 engine option. The JEEP Liberty version only comes with a 3.7 engine, you can't get it with a 4.0. HOWEVER, you can buy a Nitro, and get all the Liberty logos and stuff, and have a 4.0 Liberty, say it's RARE.
