Some minor mods I'm planning to do . . .

1. Add wheel locks.
2. Put a cover of some kind on the hitch. (Probably one with the Jeep or Liberty logo.)
3. License plate frame of some kind (not sure what yet).
4. Bumper plugs on the front bumper. (Just waiting for them to get my color in stock, which should only be a couple weeks.)
5. Door sill plates. (I just think these look really cool! LOL!)
6. Pedal covers.
7. Tint the front windows to match the back.

I had been thinking about doing the chrome door handle covers and/or chrome mirror caps, but I dunno. Y'all are starting to talk me out of my love of chrome! I've been hangin out at JF too much! LOL!

Any advice from anyone who has done these things to their KK? Or any ideas for other mods I should consider? (Please just don't suggest a lift and new tires! I already wanna do that bad enough so don't torture me! LOL!) Thanks, everyone!

LOL! Exactly. I wanna get those little things done to make it more "mine" and then I'll think about maybe doing some bigger stuff.

Ohhhhh, I've got the skids! That was on the must-get list when I was picking out options!

The vent visors are a good idea. I'll have to look into those.

If you like chrome, get chrome. It is a personal preference thing. Don't let our unqualified opinions on appearance sway you. Done right, the Liberty looks good dressed up in chrome.

Yeah, I'll have to give it some more thought. I do like chrome, but the Jet already has a good bit of chrome so I don't want to over-do it. Also, I keep seeing pics that everyone has posted where they have blacked out just about everything on their KK and I'm starting to love that look!

Thanks! The color is hard to capture in pics. The blue is actually just a little lighter in person, and it has some metal flake so it really looks nice in the sun. Hopefully we'll have another sunny day soon and I can try to get more pics!

That sucks about your Monte Carlo. I bet those Missouri winters are nasty.
