Does anyone have anymore specs on these two Libbys?

What size tires is this guy running? Just curious. They look good on those wheels. There's one other guy here that's running the 6 spoke Libby wheels on his TJ. looks good and they are the same bolt pattern.

How much lift is on this one and what size tires? Would it be considered a waste of money to put a small lift on a 2wd Libby? I wheel my TJ, but I really like the stance of that KJ. Looks great.

oh man your gonna make me have to think here.
the first one, I cant remember the guys name but IIRC he is the new owner of Jeepin by Al, and that is his 6" lift and he is open front and maybe a powertrax in the rear on 32" tires he got a 641 on an RTI ramp

now the second I know more about, he is running an OME lift like me but he add a couple more pieces to his so he actually netted about 4", ARB front bumper Moab wheels on 265/70, open front and rear I believe with a Rock Lizard Fabrications roof rack.

and the orange KJ back when he still have the OEM diffs had a DTT in the front and an ARB in the rear, custom paint job that he did, it was orginally black, ARB front with Warn 8k winch and a Rock Lizards rear bumper and rock rails, bedliner on his roof and beltline down on 32" tires

on the KJs we dont typically go past 32" tires since the front diff is really kind of crappy, now on the KK you can because you can go deeper on te gears and the front diff is more reinforced, here is a KK with custom front and rear bumpers on 3-4" of lift and 33" ARB lockers and a titan 12k winch

That would solve all your problems with it being a libby man. DO IT

The guy with the 33's on the KK also built his front and rear bumpers. If only they put a 4.7 in the KK...

..Wow, ya'll shut epeck the hell up quick.

Dude...why would you waste your money making your rig what you want? Making a libby into a capable rig is such a bad idea

**Apex** · 06-23-2009, 10:44 PM

^^^ that was sarcasm by the way..those libbys look awesome

well to be honest if I would have known I was going to be getting this much into building and off-roading I wouldnt have spent soo much on my KJ and I would have bought my CJ7 earlier and put all that money into it.

yeah he has a stock TJ with a noob tubular bumper. He obviously doesnt get that a KJ could possibly out wheel him

How reliable are those KJ's? I've seen a bunch for sale with 80K+ miles. Seems like a lot. Saw a real sweet diesel with 30K the other day. Wish I had the money for that one.
