Good score on the KJ. I'm pretty partial to Jeeps, I have a fairly modified XJ myself (lift, bumpers, rear disc brake swap, etc.) and it also tows great. But between 02-11 the Jeeps with the 3.7/3.8 v6 motors don't seem to perform as well as the old tried and true 4.0 I6 that mine has, they also seems to wear out and have oil burning issues somewhat early on. The new 3.6 Pentastar
for the 12+ seem promising compared to the 3.7/3.8.
Though if you're not hard on it (like wheeling it every weekend/pushing high RPM like most Wrangler guys) it should last and do anything you need, and as for towing, it might have roughly the same rating as my XJ but the unibody is stronger on the KJs vs the XJs. Though I will say I know I've towed 5k if not more with my XJ back before I got the Yukon and it did fine.
Paint on the Tahoe looks good, can't wait to see it running and moving.
All honsesty since last I posted untill today Ive done that work in like 5 days . Ive been working on the household cars.Sweet! You've made awesome progress!
Reds good color. Matches my interior.Wow, i love it, but i may be partial to red anyways

Ive read there demise is from being over heated. The 3.7 is known t drop valve seats. . But you know what one of there biggest areas that are weak their cooling system. Because jeep offered a clutch fan with the tow package the E-fan doesnt move enough air . Your sister is one of the lucky ones.as far as the 3.7s most ive seen dont live to 150k past either surprisingly my sisters is at almost 320k all ighway but that damn thing is rotting out the wierdest way
Get the k2xx style mirror! If they look good on yours im gonna buy a set lol
I have a yukon also I changed the grille and lights. I dont like the huge GMC logo in the front.
I would of preferred body on frame like the wrangles. Maybe for the here and now there better but there is so much more you can do with a body on frame truck . Theres a reason those old CJs are still floating around with LSX swaps and stuff.
I got the KJ for 400$ from a mother of three. While there was every sticky substance imaginable all over the inside of the KJ from the kids. It was it decent shape still. She didnt know but her electric fan went out and it developed rod knock from over heating.
From everything Ive read the 3.7s are really bad engines. Ive read dont expect more than 150k out of the three seven. But I got into an 05 KJ for 1600$ with a 72k motor. I cant complain.
You know whats cool though , HP tuners plugs right into the 05+ KJs ecm. At least there is some tune ability.
Did the pictures I sent you of mine help any?
