I do not get that one either! tug
Yes, KJ is the universally accepted term (probably one of many) for the Jeep Liberty. I recall a couple threads on other forums that listed LJ for the 4WD version and KJ for the 2WD version. However, everyone just calls it a KJ regardless.
Do you have a KJ now? What model (Sport, Limited, Renegade, Columbia Edition, Rocky Mountain Edition, Freedom Edition, etc.)? Planning on any mods yet?
Here's a link to my Cardomain.com site. Lift install date is Thursday.

KJ = Liberty
Hey! welcome!!
As long as you enjoy that Libby, you have nothing to worry about the people around here!
I have wheeled with a number of libby's stock and lifted and I am always amazed at there capabilities. I have noticed three distinct down falls of these vehicles though. In stock trim, poor approach angles, if you got the fog lights, might as well take a hammer and shatter them. I have seen more KJ's loss theirs on hill climbs. once lifted, they rub a lot while turning lock to lock on the front fender flare. Both of these issues can easily be solved with a ARB bumper. The last draw back is, when lifted, the tire selection is few and due to the wheel wells, you need to stick to the pizza cutter tires, and when aired down, are more likely to blow a bead.
Other than that awesome!! Here is a tip though, before you lift it or anything, get some armor under there!
Also check out www.kjjeep.com
They are also a nice group of people and probably help you out more than I ever could.
I think zskys is a member over there as well.
