Help Guys!
« on: November 13, 2011, 21:15:16 »
Ok.... as a confirmed Land Rver fan I'm feeling a bit weird being in here... but hey ho... I'll press on...

The wife has gone to the dark side and swapped her Range Rover Classic LSE for a Jeep Cherokee(?)/Liberty(?) - Can't tell which cuz I see both names used for two different vehicles that look similar when I browse the US/UK websites. See the pic below for refernce.

Anyways... with Christmas coming up I wanted to look at such things as light bars, snorkels, and other such off-roadery things. But it's a real struggle to find anything.

Can anyone point me in some directions please? BTW... I have already looked at some old posts but wanted to see if there were any new ideas.

Thanks

Search for alien snorkels, it's one of the guys from JeepJunkies runs this. Safari snorkel reps, they've been getting good reports on other forums. NOT made from fibreglass.
Yours for circa £100 brand new and delivered, or ya could spend close to £400 on a genuine safari job.  :cheesy:

RRB... hello there matey.... Yes.. I know....! Still needs must... we discovered we'd been driving around without an MOT for 7 months! god knows how we missed every ANPR system in the country!

Needs a new rear x-member... frnot edge of bonnet is starting to go.... doors need some attention... and a bloodty good service. Apart from that...

It has a LR fitted (at 55,000m) 4.6.... yes... 4.6!! Original 5 spoke colour coded alloys. Good upper and lower tailgate.... it's a shame really. Would love it to go to a good home (drops a reather heavy hint...!!)

Right..Its a KJ Liberty as known here ..Cherokee in US

2 sites for parts are JeepinbyAl and KOR - Kevins off road

2 us web sites to follow up for tips are LOST Jeeps and Jeep forum

Not many have been modded in the UK but it may pay to see if there is any info on Australian sites as well
