I was parked next to my friend's `02 Grand Cherokee in a driveway and a few of us were looking at them from the front and everyone commented on how big my KJ looked compared to the WJ. He had just bought brand new GY Wrangler SR/A's (I told him to send them back) so everything being equal (I am not lifted yet):
They said:
1. The front seats sit higher in the KJ (gives us a better view)
2. The upper body is wider and overall it looks wider
3. The eyes (headlights) look more ominous
4. Looks just more bad ass than the WJ
They wanted me to turn on my light bar. They all said "Cool!"
That made my night....well, my night went better after I raked in the money from our night of Texas Hold `em.

What I like about our Limited;
The front & rear end(s) appearance of the KJ.
Heated Mirrors.
Luxury Interior!
Overhead on-board computer system. (forgive me, I forget the proper name).
Mixed Emotions;
Window switches. Took getting used to but it's okay for me now.
Heated Seats*
Rear door opening. Again, took getting used to but I've adjusted. I also agree the auto rear glass lift is nice.
Hood design; Although I really like the '02 - '04 hood / frontend design, I think bug deflectors look horrid on a KJ!
(Btw; snow / rain can drip onto the doors interior of a "Limited" where the elect. mirror & door lock switches are located but thats something most autos have to deal with).
What I dislike;
*Heated Seat Switch, the person who placed the switches on the seat side was a friggin' moron. I'm always toasting my **** before I realize I've bumped that damn switch again. Otherwise, having heated seats is nice when you live in snow country.
The KJ's profile. (Side View). It's not the most attractive vehicle from this view. My post, my opinion.
What I dislike most of all is the lack of really kewl mods for the KJ!! C'mon guys, we're Jeep too! Which brings me to ask.....
Does anyone else feel a sense of pride when sitting at a red light alongside most other SUV's? If it's a Nissan, Toyota or Honda, I think, *** crap and feel proud to be driving an American tradition! However when sitting alongside a BMW X5 or MB SUV, I can't help but think, the closest this guy gets to extreme is a speedbump at the supermarket. I fight the urge to tell him, dude you bought a overpriced grocery-getter. I bite my tongue and just drive away feeling really proud I understand "It's A Jeep thing!"

I like that I'm no longer sacrificing to drive a Jeep. After 3 Wranglers its nice to have the comfort and offroad ability of the Liberty. =D>

HA! When I lived in Rochester New York those boneheads would run around me in my XJ all summer long then in the winter I'd pull next to them at a light, put it in 4 Hi and drive right away from them. I used to tell them they could go fats when it was nice but I could pull a house and could go everywhere all year round! I even drove in two blizzards just for fun! This was the reason I favored the KJ over any other vehicle...the XJ was a tank and the KJ just picked that up *and* improved alot of it!

ALL THE TIME!!!! Especially once it starts snowing and all of those so called SUV's are stuck in ditches on the side of the road.

I agee that it is nice having a Jeep, being a classic. But I would rather have a Japanese designed/ engineered vehicle then most by the Big Three. I do not recall where I saw it, but DC had three or four of it's vehicles on the top ten worse car list for quality and resale (the Neon was number one).

If the high beams are left on (accidentally or intentionally) they will reset back to low beams once the lights off

The HUGE washer fluid tank so maybe that isnt "a little thing". I havent filled it since my last oil change 3 months ago and just yesterday the lowash indicator came on. I have been using my squirters non-stop in this salty sluchy weather.
