Ah, with about 4 inches of rain in the last several weeks all of the little creeks were overflowing in Virginia. I finally got a chance to get my KK really dirty in some peanut butter like mud. However, this being my first real romp in the KK since I bought it the biggest shortcoming was hard to miss. It wasn't the stock suspension or balding crap tires. It was the super low front bumper and subsequent plastic skirt along the bottom that served as an anchor for most of the ride. It was like pushing a piano in front of the jeep the whole time. I now have gravel and small rocks wedged into the little plastic skirt so hard I have to pry them out with a screwdriver. Every time I look at the bumper now I want to whip out a power saw and cut the mother off. It's f***ing HUGE and low riding and is the only thing that seems to always rub on something. It was a smaller issue in the winter when parking on top of the snow mounds in commercial parking lots. You know, the spots that nobody else can park in. :Bye: That's the fun of having a jeep right? Anyway, it was dragging then but I didn't car as much. Just seems to me the the angle of approach is terrible, like super terrible. There are several alternatives for KJ guys who manage to still protect there radiator and such without this monstrosity dangling off the front end. Where's the love for the KK? It's not like it's been out since '08 or anything. I see guys building custom jobs out of desperation but I'm no metal fabricator. Is anyone cutting, modding or finding alternatives to fix this annoying issue? Granted, a lift would help but i'm not sitting on $1,800 for a proper suspension lift. Am i the only only one who feels this way? I'd love to have something like the custom fabrications that crop up from time to time.
