Default How long have you had your KK

Just curious as to how long everyone has owned their KK?

Just seems as they are getting older we are getting less and less posts on this forum.

Today I registered the KK for the 7th time! And haven't got 70000k on the clock yet.

Bought my KK in June 2017 with 39000 on clock. Retired so still only 56000 kilometres. Needed trans service and 2 fl ozs of shudder fix. Love driving this car. Also have an XJ with nearly 300000 and it has become a "keeper" along with my HJ 4.2 4sp Kingswood. Andrew

Hi

I think ours was in the first shipment due to the Freedom Pack and few other things.
Had a lot of trouble with an exhaust O2 sensor, it never stopped just an annoying dash light.
Apart from that it has been fantastic, got about 140k on it

I had mine 14 mth .had 58'000 Kim on the clock .That's why I bought it . A 2012 with 58k on the clock turbo desiel .and yes I think it's great to drive .with the lift and tyres its orsem off road. But it is disappointing with the after market accessories for them. As not many and hard to get if you can .now has 73'000 on the clock. I also have well i should say my wife has a 2012 WK2 Grand Cherokee Desiel. 87'000 on the clock now. Love driving that also. But not aloud to play it that one hahahaha yet

Mine has only 76000k on the clock. Not used much at all. But it's starting to get some niggling issues. Noisy a/c. Right side dash lights go off when they feel like it. Odometer button sticks and resets to 0 every time the ignition is turned on. A mystery whine has started at highway speeds. It also refused to wash itself on weekends!

I'm looking at replacing it with a Ranger or Colorado. Then I think of the $$$$$$ I have to find to swap over. That $$$$$$$ will pay a lot of repairs on the KK.

The thing is confidence is warring thin with the KK. A water pump left me stranded on the side of the highway on a Sunday 60ks from nowhere. A battery decided to quit on me. And my front brakes failed after only 71000k.

What to do?
