Title: New here
Post by: Purpletj on December 25, 2009, 03:21:03 PM
New guy here. My name is Ricky. I was linked to this forum from google and Im currently restoring a 96 KX5. I am having difficulty locating some pictures and just maybe the members here can help me. This yr. came with the violet plastics and seat and I going back to original including decals. Can anyone help? Here are a few pics of the teardown. The frame is currently sent off for sandblasting and painting. Stay tuned ....

OOOPs I misunderstood. I googled the 96 and came up with some pics. If you have all the purple stuff then all you need is graphics, right?

All I need is graphices and the radiator shrouds. I have found sites that have the parts. But was looking to see what the finished product might be, Not just a blakc and white parts diagrams.

TJ is a model for a jeep wrangler.  The follow pics are before the second lift kit and bigger tires. In the pic below I had only 33's at the time. The tires im parked on are 38's.

Wow. Thats definately uniquie. Mine was an original color they only made in 97. Jeep/Chrysler marketed this color to get more female drivers into the Jeeps.
