Utah KJ
Free State of Florida
I have an 06 CRD with 107K miles on it. I've driven it through the highest altitudes of CO, the hottest deserts of SE UT to the door-handle deep swamp trails of S FL and I always get home.
When the vehicle was bone stock, I was getting 26 mpg which came in handy when I used to drive it 15 hrs per day all over the rockies in all types of weather. After I added armor, steel F&R bumpers, winch, 32" tires and lift, my mpgs dropped to 18 mpg. After I added 4.10 gears, my mpgs went up to what I get today: 21 mpg.
The CRD is the only way to go for the serious enthusiast, I wouldn't have purchased a KJ if not for the option. In late 2006, I searched nation wide for 3 mos for one but now it might be somewhat easier to come by one.
As for the LOST CRD forum, I'm not sure anyone would buy a CRD after reading through those posts. For the record, I've done none of the modifications the group think says are required.
