20 ôLifted 99 Kia sportage $2600


99 Kia sportage 2 door lift about 20" has coil over rear with Sami axle and leaf front with sami axle 5:13 gears out of a tracker motor, trans and transfer case are out of a 2001 itÆs a 5 SPd but it comes with the original auto trans and transfercase runs and drives could be put on the road if you wanted but was built as a crawler 4wd works tranny shifts good clutch is tight has 35-15-15 super swampers on it. 2.0 liter 4cyl no rust at all on the body . This thing is awsome and its the biggest kia around! needs some odds and ends to be put on the road but could be taken to yankee or wellsvile right now. ItÆs huge and a real head turner! I have to many toys so I have to let it go.

Call or text me at 330-861-6465

If you want to trade it better be AWESOME and no electronics cash preferred


All it needs to be put on the road is tires balanced a steering stabilizer and front shocks and a top if you want the people in the back to stay dry

Poor little Sporty <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> That thing looks like crap. The ladder bars are just begging to high center you.

He needs to throw some billet wheels on it because all it is is show car/mall crawler in my book.

I'm blocked from looking at it at work because the filter thinks it has something to do with sports. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
That's the drive line that is hanging down so low. Major angle because of so much lift and being a short wheel base.

It's in Ohio.

Ok, the sammi axles have a right dif offset, the Kia t-case is centered, something is just odd here.

Still a show car/mall crawler. No way would the u-joints hold up to much off roading.

I think it's in Kent, right around the corner from me. But I think it was originally in PA for about $800. I doubt there are two that look like that. When I saw it advertised in PA, they could not find the front drive shaft.

01 Convertible; Electric Fan; 3" Up Your Kia lift spacers; Tj 104's; 31x10.5x15's on Centerlines; Rear LSD.
GONE, all I have left are a few spare parts and the wheels.

Holy Cow!!! Three solid axle KIA Sportages like Dave's!!! Two are on Toyota axle's, but not sure on that two door. Can't quite see.

Interesting setup on the blue one. Extended frame and leaf springs.
