KIA is used a lot more in other countries... it might be a really good platform. Kia's remind me of the older Jeeps were they have parts from other manufactures (I think they use a Toyota rear axle, ect...)

I know NewFoundFreedom is running a 2006 Kia Sorento... Now to just get him to do a build up thread!

I think the Sorrento is a nice SUV but I figured they would never have an aftermarket so I didn't really look at them. Just interesting/nice to see people still build real body on frame SUVs.

ARB has a nudge bar and lift springs and shocks for the Sorrento.

I really like my Kia. ARB does make some stuff for it. I am starting to work with a shop around here to see if they can build some stuff for me. As of now though your right its tough to get anything aftermarket for it.

What size tire can you mount with the Old Man Emu suspension?
