I agree with that as well, and I think thats one of the issues that's address in the KK.
The other thing I think that could have been done differently is the a pillar plastic cover, I feel that that its-self cuts some of your visibility.
A couple of my other major grips that seem to have been corrected on the KK.
-Oh my gawd handles: None on the KJ, sure theres the pillar handle, but its useless for anyone over 5 feet tall. You either need it to be lifted massively, or be a small person to use it. Those a-pillar handles make sense on a fullsize truck, but on the KJ are just awkward.
-Door lock posts, maybe I'm the only person who sets my arm on the windowsill, or drapes it out the side during nice weather, but the door lock posts interfere with my elbow in an annoying way. It makes sense to have them sticking up on a vehicle with manual locks, but I've never found a KJ with manual locks, all auto. IMO it should have been done like a tab like on the XJ, or done is such a way that when they are locked they sit flush with the door panel.
Anyways, this topic has been beat to death before, and this is not even a KJ forum!
