You can go to a 4.88 in a KK front diff, but I can’t imagine how you’d get tires that large to fit under it with the limitations of IFS. At this point a SFA swap would make more sense.

That’s a bummer. I am not sure this part comes without a whole new fuel pump attached. But with an 02, your Liberty may need one soon anyway. Replacing the whole unit could save you the hassle of being stranded down the road.

Yes, they are side specific. I remember the driver side one being kind of a pain to get in. Especially the rear bolt, which you have to reach underneath the wheel well from outside of the engine bay to get it in. But it just takes some shoving in, along with some wiggling back-and-forth to get...

Nice work! Amazing that it is plug and play with no reprogramming. Can you show a picture of the new steering wheel? Is it like the old one with the stalk or is it one of the new style wheels with buttons on the spokes?

Raising the height will cause toe-in without aligning.

Great job. That's got to feel satisfying to have those working again. :cool:

Those lights look great!

I need to do some rewiring. Some of this problem is because of the previous owner and some is from a past version of myself being lazy 10 years ago. The trailer harness, a rear inverter, and a manual switch for the dome lights are all powered on the same circuit. That's not cool. Each of those 3...

My experience doing this was I had to remove the arm, drill multiple holes in the rubber bushing, put it in my press and push out the center, then take a sawzall and slice the outer metal sleeve, then tap it out with a hammer & screwdriver. Then I pressed in a new Moog bushing. I hope you can do...

I am not sure on the KJ, but on the KK at least, the Jeep will start up fine and then die in about 2 seconds without the proper transponder signal from the key. Where yours wouldn't fire up at all, I would suspect something other than the SKIM module. But again, I am not sure if the KJ behavior...

This is such a cool project.

Yes, the ground is good. I think I just figured it out though. The fuse to the harness is blown out. :facepalm: Should have checked that first. But since I had directionals and brake lights, I assumed incorrectly the fuse was still good. But the harness must have been tapping the tail light...

Interestingly enough, my trailer harness is having issues, so now my trailer has no running lights. The brakes and directionals all work fine on the trailer, and the running lights work on the Jeep. I have the problem isolated to a broken wire somewhere between the wire harness running light...

Looks good. Is it already lifted?
