I'm wondering the same thing. My rear hatch tailgate window is pushed over about 1/8 of an inch and hitting on the bottom of the pillar. It's starting to prevent it from closing correctly. Anyone have thoughts on adjusting it? The last thing I need is that window to pop when one of my kids try...

ok I hate to bring up really old posts but this needs to be updated. First, the new Sirius Radio's have a voltage step down in the cig-lighter plug so they go from 12V down to 5.2V. If you try and use 12V the radio just will not turn on so you need the voltage thing. There are a couple ways...

Takes about 20 minutes with a couple of normal hand tools. The wiring harness is made to plug into the Jeep wiring harness so no splicing is required. It is very very easy.

I missed the LOST event this year for Big Bear but the wife and I drove up for the weekend of "camping" (i.e. Best Western). Here is a pic from the trail we were on today. Easy level 1 stuff but fun and great scenery. I made it a little bigger but it is worth it...

The old standard for drum brakes was to check them every second time you replace the front disk pads. Just pull the drum cover off and check the wear/blow out all the brake dust. They are not hard to change. It's alot easier if you get the two special tools for drum setups. A spring compressor...

I bought it online some time ago. It is the MOPAR version. Here is one of the many places you can find it: http://www.jeepworld.com/accessories/liberty/bikeracks.htm To install you remove the spare tire but when your all done the spare is still on the vehicle along with the bike rack. You can...

Let me know when Bennet, your always welcome out here. I'm probably going to join the LOST crew in SoCal as well. More cool stuff to do! btw, my lovely wife is already planning some trips into the mountains around San Diego since the desserts are going to be way to hot to go into until next fall.

The lovely wife again dragged me kicking and screaming <wink> to a National Park here is SoCal. This time we headed 2.5 hours north to Joshua Tree National Park. My wife has been through the park in her car but she wants to go back to all the parks in the Jeep now that she discovered the...

I think I smell a mod coming! This bothers me as well...why not light all four switches...wonder if it's one switch unit or four seperate switches and if so wonder how much DC is getting for them :-)

I have the MOPAR tire mount bike rack. We like it. The bikes are much easier to get to for my wife as she is under 5'6". The roof rack she'd never be able to get the bikes down! As for the load issue, if MOPAR is selling it you can be pretty sure there is not much chance for long term damage to...

Hey Clint, Just downloaded the membership form today. We have a Bone Stock 05 KJ Limited...no skid plates, no tow hooks, and those darn 17" minivan tires. We'd like to attend Big Bear. I have some questions... What trails could we do right now? Can we bring our small dog? What is the first...

Yeah I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering so the test should not be too hard. I just need to read through the material :-) Hey skidplate, what kind of unit are you going to mount in the Jeep and how?

No idea why, but that is where the VIN number is located on the sticker. I hope they did not give you a sticker from a different Jeep!!

they always pull this with my wife. I always try and take the cars in now when they need to go in and if it's just for an oil change I tell them up front only to do the oil and what to use. for some reason these people think when they see a female they can take advantage...

I have been considering getting my Amat. Radio (aka HAM) lic. Anyone else have this or thought about it? It would be cool to have out on the trails and such.
