    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I washed my car for the first time this year and went on a short trip. The sun in May is very strong, Even an old body looks beautiful.

    Vibration between 40-55, worst at 50, started 2 months ago

    Does the vibration occur when the AT is locked up with O/D? Or does it vibrate in any gear?

    Vibration between 40-55, worst at 50, started 2 months ago

    Does it have traction control or stability control? Can you try disabling them?

    Vibration between 40-55, worst at 50, started 2 months ago

    I don't know anything related to AT control, but If it vibrates without sound, Something heavy must be eccentric. If there are no loose parts, Is something stuck between the wheel and the hub? Have you replaced the lug nuts with shorter ones? Is the rear lower arm bushing damaged and the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I forgot to close the coolant cap a few months ago. I ended up getting the hood liner covered in coolant. I closed the cap after a few days, but I couldn't get the smell off. I washed it yesterday and the smell went away.

    Gas mileage

    If you change the tires from 29 inches to 31 inches, When cruising at 100 km/h, the motor speed will drop by about 100 rpm. If there are fewer slopes, This will effectively improve fuel efficiency. It's a good idea to use GPS to accurately measure the impact. Odometers only measure the number...

    Yet another Engine Swap

    It seems that there are not many cases of swapping to 4.7. Is this a successful example of 4.7? https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/v8-liberty.36947/ I'd like to see it, but many posts here say it's difficult. The car is the same model year as mine. Let's do our best to maintain it.

    2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots

    Thank you. The important thing is that the lower arm is removed in fig10. This may be necessary if the driver's side end seal or shaft seal is broken. However, I am looking into the possibility of replacing the end seal on the passenger side without taking the rack assembly out of the car. The...

    2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots

    thank you. Close but slightly different? The nut has threads on the outside, It is installed about 15mm deep into the housing, so It seems that I can somehow turn it by processing a bicycle wrench. Can I remove the inner tie rod with pipe pliers? It looked like there was no flat surface to...

    2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots

    The end seal on the passenger side is fixed with a back plate (nut) that is turned using a special two-jaw tool. The inner diameter of the housing cannot be measured without removing the back plate, so it seems possible to replace it by purchasing several types of oil seals. I also need a tool...

    Upper control arm alternatives

    Diverting KK's upper arm to KJ. There was a post about someone doing this in the past, I haven't seen anyone post that it's completed. I thought it was a pretty interesting modification, I wonder what happened.

    Grease fittings for lower ball joint

    I also bought it from a Japanese importer. It was the one in the photo on the right. Even though only 4WD is sold in Japan. Moreover, the internal ball is not returning properly and is spewing out grease. With the lower arm lifted and the load removed, I flipped up the boot and pushed in the...

    Upper control arm alternatives

    Thank you for your quick reply. I missed the most obvious thing. Since it is multiple choice, it seems that the two are not the same.
