Not really mechanical. The stock (from 2002) spare tire cover gave up the ghost. I liked it because it has nice lining on it. So, I got a fiberglass capped tire cover from Boomerang and then put the Liberty logo on it. It looks nice and wasn't too costly.

Thanks Tom, yeah. RRO really messed up my ride with mismatched coils. Spacer on top of the coil and spacer in the clevis - good grief. I wish I would have known before I started, but at ride height it's good. I guess as long as I don't go rock crawling it'll be okay. I have areas around...

So, I replaced the fuel filter. The other youtube videos on the fuel filter - I can't see what they're looking at - so here's another view if you're interested. A quick look at the clevis lift and I don't understand why my driver's side CV boot is so close as there are other people with more...

Bought a fuel filter - that looks amazingly fun to do as you must remove the sound deadening in order to get the access panel off (I guess I should be happy that it has an access panel rather than having to drop the tank). I found that the passenger seat belt buckle clasp is sticking and isn't...

Damaged rear wheel stud repair. Used the ball joint separator that looks like two fingers hinged in the middle and the stud came super easy. So, when I bought the Jeep, the lug nut covers had all come off and rust (San Francisco CA area) had gotten to one of the lugs bad, or it was damaged...

I got my 3/8 spacers. I spent yesterday after work installing them. 1. I did get the lift that I wanted. 20 inch + almost 3/4, not quite in the nose, 21 full inch lift in the rear. So, I have a pretty stock length OME spring :( I have a 1/2 inch spacer on top of the strut (courtesy of...

Thank you Tom for your quick response and the info (that I wouldn't have known otherwise). I ordered a clevis spacer from JB-offroad - the medium spacer, which should get me close to level. I am not really interested in having to remove the spring again - or buy new spring. I should also say...

According to the ARB off road site, looks like all the springs for the front should give 1.5 inches of lift. So, I don't know.

What OME springs did you use ? I'm sorry, I didn't catch the number, but they all came in OME boxes. What shocks ? OME yellow shocks What do you measure now , from middle of the wheel ( hub ) to bottom of the flare on left side front? Yes, from wheel...

So what have I learned so far? 1. OME lift only gave me one (1) inch of lift over stock Hmmmm. Having said that, I probably got more like 2.25 inch lift because the front springs and shocks were OEM from 2002 and had sagged really bad. Rear lift was also one inch? Front from Rocky Road also...

Hmmm, no audio. Sorry

My father had one knee done, but here in CA they cancelled all surgeries, so he's not even on a waiting list at this point. They told him he's just gonna have to wait until things "get back to something like normal." So, I feel for you.

So, the Jeep is together and running. Lucky I have the mechanical fan as it looks like the electric fan might not be working. I replaced it with a used on (I'm an idiot, if I'd realized I could get just the motor, I'd a done that instead - almost the same price with shipping). I'm gonna try...

Well, she's back on her wheel. Right this second I am involved in the water pump, Rad hoses and a thermostat.

Actually, I do have a question. I bought a new power steering pump. Came with a rubber O-ring for the high pressure line (I'm sure that'll be fun to reattach), but there's a white plastic washer in the kit too, but no instructions telling me what is is or where it goes. The old pump did not...
