Haha, I've heard RRO has a bad rep on this board. It's a shame - they seem to be the only local Jeep-focused shop that doesn't roll their eyes at Libertys, but... They can't even be trusted if I source my own parts then? Ick

Multi-part question time! Well I've had my KJ for a year now - time to redo the saggy stock suspension. I want to replace springs with OME's and shocks/struts with... something. I guess people like Bilstein shocks to go with OME springs? Any other suggestions? I think I'll go with medium duty...

^^ I can attest to this - in my search for a Libby I was initially looking for a Renegade, but they were really hard to find in this area. Finally found one, ran to the dealer and took a look under - no skids, no towing, just silly looking fake rivets in the fender flares. Finally found a much...

I've seen HOAT in a few different colors - the MOPAR stuff you got is definitely right though.

I replaced the oil filter from the underside - had to go get a filter wrench to pull it out because it was in there really tight but other than that it really was pretty easy to get to. From the top I really couldn't reach it, but it could be just because mine has the larger HD shroud.

Ah, it's been so stinking dry here since I got the KJ I don't have any good 'dirty' pics. I've got some good ones of my XJ but I expect those don't qualify :)

Do you perhaps have the OTIS instead of the EVIC? OTIS has a segmented display instead of a pixellated one and doesn't have the extra options. The good news is there is generally an alternate way to set those options - I'm not sure on the specifics there though.

Took it up into the mountains. Good times. I think I've figured out how to drive the 42RLE without getting any idiot lights - none came up today despite some steep(ish) slippery driving! Just made sure to always lock out any silly gearshifting - usually sticking with "2" going up and "1"...

... Guessing shipping the rails to 84606 is going to be pretty ugly?

KJ is 1.5 DIN I believe. The size it's really hard to find anything in :) KK is 2 DIN.

Well, that seems to be two votes of confidence for the Spectra - sounds like I'll probably be going that route when I have a bit more money (but keep the OEM around just in case it needs to go back in!) How much work goes in to replacing the radiator on a KJ with the HD shroud? Might need...

Can't buy it individually, and it would just break again - on the other hand, you can replace it with these so it won't break again: LINK

So far I've found a lot of "OE Style replacements" :rofl: and what appears to be an 06 OEM that does not include the cooler. Do you have a part number for the 02-07 you ordered, by any chance? EDIT: OK, found the part on moparonlineparts - of course they won't give me the part# from the...

So the '02 OEM with the in-rad cooler installs in the 05 without any trouble?

Fine, fine, I give up... I'll look into getting a radiator with in-rad trans cooling. Anyone have a good one, aftermarket or OEM, that you recommend I look into? One you have personal experience with would be great. Thanks...

Yes, that appears to be quite low - see the cold fill arrow. I don't have personal experience with how low it can get before you start having overheat issues, but I think I would start with the low coolant here.

Mine doesn't, but I know it is a factory option - if you have a VIN I guess you could potentially get a build sheet and find out from here: http://www.compnine.com/vid.php

If it has the text "MP3" to the left of the CD slot like the one pictured does, it supports mp3 cds. If no MP3 text, probably not.

OK, so the opinion here is that even with increased airflow to the existing cooler the transmission will still overheat? It certainly does bug me how 'high' 1st gear is on the 42RLE. Barely keeps me at 30mph down steep pavement. Oh well...

So, looking into things more... I think surface area shouldn't be an issue - the factory transmission cooler is the long thing on the front and bottom of the radiator, right? (The PS cooler is the smaller standalone cooler off to the right, then.) That thing already takes up a good bit of...
