    Replacing front diff?

    I’m finally making some forward progress on this! I picked up an entire 3.73 front diff assembly for my ‘03 for $100 from a local used parts place. I just went in to look, and they had the thing on the shelf ready to go — SOLD! I had a shop tell me that my front pinion bearing was completely...

    Cranks, No start, SKIM Light solid

    Haven’t had a penny to spend on her, so she’s been sitting. Now, I need to move it to get hooked up to the city sewer, and she won’t start. Engine cranks but no start, SKIM security key light stays on solid. The gas gauge doesn’t move — I’m told that means the ECM is grounding out through a...

    Front Diff? Rebuild, remove?

    I’ve got an 03 Rocky Mountain edition that’s making front diff noise. While driving, it sounds like some plastic piece is loose, just a light clacking, but when it was in for an oil change, they put it up on the lift and said the pinion bearing was shot, to the point where it’s vibrating and...

    Is there a 17" Moab wheel that will fit '03 Liberty?

    I've got a chance to buy a set of Jeep wheels from a lady nearby -- They look like the 16" MOAB wheels, but they've got 265/70/17's on them. (Too big, but the rubber will fit on my Ram.) She doesn't know what year/style Wrangler they came from, but they're only $100. It's worth it for the...

    Re-Using Other Cars' Sentry Keys?

    I was at a new junkyard today with a friend, and had a look through their bin of key fobs -- I found three that looked like (and matched the FCC ID of) the one that came with my Jeep for $10. One of them is bound to work! They also let me have the 5 used sentry keys that were attached to them...

    Rear Glass Lift Support Ball Stud -- Size & thread?

    Howdy, I just replaced my lift supports for the tailgate glass, and the left side ball stud that attaches to the glass was so badly rusted that it broke. :favorites68: It's a weird little setup, all encased in rubber, but no clear way to get at it or swap it out. The service manual shows a...

    Renegade/Factory Roof Lightbar Questions

    I stumbled across one of the stock lightbars in a junkyard the other day, and snapped it up immediately. It's a little beat up, so I'm thinking of sanding and painting it to cover up some of the imperfections. Has anyone ever seen one painted before? I know Krylon Fusion is supposed to the...

    Headed to the U-Pull yard, anything I shouldn't leave without?

    I'm headed to the junkyard today to grab a few bits and pieces for my '03 Rocky Mountain Edition. My inner tailgate panel is scratched, I'm missing the passenger front kickplate off the rocker panel, and there's a trim piece gone from the cup holder. I think I might grab some blue exterior...

    Passing Inspection - Questions: Brakes, Door Pins, and ?

    I just bought this 2003 Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition (Freedom Edition): Decent body, great mechanical, but I have a few questions that I'm having trouble finding answers to: Front disc brake backing plates -- The guy doing the inspection says these are missing, but I can't find a...

    2003 Jeep Liberty, From Ottawa, Canada

    Howdy! I had a '97 Grand Cherokee for 10 years, spent a few years with a wee tiny Suzuki Sidekick, and I've recently fallen in love with the Liberty. I just picked up an '03 Rocky Mountain edition. First, here she is: It's holding together pretty well, considering how much road salt...
