    A few questions for you guys, can somone help me out a littl

    The hitch is most likely at least a 5,000 lb rated hitch if it has a two in reciever. The OEM is a 2" reciever and rated 5,000lbs in US for 3.7L V6 & 2.8L CRD. As far as the use of a small light weight trailer and carrying no more then you will be carrying, if your Jeep is a V6 or CRD it will...

    oil filter on 05 CRD

    It's $40 in the US and is different then the skid for a gasser. That tranny skid will make a mess though when it comes oil change time, you may want to drop it (very easy one man job) before you do oil & filter change in the future.

    Question for CRD Owners

    Peak power is from 1800 rpm to about 4200 rpm. It produces more torque at idle then the 4.7 does at half throttle.

    Question for CRD Owners

    Put a Flowmaster 40 on the CRD and let the MPG's go up and the EGT's go down, with little change in exhaust sound. :-$ Or you can straight pipe the CRD and enjoy the true sound of a diesel. \:D/

    Skid Plate Part Numbers

    I have a question for you guys in Europe, what's the part number for head lights on the Liberty (KJ) Sport?
