Hey All, Now that I have traded in my KJ (sad day, I know...), I now have an extra set of Liberty wheels and tires that I need to get rid of. Here are the details: Quantity of 4 17in Jeep Liberty Limited rims, currently mounted with 4 Bridgestone Blizzak snow and ice tires. These wheels...

Hey All, Approaching 60K on my 2006 KJ and looking for opinions on what to do for the transmission. At 30K, I took it to the dealer and they did the flush with the machine that removes all 12qts of the fluid and replaces it. I asked at the time if they should drop the pan and change the...

Hey Folks- Was driving to work yesterday in my 06 KJ (3.7L Gasser) and right around the corner from the office, I noticed my CEL lit up. Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, no power hiccups or rough running so I was a bit surprised. After fiddling with the key-toggle/odometer code...

Hey All- I live in a house where the garage is at a 90 degree angle from the driveway with a 3-4 foot grade when backing into the garage. My suspension tends to flex when going up/down the driveway and in/out of the garage, but have never noticed any abnormal noises coming from the...

Hi All- I have been wondering about the merits and drawbacks of synthetic gear oil in the front and rear differentials. I changed both of them myself to Mobil1 75-140 synthetic last summer, but have since read that synthetic gear oil may not be as heavy and may not protect the gears as well...

Hey y'all- So I'm not sure if this one is in my head or not, but it would seem as if my Jeep is decelerating more quickly than usual when coasting. In an attempt to drive more conservatively and use less fuel/braking, I have been letting it coast a lot when decelerating from highway speed...

Hey All- Just wondering if you guys ever get a wheel alignment done on your KJs. Never had one done on this vehicle before. I noticed it pulls ever so slightly to the left on the highway but there's no abnormal wear on the tires and I rotate them often enough anyway.

Hey All- Just wondering when everyone changed their Tranny & T-case fluid for the first time? My KJ is a 2006 and just four years old last month with about 33K miles on it. No off-roading or hard driving really, just a 50/50 split of highway and local driving. I recall the maintenance...

Greetings Sports Fans- Didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted. My blower motor fan switch is acting funky. In all blower modes, the motor remains off when the fan switch is on 1, 2, or 3. The motor only activates when the switch is in the 4 position and runs at its highest...

Hey guys, just curious what you guys are thinking. I changed over from the stock NGK plugs to the Bosch Double-Tip platinums today and I'm wondering what the interval should be until the next plug change - if ever. Only had 22K on the truck anyway so it's not like it really needed it and the...

Hey Guys- So I was driving the KJ this afternoon doing some errands locally and for no reason that I can detect, my CEL came on. The engine didn't stumble, I couldn't feel any misfiring, and she is idling and performing perfectly normal. I only noticed it when I went to take my foot off the...

Hey All- So here is my dilemma: My 06 KJ has just passed 18K miles and has no issues at this point. I am moving to Atlanta in early May which will be about a 900-1K mile drive from New York. Since I am moving there to go to school, I want the KJ to be as worry free maintenance-wise as...

Hey All- So I brought by KJ in for its annual NY State inspection on Saturday and I got a call from my mechanic that she needed brakes and rotors all around. I was quite surprised by this since I've only got about 16K on the jeep. Though I've not exactly been easy on the brakes in stop & go...

Just curious if anyone else is a KJ owner on Long Island. Anyone around here do any wrenching on their jeeps?

Hi Everyone- To preface this, I just cleaned all of the wheels about a month and a half or so ago and the front wheels look almost as clean as they did back then. On a recent road trip for work, I drove the Libby about 400 miles each week for two weeks. I noticed that towards the end of the...

Hi All- Went to a Chrysler dealer's used car lot today to price an '05 KJ for my brother with 38K miles. All in all, the truck looks to be in good shape, minus a few scratches. It will definitely need tires within the next 5K miles or so, but other than that, looks pretty nice and has some...

I thought I would post this story in case there are any fellow Long Island KJ owners that deal with the really poor quality dealerships on LI. I posted on here several months ago that after connecting my Mopar iPod kit to the back of my RBQ radio that the CD changer no longer worked. Since...

Hi All- So it's been a long time since I had a KJ question (probably because mine has been so reliable). This morning while on the highway (speeds variably from 55 to 85) I got the TPMS indicator light flashing which accompanied an EVIC message saying "CHECK TPMS SYS". I cleared the message...

Hey All- I've got a few "Does your Libby" questions. I just passed 11K and I wanted to double check that some of the things I am noticing while driving the Libby aren't actual problems. So here goes, does your libby... 1) make a loud bumping noise when the rear axle goes over a large...
