I'd say inspect your lower ball joints, and check your rear lower control arms for excessive rust - these were both recalls. Silly me didn't know about the rear LCA recall until I did some Google-fu after I found one of mine was rusted through. Search the forum once you start doing some...

Yeah, I was wondering about that, but I'm being cheap with it. I'll check the pressures again today, and then rent a proper manifold pressure gauge next week to verify pressures. I kind of figured I was low too.

I just put a new compressor on my 2004 KJ. Bought an AC Pro recharge kit and followed the instructions exactly. I get PLENTY of icy cold air coming through the vents. I did that this afternoon when it was hot. Drove it home later that night, and while the air always stayed nice and cold, I could...

I actually bought a lifetime alignment last year when I picked up new tires for it. It was like $80, but not at Sears, and I can bring it back anytime for a free alignment. After I get the rear suspension done (which should be A LOT easier), it's going right in there. They told me last time they...

I thought I would share my 2 cents on replacing the front suspension on my 2004 KJ, for those who have never done it before and look to tackle the project. I'm a noob when it comes to suspension work, but I got A LOT figured out while doing this project, and hopefully I can help somebody out...

The damn thing is a beast! Every time you need her to perform, she'll do it! Glad everybody was OK!

I had to replace my door lock actuator / latch on the drivers door. That was a severe PITA. I've got the repair manual, and I thought I'd be slick and skip a couple of steps. Turns out - you don't get to do that with this job. You end up having to remove the window seal from the door to get the...

Just to update, I recently had the A/C clutch go out on my 3.7L '04 Liberty. Bought an 82.5" 6-rib belt from NAPA for about $38. The guy at NAPA told me they don't sell Dayco belts anymore because they're "the cheap ones" and the quality just isn't there. For those who need to know, with an...
