    JBA adjust a strut Assistance please.

    Mine has settled some since the 2.5 inch Silver kit was installed about 20 months ago. I'm sitting at about 19-3/4 in the front and rear. I've been meaning to crank a few threads on each corner since May, but it's been too hot in my garage to want to mess with it since summer kicked in. I've...

    How did you end up with your KJ?

    A woman I knew had a 2005 diesel KJ, so when I was getting to the end of needing my '97 diesel Ram Supercab 4x4 (about 300K miles), I started looking for a reasonable replacement. Every truck I've had was 4x4, most were Dodge Power Wagon/Ram trucks, and the smallest I had before the ''97 was an...

    Clunking and popping in front suspension

    Agreed, probably just worn out. Only point I considered was that the popping didn't start until after I installed the Silver kit at about 125K. But since I was replacing them, I went with JBA's recommendation.

    Clunking and popping in front suspension

    Old thread, I know, sorry. I threw a JBA 2.5 inch Silver kit in, and about 4 months later the front end started making a popping sound as I would slowly transition from left, thru center, to right, or vice-versa. It'd also do it as I went over a speed bump with one wheel ahead of the other...

    Rear Window Striker

    How about going to an auto-glass shop? The last two times I had rear view mirrors come off (two diff vehicles) the local auto-glass place did it for free, told me to give the tech something, and remember them if I needed something bigger. Slipped the guy a $10, he seemed happy. I'm sure...

    JBA extended swaybar end links

    I installed the JBA 2.5 inch 'Silver' kit all around on my '06 CRD last fall, and acquired the clunk a few weeks later. I'm not sure how long afterwards, but it took me a little while to notice it and it sounded like it was getting worse. Going through center from a left to right or vice versa...

    Kj hood swap[emoji848]

    I like the flat hood better, but I wanted a CRD. I bought one a few years ago for the CRD, and I'm wanting 'The Look'.:emotions33:

    My key fob keeps coming apart.

    Is this a regular problem, or almost never happens to anyone? 'New' key fob I hardly ever used, original was getting worn out. I insert the key into ignition, twist, and the two halves pop apart half the time, dropping the guts on the floor. It's not like I'm a gorilla when I start it...

    What's kicking around in your Jeep?

    The stuff I carry in the truck: GPS Phone Sunglasses Water, drinking $50 9mm Hand cleaner Paper towels Between the phone, the $50, and the 9mm - problems will sort themselves out one way or another. :)

    What are these rims from

    Too bad. I have a 2006 sales brochure that says the 16" version came on Renegades.

    New TPMS sensors won't relearn

    So I bought an EVIC out of an 04 with the individual tire pressure readings, that all the charts showed was compatible with with my 06. My stock CTD Liberty has got the driving light switch on the stalk, the remote radio controls on the wheel, etc, as standard equipment, so it's supposed to be...

    New TPMS sensors won't relearn

    I still don't have it figured out. I'm really trying not to have to go to the dealer, as I believe I can screw it up cheaper than they can....

    New TPMS sensors won't relearn

    I wish. The alternator was a PITA to swap 'cuz the belt tensioner pulley was designed by somebody who clearly never intended to have to fix one of these things. Electrical probs are gone (for now), so I'm semi-happy, but tire pressure light is still lit up. I'm trying to find info on...

    New TPMS sensors won't relearn

    I'm thinking you're right, at this point. I don't know whether to start by throwing parts at it - just swap out the receiver thats supposed to be in the rear/drivers wheel well, because I don't *know* that this is the one that would actually pick up the spare tire signal, or am I going to find...

    New TPMS sensors won't relearn

    I was worried about something like that, but than I thought: All the sensor packages had the same info printed on them. All the tires have been rotated to the spare position and roadtested to see if the EVIC message would reset. And the clincher for me: If any of the 5 stems were mislabeled or...
