Silver '06 Renegades are they greatest looking Jeeps of all time! Of all time!!!! :D

For 90% on road they are good tires. I've had the P rated ones for a few years now. I've had 3 flats, one being a sidewall puncture, but they have been pretty abused. I went from 10 ply E rated tires to these, so my opinion on road noise may be skewed, but I think they are pretty quiet for an AT.

I got a reman rack from Napa. Has lasted longer than the stock one. It's a labor intensive job, but not all that hard. The biggest issue I had was getting the steering rod / linkage / whateverthehellistcalled back in place.

X2 Lights look cool up there but on your bumper is way more practical.

I still have yet to fix mine. I was told 05-06 are the same, ie part numbers didn't change for both years, but there are several variations for both years (if that makes sense). 07's are different somehow. My renegade only shares a trans with the Rocky Mountain edition KJ and there are two...

Buy Moog. RockAuto had them the cheapest last time I looked.

I had that and a p700 code a year ago. Kept driving it and eventually the torque converter went kaput. Kept driving it then started having hard shift problems. Kept driving it then the trans would overheat. Now am looking for a replacement trans and TC. I would suggest not driving it as it...

Word! That's pretty much the plan. Except I have garage to protect me from the elements. :D

Well, I have replaced just about everything but the motor, trans, and transfer case at this point, so I should be alright. :D I do have the FSM and tools are covered. Hopefully rust shouldn't be to big of an issue; Jeep has lived its whole life in AZ. My name still shows up as Zanazabar? I...

Cost. Called a few places and just to diagnose what would need to be done costs almost as much as a junkyard trans. I have not looked into rebuilding it myself; from what I understand it is complex and requires special tools. Plan on going with the path of least resistance. Fingers crossed...

So my poor ol' Jeep has been sitting in my garage for the last couple months, unregistered, and in need of a new torque convertor and transmission. I recently acquired a two-wheeled replacement to take over DD duties so that has relegated the KJ to a off-road / hunting / fun / toy vehicle. So...

Wasn't that Chris' (I think) KJ? How many KJ's do you have Tom? I remember the Sundance debacle. It was a good looking bumper without the stinger.

Yeah, what happened to Luke? He was a good dude with quite a bit of helpful knowledge. Speaking of people who have dropped off the map, whatever happened to Keswick Dave aka other Dave? He was a mod too right?

Buy stock skids Put them on yourself (it's easy) Save yourself a ton of money Wheel away Profit!

Yeah they tend to be pretty stout. This guy flopped his and drove it away after righting the ship.
