Haha, I've heard RRO has a bad rep on this board. It's a shame - they seem to be the only local Jeep-focused shop that doesn't roll their eyes at Libertys, but... They can't even be trusted if I source my own parts then? Ick

Multi-part question time! Well I've had my KJ for a year now - time to redo the saggy stock suspension. I want to replace springs with OME's and shocks/struts with... something. I guess people like Bilstein shocks to go with OME springs? Any other suggestions? I think I'll go with medium duty...

^^ I can attest to this - in my search for a Libby I was initially looking for a Renegade, but they were really hard to find in this area. Finally found one, ran to the dealer and took a look under - no skids, no towing, just silly looking fake rivets in the fender flares. Finally found a much...

I've seen HOAT in a few different colors - the MOPAR stuff you got is definitely right though.

I replaced the oil filter from the underside - had to go get a filter wrench to pull it out because it was in there really tight but other than that it really was pretty easy to get to. From the top I really couldn't reach it, but it could be just because mine has the larger HD shroud.

Ah, it's been so stinking dry here since I got the KJ I don't have any good 'dirty' pics. I've got some good ones of my XJ but I expect those don't qualify :)

Do you perhaps have the OTIS instead of the EVIC? OTIS has a segmented display instead of a pixellated one and doesn't have the extra options. The good news is there is generally an alternate way to set those options - I'm not sure on the specifics there though.

Took it up into the mountains. Good times. I think I've figured out how to drive the 42RLE without getting any idiot lights - none came up today despite some steep(ish) slippery driving! Just made sure to always lock out any silly gearshifting - usually sticking with "2" going up and "1"...

... Guessing shipping the rails to 84606 is going to be pretty ugly?

KJ is 1.5 DIN I believe. The size it's really hard to find anything in :) KK is 2 DIN.

Well, that seems to be two votes of confidence for the Spectra - sounds like I'll probably be going that route when I have a bit more money (but keep the OEM around just in case it needs to go back in!) How much work goes in to replacing the radiator on a KJ with the HD shroud? Might need...

Can't buy it individually, and it would just break again - on the other hand, you can replace it with these so it won't break again: LINK

So far I've found a lot of "OE Style replacements" :rofl: and what appears to be an 06 OEM that does not include the cooler. Do you have a part number for the 02-07 you ordered, by any chance? EDIT: OK, found the part on moparonlineparts - of course they won't give me the part# from the...

So the '02 OEM with the in-rad cooler installs in the 05 without any trouble?

Fine, fine, I give up... I'll look into getting a radiator with in-rad trans cooling. Anyone have a good one, aftermarket or OEM, that you recommend I look into? One you have personal experience with would be great. Thanks...
