03 Jeep kj. The ball for mounting the rear window strut is gone. Anyone know if there’s a way to fix it? I tried pb blast and tried to turn it out. But it does nothing but turn. And if I got it out I don’t know where to get a replacement? Advise?

that’s what my daughter did. She’s been driving around for months on only short trips and when she pulled in the other day I heard how bad it was. I immediately put her Jeep out of commission until we can work on it. It’s a death trap. She has leaks from multiple locations. Her differential is...

Well probably right there. Never watched a video and went out and had as easy a job as the video shows. Lol. However, the videos encourage me and give me a direction. I also read comments before I trust a video is steering me right. For me, being a small single woman with no guidance, watching a...

I had that thought as well, but have decided that the vin code must be wrong. There is a 4x4 badge and these parts don’t appear to be aftermarket. Perhsps the 4x4 was done in production as an option?

Watch and advise. That’s what my daughter wants. I’m just happy she is interested. Don’t knock ALL YouTube vids. I wasn’t raised into mechanic work. I am female and was 35 before I ever touched a wrench. YouTube videos convinced me I could do it. I often watch videos on new procedures just to...

I love reading stories like this! Theres nothing more satisfying than fixing an issue yourself and knowing you didn't have to pay someone hundreds or thousands to do so! True. And knowing it was done right also helps. I let our tire guy do a simple brake pad change while I was getting tires...

Ok. I am new here and so I want to give a little background. I am not the usual diy mechanic. I am a 47yo female. I am 4’9” tall and I weigh 130 lbs. If you saw me on the street you would never suspect that I would have ever even changed a tire. However, ten years ago, on a whim, I bought my...

differential and transfer case are there. Just no drive shaft. Like I said, I figure there was a problem and the previous owner removed it. It was sold to my daughter without it. The badge? Lol. Didn’t I say I was a noob with jeep?

I had to change the alternator a few months ago. Had it done in minutes. I was surprised at how easy it was.

Duh. Yes. It does. I was thrown off by the vin decoder saying it is 4x2 drive when obviously it’s a 4x4. Or it will be when we get the front drive shaft replaced and confirm everything is operational.

I’m a total noob. This is my daughters 03 Jeep Liberty KJ 4x2. But I’m confused (as was she) by the fact that I just saw in the vin decoder that her Jeep is a 4x2 but there is what appears to be a 4wd selector. So is this something a previous owner did after market? Or is it a fluke? My daughter...
