Like 2003KJ, I, too, have done 300-mile each-way trips easily, with 1/8 to 1/4 of a tank leftover. 2006 Renegade 3.7L engine, 20.5 gallon tank.

In a gas engine? You've got to be kidding me! Engine damage aside, you'd probably be pulled over by the police for being a road hazard. I'm referring to all of the smoke that'll be pouring out of your tailpipe that will obscure the vision of everyone behind you.

The owner's manual for my '06 says the following (I'm summarizing): 1) Designed for and runs fine on 87 octane. 2) Don't bother with premium, you probably won't see any difference. 3) 89 octane might help with milage when towing a heavy load or in hot weather or a few other...

Well, I've had my Liberty for a full month now, and I'm quite happy with it. I special ordered a 2006 Renegade w/manual transmission. It took 3 months, but it finally arrived in mid-February. Several months ago, before I ordered it, I'd posted a thread seeking comments from this board...

Getting the "Trail Rated" badges for your Liberty Y'know, I could've sworn that I read somewhere that Jeep will send you a "Trail Rated" badge for your Liberty for free, just call the Cust. Svc. number. But I couldn't tell you where I saw that, or if it's true. #-o

I admit it drove nicely in the test drive I did. I am a little worried about the lack of horsepower at the top end, although clicking off the overdrive should help that somewhat. Shifting was smooth and it appeared to be well-programmed to shift at appropriate points, so I give them credit...

Re: Considering KJ purchase, seeking feedback on certain thi I see we have a difference of opinion here between you and LibertyCRD. I'm just glad we have the option of going either way! You don't have to convince me! \:D/ Actually, in some circumstances this same phenomenon happens in 2WD...

Some of you may be familiar with Tom & Ray Magliozzi. They're a couple of nuts who host a radio show on NPR called CarTalk, and have a website at http://www.cartalk.com/ They also write a Q&A column in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Someone wrote in to ask what type of vehicle would be...

Hi guys, I'm considering purchasing a KJ, and wanted to get some feedback from current owners. If I do buy one, I have a couple of options. One is to get an '05 CRD 4x4 that the dealer currently has in stock (Sport model I think, with some extra options already installed). Never owned a...
