Recall My 2006 just started overflowing after 6 years and 85K miles of troublefree fill ups. I have not changed my fillup habits. Insert filling tube, fill on automatic, remove filling tube. I have never tried to squeeze in more fuel after the click of the auto handle shutoff. Never...

Huh? So go buy something else, just after your warm milk and noontime nap. :bs:

SRA's work well for my 06 Liberty in the snow, ice, rain or dry. Everything is factory stock. PICNIC = Problem in chair, not in configuration.

:flowers2: Pretty good story about the namesake - the one that served with the greatest generation - and helped to seriously kick the dictators from the world scene. Click on the link below. Thanks Classic Jeep trades comfort, economy for off-road thrill | CNHI News Service

Consumer Distorts Imho, that drivel mag isn't fit to catch the dropings in the preverbial birdcage. What is their agenda? Is it to rate the freedom loving American made autos low? After 6 years and 90 K miles of ownership, I would still buy another new Liberty. Below are my reasons...

Parking Brake design well thought out I can only speak for my own 06 Liberty. The parking break has always performed well, even when one of the shoe sets were totally wasted and only the rear passenger side shoes were hugging the hub. Imho, It is a clever design using the inside of the...

Completed. No squeeks, no issues, living large.

That reflection is the fault of a rather confused sony cybershot thats seen its better days.

20 mpg (combined) for this liberty 3.7, towing edition KJ, hasn't changed much at all since new. There is much that affects mileage results...start hunting for the obvious culprits first. If nothing is found then search for the hideous hidden ones.

This is a KJ discussion, is it not? Wranglers are obviously way different. How I adjusted the parking brake on my KJ was to replace the rear parking brake shoes, pads and rotors and then pull out the plug to acccess the starwheel adjuster. Its quite easy actually. The starwheels were rusted and...

I did replace the tires with the originals. (Goodyear Wrangler SR-A) They were replaced after 82,000 miles on 9Dec10. Their life was about 4 1/2 years. The replacement cost was just shy of $800 balanced and installed. Note to the naysayers...watch and learn.

Spanner Wrench Substitute I felt that it was time to chime in with "how it can be done" that might help another brother from a different mother KJ Owner. I just finished replacing the waterpump and thermostat on my 2006 Liberty V-6 3.7 Liter with the heavy duty fan cooling system. (94,000...

Brake noise I just completed a brake pad/emergency brake shoe and rotor replacements on my 2006 Liberty (front and rear). The picture is the rotor/drum and emergency brake shoes that had the both e-brake linings come apart inside of the rotor/drum. The drivers side failed while the passenger...

Follow the advice given in your factory manual. :)

Is it abnormal to be getting such great tire life? I now have 75,000 miles on a 2006 Liberty, and can't find anyone that inspects tires and says that they need replacement. (and these are the guys that sell tires) Once in in an article of Click and Clack it was advised that after 5 years the...
