Sounds like a potential wheel bearing and/or transmission shutter. For a transmission shutter you can try this. It works pretty fantastic. Wheel bearings take a little more time to diagnose but no more then jacking up the front end rotating the wheels and listen for anything as well check for...

It can be a fuel pump and/or it could be a cam position sensor and/or crank position sensor that are both on the right side of the engine. Relatively cheap and easy to change both at the same time. One of those can be your culprit if they have never been changed. They will cause some of the...

Here is what I used. Worked perfect. I added more lift to this kit. I’m at 4.5 inches of lift now but this kit by itself will actually give you 2.5inches of lift not 1.5. I used the heavy duty CRD coils because of the extra weight from a bumper and winch...

Nice little Libby you got there. My 2 cents is if your daily driving it 100 miles I’d just stick with the 29’s. Your transmission and gas mileage will thank you. I run just over 31 inch tires but my Libby is just a toy for camping and off-road. I drove it for about a week just to see what...

Yup I agree with KJowner. Rule out a head gasket before spending time and effort on anything. The symptom you described you are having after all the work you have done is an indication of a potentially bad head gasket. I hope it’s not but the possibility is there.

Yes you can. If you search on here for TwoBobsKJ there is a write up I believe. A few things are involved. If you have a salvage yard near you that has some Jeep KJs it can make things cheaper to accomplish.

If you have the factory towing package it comes with an electric fan as well as a clutch driven fan. Keeps the engine nice and cool. If not you get an electric fan to keep everything cool. I didn’t see in your write up about checking your electric fan. I could have missed it but if not it may...

Does your KJ have the factory HD cooling? Meaning electrical fan as well a clutch driven fan? Could be the electric fan or could be the mechanical fan clutch as well.

Thats some awesome ingenuity and fabrication.

Ironman 4x4 has rear coils that will net you 2.25 inches of lift for less money. Then add a few isolators same as what duderz7 had mentioned.

Just 2…one mounted out on each end of the axle. Takes about 15 minutes to change those out.

Had a similar issue with my daughters 2006. I just hit the ESP button to disable the system so she could still drive it until I could trouble shoot the system. It ended up being multiple abs sensors. In the end I just decided to replace all 4 of them since they were the originals and Rockauto...

Was going to ask if you have the Jeeps transmission in neutral when engaging/disengaging 4wd?

Welcome to the few, the eccentric…the Libby owners.

Something to keep in mind as well since, I just rebuilt my front driveshaft, Rockauto also sells complete front drive shafts and rebuild kits as well. You can check your part number when you click on a drive shaft and see if your number crosses with that part. Just food for thought for later...
