In search of mechanic in NJ/NY area to re-gear 2007 Jeep Liberty
There's JP Auto out in Chester - https://www.facebook.com/people/JP-Auto-Service/100063679654420/ The owner is a member of the North Jersey Jeep Club and has a nice shop. I believe there's another member of the NJJC that has a shop up off Rt 23 but I can't remember the name off hand. Also...- The Fixer

What gears do you need installed? There's two shops that are within an hour drive that could probably do it.- The Fixer

What did you do to your Jeep today? -Wrangler Edition-
Glad you're OK, and the JL seems OK too! Teslas and their tech are downright dangerous at times. Earlier this year my son was in his '91 Mustang on the highway heading to work. He was following behind a Tesla. A deer hopped across the median, and I guess with their accident avoidance technology... -

A Driver's side Thunking Mystery
Is it thunking over bumps, or just at a steady cruise? Is the noise something you feel in the steering wheel too, or just hear it? Possibilities include the clevis bushings (they knock on my daughter's KJ), or steering rack bushings (can feel those in the steering wheel as a clunk).- The Fixer

Bad muffler creating vibrations/pulsing?
The original muffler on our '03 rusted through at the seam back in 2017, it had a similar sound to your video. The hole was on top, so we could hear it, but not really see it. After that, we had a Dynomax catback on it until 2022, which my son squashed wheeling some Blue trails at AOAA. He...- The Fixer

Here's An Odd One...Fuel Leak at Schrader Valve?
Thanks for the responses! The KJ only has 106K on it, but it it's going to be 22 years old in September. I have a valve core tool, so my son checked today and found the Schrader had worked itself loose. He was able to tighten it up and now it's dry and not squirting fuel when pressurized. I...- The Fixer

Here's An Odd One...Fuel Leak at Schrader Valve?
Did some searching, but this certainly doesn't seem to be a common thing. My daughter came home from work tonight, and says "Dad, the Jeep smelled like gas on the way home." So I put on some shoes and walk out...sure enough, I smell fuel too. Start looking around, and everything is dry on the...- The Fixer

Phone Mount Recommendation?
Hey all, Looking for some recommendations on a phone mount - maybe something you've adapted, or pirated from another vehicle that works well? Looking to mount vertically in a good line of sight so that it's hands-free and can also be used as GPS with Apple Maps. Thanks in advance!- The Fixer

A Little Fuzzy On Upgrading Speakers...
Thanks for all the help and suggestions! I ordered up the Scosche adapters and some Pioneer 6.5" speakers from Amazon, and got around to installing them today. My idea worked, and I was able to bypass the amp. I tested first before committing to the mission. And here's a few samples of what...- The Fixer

A Little Fuzzy On Upgrading Speakers...
Wow, that is a lot of work but I bet it sounds fantastic! Where did you install the BAM - on the outer door skin, or between the inner door frame and speakers? That might be something to add since the doors will be apart anyway. I also looked into the speaker repair kit as it's something I...- The Fixer

Johnny O's 2020 Rubicon Build - KHAAAAAN! the ScienceMobile II
That's awesome! Hopefully she gets one, they're great. @HoosierJeeper mentioned the JL is the only thing that kind of compares to a KJ. I have to agree - my wife drove the KJ over 15 years before getting her JL. She looked a few times at other stuff, like the Fiat 500 when that came out, and the... -

Johnny O's 2020 Rubicon Build - KHAAAAAN! the ScienceMobile II
How cool, more KJ peeps that have JLs!! I figure I can share since a few others have done the same. :) We started with one - my wife got her JLU Sport S in 2018, and kept it stock for 5 years. Our son installed Rubi takeoff springs/shocks and 33's in October when the OEM Goodyears finally wore...
