    Rear suspension or axle clunk when getting on or off the gas.

    No they weren't. I think that's the very last time I bought a Moog bushing or joint.

    Rear suspension or axle clunk when getting on or off the gas.

    My invoice from 2016 says I ordered 2 units. Don't recall having any extras. Good luck

    Each. One per box. I will never buy them again. I got a whole arm from rockauto for $74. Amazon wasn't far off that price either.

    Moog K200428 Mine were from rockauto, and they still have them.

    Upper arm bushings. They tear. Best viewed when not jacked up. It is very difficult to remove the OEM bushings without stretching the holes (then new bushings won't stay in place.) As careful as I was, still had to tack-weld the new Moog ones in. They didn't last long either, so I swapped over...

    265/75R16

    265 wide tires came factory on many 16x7" wheels - just not jeeps. Chevy and Ford trucks come to mind. Edit: I run 285/75R16 on 16x7 wheels with acceptable results and wear. (3/4 and 1ton pickup).

    Suggestions for A/C clutch?

    Yes. Both original Mopar.

    Suggestions for A/C clutch?

    The swapped-over front clutch plate seemed to work initially, but 2-3hrs down the highway it was smoking and subsequently killed the front bearing on the compressor.

    Suggestions for A/C clutch?

    I had the front clutch plate off in that time. Changing that alone backfired on my first road trip.

    Jeep Liberty Brake and Rotor Question

    I only change the minimum parts each time. Usually the sliders get stiff, and/or a pad decides to f*** off at around 50% because it rusts off the backing plate. Sticking calipers and weeping hoses I just deal with as they come up.

    Suggestions for A/C clutch?

    Get the whole compressor. I looked at changing just the clutch, but it's not standalone/separable from the compressor in the same manner as old ones used to be .

    What parts do I need to add factory cruise control?

    There used to be full kits on eBay compromised of OE parts. That's how I got mine. Worth a check anyway.

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    You would want to check if there's room for it at stock height. Seems like the joint on top of the diff stands taller.

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    I don't know what the big deal is changing a $100 boomerang every 5-7 years. I don't recommend renewing the bushings or balljoint. It costs almost as much, and odds are you stretch the holes on removal, if it's not already rusted so far it crumbles. The dealer changed our lower control arms...

    Blown OME - Moving to Bilsteins

    I have the Ranchos 5000's on the front with CRD coils. Rears are load-assist shocks (Monroe?) for a Durango.

Stopped to take some pics of a swamp in SC and snapped one of the KJ. The rack on the back holds a piece of equipment I was taking with me to a trade
