Just a couple of quick, probably stupid, questions regarding lug nuts. I have a set of the steel 16 inch wheels off of a Sport model that I am about to put on my Liberty. They were already pulled from the Jeep when I bought them, so I didn't see how they came off. I know they have the plastic...

Hello all. I have a quick question for you. I haven't really dug into it much yet, so it may be a simple solution. On the drivers side, the tail light is working but the brake light is not. Originally I thought it might have been a bulb, so I put a new bulb in it since I already had them...

Thanks for the answers so far. Good point, but the 4wd was hit in the rear. Not terrible, but enough that it would take some really good body work to get it all straightened back out. At this point the 2wd shell is a lot better off, in which case it makes more sense to swap the 4wd into the 2...

Okay, first, let me start by saying that I know the general mentality is to "sell the 2wd and buy a 4wd". However, I bought the 2wd from someone I know and got a really good deal on it cause it needed some work (new battery, wiper blades, dreaded rear window regulators, oil leak, etc). Most of...

Thanks all for the replies. I was going to buy 2 gallons of coolant, and 2 gallons of distilled water for the final fill. Plus I was going to get enough distilled water to do a fill and drain or two to try to get all of the old stuff out. Is that a solid plan or would it be better to take it to...

Okay, so I am going to order upper and lower hoses, new clamps, thermostat and gasket, radiator petcock, and new coolant for the Jeep. I want to go ahead and flush the system and refill with fresh coolant because a) I'm not sure how old the current coolant is and b) I don't know 100% what is in...

So the OE clamps are the best? I also was about to have the same question since I am about to tackle my lower hose and thermostat.

Thank you for the reply. I am fairly certain it is not leaking down from further up, though I cannot guarantee it. I have heard, via the forums, that the upper driver's side is a known leak point. I have looked over the top corner like nobody's business trying to spot a leak up there, I cannot...

Hello all. I have a couple of questions regarding the radiator. I was doing an oil change today and while i was under the Jeep I noticed a few leaks. One was on the passenger side somewhere around the lower hose/thermostat area. Of course I'm just going to relace both while I'm there. The second...

I had the same problem, went through the same steps (plugs and coils) and was still having issues. I guess it's worth asking, what spark plugs and coil did you put in the Jeep? From my understanding these Jeeps don't take well to anything other than the NGK copper spark plugs and the Mopar...

Around here we pretty much have a parts store on every corner, normally two competitors on opposing corners, lol. I was under the impression the "normal" pulley puller didn't work on the crank pulley/harmonic balancer on the KJ's. I have a Snap-On set similar to that in the Harbor Freight link...

What crank pulley installer does everyone recommend? I'm trying to finalize my shopping list so I can go ahead and order everything so I can get this all fixed on the Jeep. I wanted to find out what installer came recommended before ordering one. Thanks for all the info everyone.

Which one of these is better? OEM 25090 or OTC 6667 And does the Pulley only fit back on one way? I don't want to mess it up when I go to put it back on. EDIT: From looking at pictures, it looks like it has a keyway on the pulley. I assume this means it can only go back on one way, right...

Ah, gotcha. Totally overlooked that part, oops.

Please excuse my complete noobishness, but would these not be similar? Strut spacer plate set
