What's up guys? I have an 05 Renegade. It's not my daily driver and it's not going to be a super off road machine either. I have been enjoying it and fixing all the little things to get her running well. See you out there!

Welcome, KJ 's are great vehicles.
Easy overall to work on and good off road.

Here's the only one I have right now. My lady is hanging off the back right after we got it. I bought it from a guy who towed it behind his RV, it has the two hook ups on the front I need to remove. It was sitting for about a year so I changed the oil and filter, air filter, flushed the coolant, changed the ****** fluid as well. I took the spark plugs out and found they were Champions, which seems to be the OEM spark plug? I could be wrong but they were toasted. I filled her with premium and will continue for the next couple of fill ups to help clean out the fuel system. I have an appointment with the Jeep dealer to take care of the most recent recall (lower rear control arms). Then the week after it's a 2.5" lift with some new tires. After that I am not sure what I will do but to fit the tires I am going to bend over the pinch weld and cut the front bumper a little. Thanks for the warm welcome, I have been reading different threads and the information is great, not a ton of bickering either haha.

Take care!

Is that pic after all the upgrades? Looks good. Did it run ok when you first bought it after it sat for a year?

I haven’t done any updates to it yet except trim the air dam on the front. It ran a little rough I think because of the old gas. I filled it with 91 and changed the spark plugs, oil, radiator fluid, and transmission fluid. The only issue I have right now is the airbag light comes on. I’m working on that, going to try forum suggestions and hope it clears

You able to see if there are codes going off because of that airbag light?

The OB reader I have hasn’t flagged any codes for it. I could take it to autozone or something and see if their reader is better, mine is just a cheaply made one from Walmart
