Celebrated seven years of ownership, which began on this date in 2013. :)

I also finished up my new workbench in the garage to give her a nice classy atmosphere when we're not out on the road.
I’m approaching 2 years in about a month now, and I’ve learned a LOT during the past two years. Reading up on your experience was one of my deciding factors in choosing a Liberty.

Celebrated 18 years ownership of my 2002 Export CRD yesterday!

Could not celebrate with alcohol though as that is banned under lockdown!:(

Got all the fluids ready to be changed.....need to find a place to do it though as this Village I am downlocked in does not allow any work on vehicles to be performed and we cannot visit other people!o_O

They will, one of the KJ owners here in Ohio that I wheeled with had them, had to stay back away from him and 4wheeling or on any gravel / slag roads
Got a busted windsheild before I thought...... LOL
Well my Jeep spends 99.9% of the time on pavement. So I guess it won't be that much of a problem.

So cal
I was able to get it out. One of the body side bolts of the upper arm was just spinning. Now to finish the rest of the removal
Now with one of the side bolts spinning like that. Will it cause trouble driving / turning? I had the same thing that happened when i replaced my UCA . I was tightening up one side and it span once the nut was tight. But not to excessive just a tight spin .

front shocks,......struts are on cars without upper control arms
and if replacing rear shocks, replace the springs as well, weak springs make the shocks work harder, wearing them out faster
