Just for the heck of it...
... and as an exercise in Photoshopping, I tried to create a two door Liberty. I realize it's not really very practical, but that wasn't the idea, I was just goofin' off.- honu

Attaching Rear License Plate Securely
I was under the impression that the license plate was mounted on the urethane bumper cover, like mine is, not on the sheet metal tail gate. The method I suggested would not be viable in such an application. On a metal tail gate, I'd open the holes up carefully and use a TIG welder to tack in...- honu

Attaching Rear License Plate Securely
I had the same problem. I bought 4 brass inserts, threaded on the outside for wood, inside for machine screws. I drilled out the holes to clean them up and to match the diameter of the inserts. Obviously, the bumper cover is "thin", so I mixed up a bit of epoxy and coated the outside...- honu

This doesn't make sense...
Oh... I remember Nader, wadda waste of skin! Corvairs were hot sleds, I had a '65 Monza Spyder... handled like a slot car. I added a set of axle limiter straps, to prevent the rear wheels from tuckin' under and was good to go... But just like Jeeps and SUVs now days, ya had to know how...- honu

This doesn't make sense...
Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but... Is it just that people can't accept responsibility for their own stupidity and foolish actions, that these sorts of things (lowering the vehicle) take place? I mean, some throttle jockey, who's used to driving cars with a half an inch ground...- honu

Chromed plastic bumper covers???
Metallics can be a pain. If you decide to give it a "shot" (pun intended), make sure you shoot a coat of adhesion promoter before priming. That way the paint will stick to the bumper. When mixing the color, add in a flex agent so the paint won't crack over time. I shot some parts in...- honu

Exhaust/Back pressure
I think you hit the nail on the head... exhaust "velocity" is the issue and properly sized exhaust systems, creating the "right" amount of backpressure, are what control the flow. There are many other factors at play, only one of which is exhaust valve timing. On many engines, the exhaust...- honu

Exhaust/Back pressure
A case in point... several years ago, having purchased a Chevy p/u to tow my boat, I decided it "needed" a "better" exhaust system. I read all the magazines, all touting the improved performance to be gained by going with a larger, cat-back system. I drove to my friendly, neighborhood...- honu

Air Intakes...
It's my opinion that the claims of massive HP gains from air intakes alone are, overstated, to say the least. Same with exhaust systems. Individually, well designed intake and/or exhaust systems will improve efficiency and provide a bit of an improvement, but not the 10-20% some manufactures...- honu

Exhaust/Back pressure
Agreed... all engines need some backpressure in order to develop low end torque. By "overly" reducing the back pressure, the power band moves up the RPM scale. Biggest problem with the "free flowing" systems is that the flow too free... the smaller the engine, the more noticable the effect...- honu

Air Intakes...
The only modification I've done on the intake of my Liberty is to cut out the "accordion" section of the intake tube running from the air box to the TB. I replaced it with a section of aluminum tubing and installed a drop in K&N filter element. The cost was under $40.00. I've got no...- honu

Residue on glass and clearcoat.
I had similar issues. On the glass, I used "Lime-Away". It's a "wipe on, wipe off" deal. I soaked a clean terry cloth towel in the Lime Away and carefully wiped the glass down, following up immediately with a thorough rinsing. Took all the residue off. I used it on the lower corner of...- honu

Just playin' with Photoshop...
Actually, I don't have the first clue, though they do seem to have a slighter greater positive off-set... not much though. There have been no rubbing issues, but the wheels/tires on it are off a stock Magnum R/T, 225/60x18. There have been no modifications done to the suspension and it's a...- honu

Just playin' with Photoshop...
I picked up Adobe Photoshop at Best Buy on sale for just under $60 bucks. Believe me.. if I can install it and make it work, anyone can. I'm a computer neandrethal... As I said, I just loaded up some photos I'd taken and started experimenting. I don't consider myself an expert by any...- honu

Just playin' with Photoshop...
I do like the look and I put these wheels on, assuming (I know) that because they bolted up, they were a match. The bolt pattern on the LX vehicles (Magnum, Charger, 300 and Challenger) is 5 on 115. I was advised by a member here that the Liberty's pattern is 5 on 114. My Liberty is 2WD...- honu

Just playin' with Photoshop...
Keep in mind, it's NOT lowered in real life... nor are the door handles shaved or emblems removed. This is just a horrible exercise in Photoshopping, a nightmare gone terribly wrong. This WILL NOT happen... though the photo could be used to punish errant members. Make them stare at this...- honu
