    New Brake Rotors and PAD's all around

    Possibly corrected dash light alarms. When I bought the Jeep in Nov 2020 I always had a periodic ABS yellow light pop up. It would come and go and I would continue to drive. When I backed out I would always get a scratching metal to metal grinding as if the brake pads were down to metal. But...

    Did i find a gem?

    What year is it? I have never seen a "european" version. I like the spare tire holder. And you got those small lights on the rear bumper. Nice!

    New Brake Rotors and PAD's all around

    I figure I would give an update on my decision and results of the installation. I decided on the Raybestos Element 3 package - rotors and blended pads. My old rotors were the originals since installed in 2002. The shims cud have been the originals because they were embedded on the metal. The...

    New Brake Rotors and PAD's all around

    I bought the Liberty in Nov 2020 with 94000 miles on it. It was a trade in at a volvo dealership. The best I can tell is that the person that bought it in Washington State in Nov 2002 and then brought it to VA and had its first 3500 mile oil change. Then they used the vehicle sparingly around...

    New Brake Rotors and PAD's all around

    I posted about 1500 miles last weekend thru Appalachia and Liberty did just fine. Climbed hills with ease and passed others without a sweat. I did notice that the front brakes did throb a little bit when applied. I have 118000 miles on my 2003 with the 45RFE (tr)anny and 3.7 engine. The...

    Spare tire carrier without under brackets

    The tire carrier is rated at 50lbs max and without those “rotted” pieces of metal the weight of the tire and bracket will bounce against the tailgate and dent it. Suggestion: go to Home Depot and look for Simpson straps or similar in the building materials area and use them. They are...

    Rear Cargo cover

    I have an idea. Get two dowels that fit into the holes where the stock OEM cargo covers insert into. Then get some "lycra" type of stretchy material and use staples and attached it so you scroll and unscroll the cover as needed. It won't retract like the OEM, but it might work. Or maybe buy a...

    Rear Cargo cover

    It keeps cargo off the deck and allows long items to lay down. When I need to spread out it allows for down time when it is wet outside or for the canine to lay down.

    Rear Cargo cover

    I bought a storage rack from 4WP that replaced the storage cover. When I bought the 2003 Liberty in Nov 2020 it did not have a storage cover so I kept looking and found a rack made by TOMKEN sold thru 4WP. The part number is TMC-0140-R and is made of steel and powder coated. I tie wrapped some...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I put in new front Jounce Bumpers. It looks like I replaced the originals on my 2003 Libby. One was gone and the other one fell out when I touched it. The rear ones should be replaced soon. Also, I put in new thrid brake light. The old one was barely visible when lit. Also, I decided to...

    That'll do Jeep

    Ah! Okay! I have a 2003 Limited and the hole to hole center is about 7" and the ball has a 2" drop. I did not know there was a recall at some point. I can only assume this one may have been ordered or the previous owner may have opted for the shorter hitch and drop. Thx for the info.

    That'll do Jeep

    What ****** do you have? How is your hitch connected to the trailer? Does it have an extender or does the trailer tongue tuck underneath the spare tire for easy fit? I have a 2003 with 114000 miles in excellent condition with the 45RFE ******. I got it used in Nov 2020 with 94000 miles on it...

    KJ Low profile roof cross bars w/basket

    I used the pipes from Farmtek as you suggested and then tried to find a low profile flat rack. That works best for my needs and will allow me to park the jeep in the garage. Anyway this is what I finally came up with and did the install over the weekend. The one thing is that I need to stop...

    KJ Low profile roof cross bars w/basket

    I went ahead and ordered the clamps and pipe from Farmtek after looking around to see if anything is local. I have not decided on the roof rack just yet but will look at a ~ 40" x 40" size with low or non-existent side height. I just need the area behind the sunroof for storage and with no over...

    KJ Low profile roof cross bars w/basket

    I like that! Can you describe or point me to a list of components or? I can give it a try. What I am trying to do is put a rack roof up to hold the spare tire for those times that I want to put on a tow point basket. Tow point baskets just do not fit on the KJ's and still allow the back...

    KJ Low profile roof cross bars w/basket

    I am looking for low profile roof cross bars for my stock 2003 KJ roof rails. The OEM rails are fine but I need low profile cross bars that are even on their top so that I can place a cage/basket on top. The OEM rails are sloped but most cross bars would allow for an uneven installation on...

    New lifters/rockers installed?

    Yeah, I am familiar with what to look for but I am not interested in opening up a leak free valve cover. My luck, they would leak when I re-installed just to get a looksee. Anyway I have no reason to suspect any issues based upon the history of the vehicle and the places it was driven. It has...
