    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The new high carbon steel rotors also come with a built in wear gauge…though before I read the documentation, I thought it was a casting error when I saw it ;)

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I also added more silicone grease to the sliding pins that came with the rebuilt calipers and, more importantly, replaced the stupid short top caliper slider pin (the one with the even more stupid plastic sleeve on it) with the longer bottom slide pin that I pulled from the old front calipers...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Also did the front axle with the high carbon rotors and ceramic pads I got from ID parts. Was going to rebuild the right side caliper due to a torn dust boot and chipped piston. I even figured out a way to safely do it while still attached to the brake line but by the time I priced out the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Just an update on the parking brake… it took THREE more slight adjustments to get it to stay working perfectly. With her butt in the air, I once again had the PB handle pulled 3 clicks up and adjusted each star knob until I couldn’t turn the rear wheel with both hands. Guessing that the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    While I did not notice any wheel drag, or smell any brake burning, with the new parking brake adjustment, when I finally got to town, I did notice that the left rear rotor was too hot to touch, while I could leave my knuckle (cuz it has less nerve endings then my finger tips) on all the other...

    Looking the upgrade my suspension on 2005 jeep liberty

    At least on the Dodge Ram trucks from the same timeframe, those viscous harmonic dampeners on the DS are a known failure point that eventually cause vibration

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Awhile ago, I posted how I examined and determined that the ridiculous double cable, double clutch, double spring engagement mechanism is actually still working fine on Giddyup…rather the lack of a parking brake was the result of what I found inside the rotor "hat"… pieces of the cheap Master...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I also installed the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads that I got from Rockauto for $30 on the rear axle since it was still up in the air from the differential lube job. NOTE to self and others… apparently RA "wholesaler closeout" can include "open box returns" instead of a simple closeout. The...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Finally got around to installing and perfectly adjusting the new parking brake shoes on Giddyup. A good cleaning and a little silicone grease at all the pivot points was all it took. While obviously not a hard job, it is definitely 7.5/10 on the PIA scale due to the "old school" spring design...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Today, I got the ARB Chrysler 8.25 differential cover back onto the rear pumpkin. Here are a few pics of it, including the mark on the dipstick that I filed in to match the factory diff fluid level at about mid axle height. I also used a Lube Locker LLR-C825 gasket to install the ARB cover and...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I finally got around to draining out the rear differential fluid on Giddyup. For some unknown reason, I had NOT got around to doing so since stabling her about 115k miles ago. In fact, I only realized that when I recently checked her fluid levels and found the rear pumpkin to be almost about...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    God I hate that…it recently happened to me with a 4' machined strait edge that I bought to tune up my joiner up…I took it out of the box and someone had replaced the machined strait edge with a 4' piece of 1/8" Simpson Tie strapping that they painted black and put right back in the box...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Is that the BWD from rockauto ?? I'd be curious to see a side by side pic of the toasted Four Seasons and the BWD…I never got to comapre them directly.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Another FYI — ID Parts, who specialize in CRD maintenance and engine parts, is having a fairly good Early Black Friday sale on some good ones. I got a pair of high carbon rotors and ceramic pads for Giddyup's front axle all for $112 delivered. They also have a full CRD filter kit (oil, fuel...
