    What did you do to your jeep today?

    While I'm at it, what is the fluid capacity of this thing? I put just shy of 2 quarts in by the time I hit the dipstick. Does that sound reasonable?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The cover itself is solid as a rock and all the parts (drain plug, fill plug, and bolts) seem to be extremely well machined. I suspect they put some kind of thread-lock finish on the bolts. (Which is perhaps why running a nut up and down them improved matters - I wore some of that stuff off.)...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Never in my life did I think that changing the rear diff oil would turn into an all-afternoon experience. I had no trouble getting the old oil out. It actually looked beautiful, a fact that would come to haunt me as the day wore on. Got everything cleaned up and went to install my new ARB...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    This is on my list (and has been for years). Many attempts and no luck so far. After 30+ years driving a stick I feel weird with no parking brake.

    Gear Oil Question

    What kind of a fanatic freezes their stinkin' gear oil?!!!!! o_O o_O o_O Actually - that is a brilliant idea, and I bet you feel better in the winter knowing the stuff is not sitting in there like pine sap. As for the gas mileage, I quit thinking about that years ago. Anything I do now is...

    Gear Oil Question

    My manual says the rear diff should get 75W-90 (Synthetic) for normal use and 75W-140 when towing. I don't tow all that often but it is not that rare of an occurrence either. Getting ready to change it and not sure what to buy.

    KK gas tank skid plate rot: A solution

    My Jeep says it has 20.5 gallon fuel capacity. I know I was coming home late at night from a concert a few years back and put 20.2 gallons in it. The concert was in Akron and I assumed there would be gas stations all along the highway coming back home. By the time I found one I had about...

    But...but... I always heard that the more stickers you have the faster your car will go. Like racing stripes, or something... :confused:

    KK gas tank skid plate rot: A solution

    Glad to hear it. I was anxious when I started mine up after replacing the PCV Valve yesterday. (But that's just me.) o_O

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Drove it to HF (yes, I sure did!) and picked up one of these bad boys: 46 in. 9 Drawer Mobile Storage Cabinet with Solid Wood Top, Black I built a nice workbench a year or so ago and this will be a nice complement to it. The people at HF did not think it would fit. I told them that I had...

    HOW TO: Replace the PCV Valve on (Some) 2007 and up Jeep Liberty

    Just replaced the one I did eight years ago. (47,000 miles on the Jeep in that time.) I can confirm it is 34 mm. This was only the second time I've had it out of the toolbox! :D

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Replaced my PCV Valve. I was going to do the spark plugs as well but for some reason I am getting tired very easily as of late. I had a write-up from eight years ago which explains why my KJ is different than most other KJ's: HOW TO: Replace the PCV Valve on (Some) 2007 and up Jeep Liberty...

    I think these would not fare well sliding over rocks. :eek:

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yet another of my attempts at humor gone wrong. :p The picture I posted was of my new running boards. If I DID post a picture of the armor and it was a side view of the Jeep how would anyone know? (I am still hunting down bolts, etc.) Here are three more of the running boards...

    I've got a new set of NGK's out in my garage waiting to be installed. Guess I'd better have a second look...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I went the budget route this time: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BC3XQP62?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The old one was much heavier and sturdier. The new one weighs only 38 pounds, and while I wouldn't say it is flimsy it is not the tank the old one was. I am operating off the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    It is much lighter as well. I am considering taking the fairing off as it does not sit right due to the way the four lights are mounted.
