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.)...
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 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...
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.
I am going to put these up for sale locally in a couple of days. I am in the Cleveland, Ohio area (west side).
Free to any JeepKJ members - but act fast!
They are the roof rack and running boards in the picture of my jeep in my sig. They are 10 and 8 years old respectively and have a fair...
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...
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...
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
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...
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 went the budget route this time:

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...
