    Long Live The Liberty

    Sounds awful. Long live my Liberty! Hopefully getting parts won't be an issue any time soon.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Went wheeling with friends. I'm simply amazed at what my Jeep can do with just some basic tires and an OME suspension! Tons of fun. Got stuck once... got out with the help of good friends (quick hood push to back out) and thankfully didn't need a tow. Learned I need tow points front AND rear...

    NP 231 Transfer Cable Problem

    I just got back from a wheeling trip where I couldn't shift out of 4LO, and my bushing was just GONE. The cable and control arm on the case are just fine though. Weird. Wonder if it came off in the underbrush, or if it's been missing for a while. Thanks for the part #, I'm going to pick mine...

    Fire Investigation

    How is this just now becoming an issue? The Liberty is over 10 years old now and it's not like the gas tank has moved since it was new. Seems to me this has some damn tort lawyer's name written all over it... I, for one, am concerned the cure will be worse than the disease if you know what I...

    HELP! Squeaky clutch / problems shifting

    UPDATE: It was the pilot bearing, which apparently self-destructed after my 230 mile road trip to San Diego. The mechanic found its remains scattered all over the place. Luckily the tranny input shaft was OK. I went ahead and had him do the whole clutch job since the pressure plates have...

    HELP! Squeaky clutch / problems shifting

    Thanks. I just talked to the shop and he said he thinks the transmission is fine based on what he could see on inspecting the clutch. They hadn't dropped it to do the clutch job yet though, so I'm still holding my breath. With some good luck, I might get my Jeep back tomorrow.

    Drove it to the shop for a clutch job... hoping it doesn't need a new tranny :(

    "black ops liberty" worst KJ build ever

    What the hell IS that? It looks like a piece of flashing front around a door. I couldn't watch the whole video; it was causing me to lose faith in people. - $15 in decals and spray paint - Two hours of video editing in your Mom's basement - Posting your idiocy on Youtube for all to see...

    HELP! Squeaky clutch / problems shifting

    Sorry for the revival... @#$% it, I just had the SAME PROBLEM! Mine was driving fine up till yesterday and when I went to start it up this morning, I got the "angry chipmunk" just like in your video and occasional hard shifting (although I was able to double-clutch and get it to shift...

    Tires sticking out from wheelwells - how much is too much?

    Soft 8s work fine without a lift- I drove mine that way for 3+ years. You just can't have big tires until she's lifted.

    Struts Question

    I bet you $20 it's your sway bar, not your shocks. You can take the bar off and grease the bushings, but it will just come back in a month or two. Replacing the bushings is the best fix.

    Tires sticking out from wheelwells - how much is too much?

    That's about right. I was running exactly that setup before I got slightly bigger tires, and I think it looks better than stock. I measured 1 inch out from the top of the flare, and on my current tires that's pretty much just the normal "bulge" of the sidewall. You might have some mild...

    Part Time 4wd light

    It's the 4WD position "sensor". They always seem to go out eventually. You'll have to replace it, which isn't difficult if you know how to take out your center console. A search on here should reveal at least one thread that shows you how. BTW, your 4WD works fine without it, so there's no...

    Long Island Off-Roading

    There are rules, cops, and an EZ pass gate every 50 yards... good luck! Just kidding. I went to school on L.I. Off roading might be a faster way to get around than the Expressway.

    Unique At The Least

    An interesting concept, but I'd rather just get a Wrangler.

    Actual Lift Amount - Lets Compare Fender Heights

    My OME suspension is officially broken in... 20.5" front, 21.5" back, which means an inch to an inch and a half of settling since new. Driver's side is about 0.25" lower (go figure) She still looks good and rides like a champ though :)

    Ridenby, did you get a new Jeep? Why are you selling?

    steering wheel shake.

    I noticed something similar after I lifted my Jeep. An alignment and new tires (balancing the wheels) fixed the problem.

    Wheel Spacer Consequences and Gains?

    If you keep regular sized tires (235 70 16) on your Jeep, you can reduce the backspacing on your wheels without issues on a stock suspension. Keep in mind though, rubbing will be an issue with bigger tires, even if you have a lift. Mine has 235 75 16 tires and 4" backspaced wheels (equivalent...
