    misc free stuff

    What model is the radio? Can you send a pic? My radio's volume knob is glitchy, but I don't want to pay for aftermarket unless it breaks completely.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Put in new spark plugs.

    Question about bolts needed for hitch.

    A tap in that size can be very difficult to find. I was able to borrow a thread cleaning kit from my local O'reillys that had the correct sized thread in it and did the trick. Troy, what's the problem with grade 8.8 bolts- are they not strong enough? I would think a proof load of 85,000 PSI...

    Rpm extreme ecu tuning

    Is that tuning effective? From everything I've heard and read, tuning a KJ isn't normally going to make a difference...

    bored at work so i made a shovel mount

    Nice. I might do the same thing- I've been thinking about building a cargo shelf like the one you have. You get to do that at work? Must be nice...

    2004 KJ: Need assistance with manual transmission fluid change

    Yup! That looks like mine did when I first changed the oil. Word to the wise: DON'T over-tighten the fill plug or it will get stuck and possibly round out when you try to remove it next time. If that happens, your only option is to fill your tranny through the shift tower which is a PITA...

    Backspacing question!

    I had slight rubbing with 235 70R16s on a stock suspension, but I have slightly bigger tires now that she's lifted. I emphasize SLIGHT rubbing, nothing 5 minutes with a heat gun can't fix.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Seems like I've found a lot of people on here and LOST replacing their front drive shaft CVs lately (myself included.) Has anyone else noticed that when you have a problem with your Jeep, there are lots of other people having the same problem at the same time? Or is it just me...

    Location of the Low-Side Service Port (2004, 3.7L Jeep Liberty)

    Nothing will happen when you remove the cap. It's just to keep dust off the valve.

    Backspacing question!

    I have 16x7" soft 8s with 4" backspacing, and I get mild rubbing on the fog light doors with an OME lift and bigger tires. I really like the wider stance though. There are some pictures of my Jeep floating around on this site somewhere, I'm at work right now so I can't post any.

    2004 KJ: Need assistance with manual transmission fluid change

    You've got the drain plug all right, but I think you've mislabeled the fill plug. Mine is in a similar spot on the PASSENGER side, and although there is a circular cutout on the driver's side, there is no actual plug there. There is no dipstick. To check the level, you should remove the fill...

    Location of the Low-Side Service Port (2004, 3.7L Jeep Liberty)

    It's the valve on the little silver hard line right next to the washer fluid filler cap. You can't miss it.

    How To: Change front driveshaft / change a driveshaft head

    Just replaced the front shaft CV. I found all kinds of gritty stuff in there, and the joint had some play in it so I think that boot had been torn for a while. The boot came off in 3 pieces.

    Check the fuse box on the driver's end of the dash. I bet you blew a fuse.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Replaced the CV joint on my front drive shaft. The old one had developed some play and was full of grime from a ripped boot.

    Gear Oil selection

    At my last driveline fluid change, I used Coastal 80W90 in both of my open diffs (non synthetic.) It is fractionally thicker than 75W90, but either one should be fine for you. From what I read, non-synthetic gives better protection to your differentials, but costs a tiny bit in mileage (I...

    Should I lift my KJ?

    I'd say if you're worried about the money, then just save up and continue to wait until it doesn't hurt as much to do the lift and tires. I waited a few years before I got an OME suspension on my KJ- and it was worth it when I did. I've wheeled mine in places I was sure I'd never get out of...

    Replace stock front tow hooks with D-Rings?

    I haven't checked on mine, but you might be able to use the triangular base for the hooks as a starting point for frame mounting, and drill some holes in metal stock to make a bolt-on replacement...

    Noise: "Squeak Squeak" on cold start

    Update: Squeaks below 3/4 of a tank, but still only for 2 minutes after start and only the first start of the day, regardless of outside air temperature. I've started from 50F to 100F, and it only squeaks after sitting overnight. After 2 minutes, it just goes away. If I leave it parked at...
