    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Thats the best thing about AvE. He is a rare gem among youtubers and isn't trying to shill anything. The method used to test each is very scientific (he even has a control group). He shows that each oil has some effect, but not nearly to the point the marketing makes it seem. For example...

    Liftgate (Rear Hatch) latch cycles with car off

    I just had some weird lock unlock problems too on sunday, and found my batt voltage low. Everything was normal, I had been driving around for some hours. Went to park and lock the jeep and when I hit the lock button all of the locks repeatedly tried to cycle unlock. I opened the door, locked...

    Hi EVERYBODY.New 06 Liberty owner here.166k. Gear indicator light swap question.

    Trying to save myself a buck, I bought NEW fobs/keys online and planned to take them into a locksmith to cut/program. Found out locksmiths cannot add new fobs/keys without at least 2 unique key codes. Found out that dealer will not cut/program keys and fobs you supply, you MUST purchase the...

    Hi EVERYBODY.New 06 Liberty owner here.166k. Gear indicator light swap question.

    starting with 1 key only, it cost me about $600 to get 2 fobs and a second key at a dealer.

    Hi EVERYBODY.New 06 Liberty owner here.166k. Gear indicator light swap question.

    not sure how to swap your bulb, but as far as the keys go, if you only have 1 you cannot program another without a dealers scan tool. A locksmith can duplicate your existing key, but it will not be unique code on the chip so it will not allow you to add additional remote fobs. to program new...

    "Switchback" LED's

    so you are wanting clear sidemarkes with either: 2 168 bulbs (one yellow one white) OR 1 bulb (like two color 3157) that can do the color switching on its own internally. I don't think those exist (i couldn't find any), at least not that mount in the factory location. Couldn't even find...

    Low Compression on Cylinder #3

    pretty hard to narrow it down to a cracked head with it still on the vehicle. Also, they usually have very severe symptoms, like leaking oil/coolant FAST when hot or even burning one or both of those (smoke out the exhaust for sure). My experience is that most of the time heads warp before...

    Special wiring mystery

    2 amps vs 1 amp is a cost vs. power vs. size choice. It is easier (cheaper) to get large amounts of power out of (2) 2 channel amps vs (1) 4 channel amp. Some amps pass-through just as well (meaning when they are off the signal goes through and speaker still works). There are many variations...

    Special wiring mystery

    If fuse 9 is tied to your BOTH your low beams then that is likely your issue with the fuse blowing. Each low beam should be on its own 10amp fuse (#4 and #5). Certainly seems like some wires have been swapped around during an HID job or other mod. Have you compared your wiring to the manuals...

    Upper Control Arm's (UCA's) Mevotech TTX or Moog Problem Solver

    the strut top plates and spring isolators you linked look like all of the stock equivalent to me (without going and finding the part number crossrefence I couldn't say for sure anyways). If your existing isolators are shot you should replace them, I re-used my isolators but my lift included...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    got some new seat covers for xmas and finally got them on. They are Carhart material and made by Covercraft. They fit really well and the material is really heavy. Cannot recommend them enough.

    Upper Control Arm's (UCA's) Mevotech TTX or Moog Problem Solver

    The mevotech guys really love their hype/buzzwords, and that makes me very nervous. I worry that they are spending more time and energy on MARKETING over product design and quality manufacturing. Only time will tell though, and I hear of more and more folks using them. I recently used a bunch...

    Another power steering fluid question - 2003 Liberty V6

    I switched mine from amber PS fluid to ATF+4 by sucking out the old and filling the reservoir with ATF and repeat over and over and over. There is going to be some mixing of the two as you do this, but by repeatedly sucking out the reservoir and topping off with new ATF you slowly replace all...

    Transmision Radiator ?

    Catching up. Sorry, I guess I missed the part where your trans radiator was bypassed completely. If PO didnt do a good job of plugging the holes on it, I would not re-use it. I would be concerned about dust and dirt all up inside that cooler from being disconnected, all that junk is going to...

    Transmision Radiator ?

    easy way to check a wheel bearing is to jack up that wheel so its not touching the ground and try to move it. Move it up and down, left and right, in and out. You should be able to push and pull on it as hard as you want and it should be really solid. If you feel slop at all that is sign they...
