Starter Motor Replacement Questions...
I mean if the part is free, and you have somewhere to store it, then it beats throwing it away or recycling it. But if you have to spend money to get the part just to sit it on your shelf for someday, then you will be better off sticking that same money in a savings account and letting it...- mrlavalamp

Jeep liberty 4.7 swap
Could the 3.7 be bored over much? Stroker maybe? Maybe even some port and polish on the heads with some flange and manifold work to smooth out all the transitions? I'm sure the gains would be just as marginal as the 4.7 swap, but it would at least be much easier to get running when you are done.- mrlavalamp

04 3.7 Loosing Coolant
Adding to the tank every couple of days? So I am thinking you are probably looking at using something like a quart of water/coolant every 100 or 200 miles? Have you tried revving it while parked and warm? Coolant pressure might go up a little when being driven vs. sitting idling. I know when...- mrlavalamp

Coolant Reservoir Life Expectancy--2006
I always thought carid was a scam website, and that if I ordered anything there I would simply never receive it. Of course I never tried or did research because I really dont like how they flood their results pages with photos of universal garbage. Makes the site very clickbaity feeling.- mrlavalamp

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yesterday I put in LED brake/reverse/turns/dome light and license plate . Did the resistors for the rear where my aftermarket tow wiring harness connects. Made it really easy actually because I was able to make all the connections on the piece that would be easy to remove and restore back to...- mrlavalamp

NP231J Transfer Case - Rework needed?
maybe take the chain off and measure total length flat and pulled tight. Compare that to the pin to pin lengnth to see if it is stretched. Most chain is designed to wear up to a certain % stretch and then the risk is after that point it will not carry the full rated load anymore without...- mrlavalamp

Heavy duty cooling
Looking at rockauto I dont see any 3 pin fan motors (checked assembly or just the motor) listed for the 2002 (the same for 2003). I also checked 2004 and they show plenty of 2 pin and 3 pin options, but it seems to be very hard to find a 3 pin for HD cooling. The only one I found was a GDP...- mrlavalamp

Just bought a KJ, help with floor mat colour?
DANG! Those are some FANCY floor mats. I like the black with the stitching that would match your seats. For what you are about to drop on those floor mats, are you sure you want to spend that kind of cash on something you will be rubbing your dirty feet on? to each his own i guess, but the...- mrlavalamp

2006 Gadget/Gimmick Questions
FWIW on my 06, I dont really have much issue with the "features". I do disable them from time to time though (which is why having an "off" switch is convenient even if it doesnt fully turn them off in the case of stability control vs traction control). I will point out that I live in a...- mrlavalamp

Heavy duty cooling
I installed it in my 2006. Originally had standard cooling, and was getting warm AC at every stoplight in the summer (which tells me the rest of the engine is going to have high heat load since the AC condenser is in the FRONT of the other radiators). I replaced the standard electric fan...- mrlavalamp

LS swap
I can respect folks with the drive to execute but not necessarily the desire to document. Not everyone wants to sit and blog about their build. I think this is great, and if Rkinney manages to shoehorn that LS in I would definitely like to see some photos/videos of the beast he creates.- mrlavalamp

Looking for a steel back bumper set up
The tube bumper/nerf bar fad seems to be coming back here. I see more and more trucks/jeeps driving around with them instead of what I would call the modern "armor" look. More so trucks then jeeps, as the wrangler guys are hooked on the angry eye grilles, grumpers, and whatever that thing...- mrlavalamp

Looking for a steel back bumper set up
I havent seen WAM before. I don't think they look THAT bad considering they are half the cost of the last bumpers I saw available. $600 to start (same front or rear) and options add up pretty quick, so they aren't "cheap" for long if you add some options. A rear with swing away tire and gas...- mrlavalamp

Thermostat housing leak
I did the HD cooling upgrade to mine when I moved to the heat. At first I tried to live without it, but every stoplight my AC would get warm. The parts cost wasn't bad, and I was doing all the cooling system maintenance anyways, so it was easy to add in with it doing the work myself. If...- mrlavalamp

Dash cam without a display
yeah. we got a couple cheap ones and the heat here just melts them on the first warm day (not even summer). None of the other brands have lasted, but mostly it was cheap nonames. Viofo is another brand that comes highly recommended but I dont care for them at all but that is mainly because...- mrlavalamp

Dash cam without a display
blackvue dr750. Output over app via wifi, and you can also remove the sd card and drop it into a usb adapter. I believe that this is much easier than the app/wifi for me because I can actually transfer the files and DO something with it(save it, send it, strip the details and post it to imgur...- mrlavalamp
