    Jeep liberty 2001 2.5 CRD

    In 2002, the Luxury Group offered Heated Power Mirrors - Folding. This means they are heated and are power-adjusting but fold away manually. North American KJ's never had the mirrors that fold using a motor.

    Air Ionizer

    Not my 2002 KJ LTD. I needed the key on to light a cigarette with my lighter. Maybe it's cause I have 2 plugs in front. The lighter needs the key. The second outlet doesn't.

    Jeeps First Test

    Cool. I could have told you that she'd hold up through ruts & drops at speed. Many of the streets here in Brooklyn (especially Canarsie) are like zero-G camelbacks & my KJ hasn't bottomed out yet. Pucker factor 15.

    Skid ?

    02 KJ LTD EDITION models came with standard XEUS skid plate. When the Renegade was intro'd in late 02 it was the only model with more armor standard. Of course, factory options could be purchased to add skids, i.e. Off-Road group, etc. to the LTD or Sport models.

    Considering KJ purchase, seeking feedback on certain things

    I hear you LibertyCRD, but when I first read this I couldn't help but take some offense. Saying the CRD is far superior is stretching it a bit. Somewhat superior perhaps, but it's in the eye of the beholder. My 3.7 has been incredibly dependable (not 1 breakdown in 42 months), refined and...

    Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S G051s (Highway All-Season)

    The 245/70/16 should fit with no rubbing, particularly if your KJ was built prior to March 2002.

    Maintenance Time!!??

    The following is a thread on JU that I found interesting. Scroll down to approx the 12th post (pmbrauer 10/22, 19:52 hrs) entitled throttle body - clean the whole thing. I believe his experience pertains to the 4.7L, which is the 3.7 sibling. I'm not suggesting that you DIY, but after...

    Liberty Sport Special Edition

    The wheels are the same as 2002 stock Limited wheels with the exception of the painted dark slate throat accents. My Limited wheels are identical, but have glitter/metal-flake appearance throat accents.

    Liberty Sport Special Edition

    They should have thrown in Select-Trac TC.

    3.7L Decent or not?

    DC played it smart with this engine. It is virtually identical to the 4.7 V8 which was introduced in 1999 and was relatively tried & true. That fact brought my "trust-factor" up a couple notches.

    Question about brakes/ABS

    While I respect your opinion, ABS's entire function is to give you that few extra feet you need to stop by enabling you to STEER AROUND THE OBSTACLE THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO HIT, thus giving you extra time to stop. I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but ABS won't decrease your stopping...

    3.7L Decent or not?

    Performance = very decent Gas mileage = obscenely indecent Reliability = Outstanding And like the 4.0 , the 3.7 is a truck engine, not a girly, car engine.

    Question about brakes/ABS

    Don't forget that insurers will offer a discount on liability, PIP & collision premiums for ABS equipped vehicles, so the ABS model may be cheaper to insure. I have ABS & have been very happy with its performance, but the tires are still the biggest issue. My ABS would engage ALL THE TIME...

    We REALLY don't need no stinkin badges!!!

    The one I ordered about 1 1/2 years ago was also of the "crackerjack prize" variety. These are the original badges used on the 03 & 04 models. I think DC went with the thick chrome-look badges in 2005. They're probably just getting rid of the surplus "cheap-o" badges.

    So What Do You Think???

    I'm with Eddo on this. Jon & I were members of L.O.S.T. since inception in 2002. That is a great board and I got alot of great info there, but I found it to be more "wheelin" oriented. IMO, the guy who posted that is just narrow minded. Variety is the spice of life..no?? And my sexist...

    Screeching tires...Normal? Design flaw?

    I'm running Yoko Geolandar AT+II on both my jeeps. These tires are great and hard to beat the price. http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/showthread.php?t=675015

    How often do we really need to change oil?

    I drive about 2 miles a day, 5 days a week, all city traffic - NO HIGHWAY. I bought the KJ in April 02 & as of today it has all of 4725 miles. I've found it necessary to change my oil based on elapsed engine time - every 75 hours. I obviously can't change it every 3000 miles cause it'll be...

    Parents, any ideas for our toddlers?

    My daughter rests her right hand on the armrest on the door (not the handle) and her left hand goes on the upper part of the wheel well curve next to the seat. She then pushes herself up with both hands.
