    Front end noise

    Don't let them rip you off. The ball joints are notoriously bad from the factory, so much so that they did a recall on the LBJ. Not sure if you've done that recall yet. It really is worth it to do it yourself, if you have the time and tools (or a friend w/ tools). For $1500 you can do...

    RIP to my RLE

    Care to elaborate about the engine swap? Upgrading or just putting in a replacement? I really like those Cummins R2.8, but it'd be easier to buy a TJ and use the kit built for that than to shoehorn it into the KJ. I've been wanting to build up a clone of Fred's (from dirt every day)...

    4x4 problem

    I think we all have a "Hank" in our lives that we're forced to deal with. I like that he put it on us to remove him. Kinda like when "Hank" borrows my tractor and returns it empty, making his problem mine. :happy175::happy175:

    Cooling Fan Stays On

    It's the big fan beneath the fan shroud. I believe it's called the radiator cooling fan on rockauto, and I've always known it as the thing that makes anything serpentine belt related a PITA! Anyway, it's staying on. 100% is related to engine speed, i.e. it is making the engine run harder...

    Cooling Fan Stays On

    I think the fan clutch has gone out because the HD cooling fan is staying on. I got in to drive it the other day, and after warming it up in the driveway for a few minutes, the fan would not turn off like it typically does. Can anyone confirm that it is my fan clutch? If it is, what brand...

    Where are the safest points to put a jack and jack stands on a 2003 Jeep Liberty KJ?

    2 hours of overtime a day, so I don't mind doing it. The great part is the time off that is coming up in the winter.

    Where are the safest points to put a jack and jack stands on a 2003 Jeep Liberty KJ?

    Here here! :favorites13: Just pulled through 16, 10 hour days. So wiped out, but that paycheck is going to make me smile. As simple as it sounds. Here's a link about what started this. It's a silly reference to millennials not being able to afford things like homes, cars, etc. How...

    Proper way to fully drain, flush, and refill the coolant system?

    I wish I woulda replaced all hoses, and water pump, when I replaced my tstat. Woulda saved me a lot of headaches down the road. Listen to what these good people are saying. It is sound advice. Also, to reiterate, HOAT only. Zerex G-05 is what I use.

    Where are the safest points to put a jack and jack stands on a 2003 Jeep Liberty KJ?

    Whoa whoa whoa, don't put that on all millennials. Sure we may be responsible for a lot of things, like avocado toast, but don't put this jackass on us!! :happy175: Maybe he'll go and get a life, or get crushed. We'll never know, and we'll all be just fine not knowing!

    Value of 2002 Liberty Limited Edition 60k

    I think if the Jeep is in top condition throughout, you should be able to get 5k.

    Once you lift it, you won't need to jack it up to change the oil! :gr_grin: Did a quick duckduckgo search and found this directly out of the manual.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Clipped a deer a few months ago. Cracked my headlight assembly and busted the grill up. Been waiting on the bumper to get here so I can tackle the whole front end together. The RL rear bumper and hitch took out an Infiniti G35 a few years ago. The guy had literally just driven off the...

    Pulsating Brakes

    The drums are definitely old school! Have thought about throwing an '03 axle on there but it's not worth the time. I don't mind having the drums though, they never give me any issues (sans the annoying squeak). I'll be replacing rotors up front and the drums in the rear. Along with a good...

    Pulsating Brakes

    Seems like the consensus is to replace pads/rotors every brake job. I was on the fence because my rotors look fine but the pads are at end of life, just over 40k on them. Should the drums be replaced as well? This is on the same topic but deviating from the original question. I've had an...

    The well known speedometer issues.

    When mine was out the sensor had been damaged on the wiring caused by a rub near the brake line. The sensor itself was also gummed up. Could be that it's DOA. How much have you driven it since the repair?

    The well known speedometer issues.

    How does the sensor in the diff look, clean and undamaged at the connection?

    Ignition Coil Pack

    I was having a very rough idle after a 5500 mile road trip. New plugs and coil packs were the ticket to it being smooth again. It had also just passed 200k and I couldn't remember ever replacing them myself, and replacing the coils was exactly what it needed. I also cleaned the TPS, but it...

    Receiver hitch front bumper

    I'd just get a custom one built then. Hopefully it'll be a lot less than $1k.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Took a little detour on the way to work yesterday. We both had fun playin in a little bit of mud.

    Ok, which one of you geniuses did this?

    Hell yea! That is the spirit of Jeep there! A trailer-only rig has its place; they sure can be fun, but at the end of the day, being able to use it for more than one thing sure does make it worth it.
