    Bilstein shocks with a 3" lift

    First off, way to revive a 2 year old thread. I actually read through it and learned a lot of good stuff. Finding these old threads and reading through them is a great way to become more acquainted with the Liberty. However, I think it'd be a good idea for you to start a new thread. I'll...

    Going to order a new set of UCAs next week, try to get them in the following weekend. After looking around on JBA.com, I can't find those MOOG bushings. Is there another site I should be looking on? I also found some new rims as well, 16x8 w/ 5" backspacing for $80 on summitracing.com, and...

    Weak door mirrors, perhaps switch.

    Interesting that the motors are still working. Perhaps its a resistor, but I don't know much about electronics. I'm curious to see how you get them working again. Mine have been out of order for a while now.

    Yea, replacement of the UCA is my first step. Currently running stock rims. I've seen the options on JBA.com, what other options are out there?

    It may be hard to see, but in the top two pictures almost all of the metal is gone and it is broken on the tire side of the ball joint. If you look at a picture of a new one, there should be almost 1/8" or more of metal there. Maybe I'll put a picture of a new one up to compare. Yea, its...

    Well, this weekend brought quite a surprise while I was working Mindy. To preface all of this, I'm not the one who usually does work on my Jeep, with my schedule, lack of space, limited knowledge and tool selection, I often take it to a shop for work. Now, I do trust the shops I use, and they...

    ARB CKMA12 Air Compressor

    Hey NBAS, I had the same air compressor, and it just recently blew out. Had it for 5 years, and used it regularly, before it quit while airing up in 100+ California desert heat. My 4x4 shop installed the pump when they installed the lockers, so I wasn't around to see how they did it. I...

    Overhaul project ideas

    What Tom said is pretty on point. Honestly, there aren't many people who know Libertys better than him. I've been on this site since late 2000s (even tho my join date is 2015, big lurker), and the reply I look for in every thread is from him, because his responses are knowledgeable and...

    Parts

    What type of parts do you expect will be hard to find in a few years? Also, what type of parts do you like keep on hand? I only recently have been able to work on my jeep, and it's been really rewarding, for my personal satisfaction as well as for my wallet. I doubt I'll ever be doing a...

    Dome light question

    2002 Limited here as well, and mine does the same thing. I just hit the unlock button, and if need be hit the dome light. Then end up forgetting that I turned it on and proceed to drive with the dome light on until I'm at my destination or too annoyed to continue.

    Getting the lift itch

    Can confirm on need to re-gear. I get horrible gas mileage. Also, I end up leaving overdrive off and switching b/t 1st and 2nd while driving around town, so essentially doubling down on my poor gas mileage. My next upgrade will be a re-gear. It ain't cheap, but it'll help tremendously Sent...

    Raptor lining my interior because wet carpet sucks.

    Will you be replacing the carpet after you're done with the coatings? I'm curious about how much the carpet attenuates the noise and how loud it will be just driving around. How many mm thick is the coating? Water and all the circuitry that exists in modern cars doesn't mix (sorry, wanted...

    High power reverse lights

    Stock reverse lamps are very dim. I didn't realize there was an upgrade for them, pretty cool. I added a 10w 5 LED reverse light that mounts directly to my license plate. Flip flopped the license plate lights with the LED. It's come in handy many many times. Sent from my iPhone using...
