    Jeep recalling more than 47,000 Liberty, Wrangler ETC models

    So what they are saying is that all the upper BJ's for these years are no good, but they will only replace them if you live in an area where the roads are salted in winter? They deserve to go bankrupt!!

    255/70R16 on 04 Liberty with Rusty's 2.5" lift kit(shock/spring kit)?

    Why not go for 255x65-16's, they are very close to my OME 235x70-16's? Didn't someone confirm here on another thread that there is no rubbing.

    Has anybody tried General Grabber HTS, they are 100% on tire rack at the moment? Just above the Goodyear Triple Treads.

    Class III hitch questions

    I think the wiring kit from the dealer costs about $50, the one that hooks into the tail light connectors. I just removed the two tail light clusters and spliced into the wires there. I can give you the wire colours if your'e interested.

    How To: Remove Fenders?

    The plastic rivets cost me $2 each at the dealer, you can also use the press in type, which is what my Ltd has. I found the plastic rivet stems got stuck in my pop riveter and I had to dismantle it after every rivet, to get the stem out. There probably exists a proper tool for them.

    KJ pet peeves

    Don't yank too hard on those levers, one of mine broke, and I mean the alloy shaft not the plastic lever. Cost me $130 for a new recliner. It's best to take your weight off the seat back or even pull it forward slightly with your other hand, then it frees up.

    Oil Change Causes Fowled Plud/Blown Coil Pack/Burnt Plug Wire

    Swap the coil pack from cylinder 6 with another cylinder then pull the codes again. You don't need a scanner, just turn the ignition on and off without starting the engine, when you turn on the 3rd time the codes will display in the odometer. If the codes are the same try checking the plugs.

    Diff Oil Confusion

    Thanks for the input. I think I'll go with the 75W90 or 80W90 (isn't much difference there) in both diffs.

    Diff Oil Confusion

    I am approaching oil changes for diffs and have been checking recommended viscosities. The front diff 186FIA (Model 30) uses 75W140 until 2005 when it changes to 80W90 in the FSM. Did they change anything, other than the recommended oil? Should I put the 80W90 in my 2002 KJ? The 2002 FSM has...

    Liberty Handling

    A friend once had a 1st generation CRV. He complained that when you towed the consumption got really bad. He put it down to the small engine.

    Liberty Handling

    I've always thought the KJ was very stable for an SUV, and I've still got the crappy Eagle RSA's. I do take things alot slower on bends in the rain, but that's because I know the tyres are no good for that, but in the dry they're fine. I've taken it up to 170-180 km/hr and it still feels...

    HOW TO: Change Oil In A KJ (Video)

    I've been using Fram filters for over 20 years on a variety of vehicles, without a single problem. I wouldn't loose sleep over the fact that you are using a Fram.
