    How long will a typical Jeep Liberty engine last?

    Mine has 157,300 miles. Has had the ECM, water pump, heater core, radiator, both front ball joints changed. Run Castrol GTX 5x30 with Lucas synthetic oil treatment, NGK V-Power (copper core) plugs, K&N oil and air filter. Only complaints are the rear drums won't stay in adjustment for more than...

    It took 2hrs because it was 23 degrees F outside and 10-15 mph winds. You couldn't feel your hands after 2min. Also the first time I ever dismantled a column, not fun to do outside and in the dark even with a friend.

    CB Antenna in Existing Antenna Mount

    I mounted my antenna off the rear tire carrier, used a mount that clamps onto one of the stud nuts from the carrier to the body. A 12ft coax fits from the antenna to under the weather strip on the rear gate, run on the floor to the passenger footwell. My Cobra 29ltd classic is mounted on the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I opened the entrance up to the edges and smoothed it all out to the machined area near the blade, didn't mess with the blade area. Should really help smooth out the air flow through the TB.

    Hello from Middle TN

    I've been driving my 2002 KJ for 2 years, by far my favorite thing to drive. I finally joined because I've started doing more work on my Jeep and thought it be fun to talk with fellow KJ owners.

    Cheap Performance Mods

    Has anyone ever tried swapping a 2004 and later KJ intake tube to to a 2002 KJ? I got one at a pull-a-part for almost nothing, cleaned it, wrapped it, and installed it. Only thing is figuring out what to do with the valve cover breathers, I might just join them together and put a pod filter on them.

    03 3.7L Jeep liberty oil issue. need help troubleshooting

    Even when I changed mine it still consumed oil, the plugs may appear clean because the engine is burning the small amount of oil without carbon buildup. It's not worth it to do much else, just keep up with using quality oil and filters. Adding a quart every month or two isn't a big deal.

    I couldn't think of a cheecky title

    Try to get the roof repaired, it'd be sad to see another quality Jeep KJ sent to the scrapyard just because of some roof damage. Try finding a donor car to get a clean roof from. Should let your kid drive it again as they'd remember how it protected them last time, would help re inspire some...

    03 3.7L Jeep liberty oil issue. need help troubleshooting

    It's most likely a combo of worn rings, seals, and vents. Best bet is to change pcv valve and add some Rislone Compression Repair to the oil, the stuff helps cushion worn bearings and fills scratches in the cylinder bores as well as revive old seals. Cheap insurance to extend life unless you...

    Ignition Switch The ignition switch can cause the engine to turn over but not spark, its like $30 at Advance Auto. It only take 2 hrs to change it, you need a set of security torx bits for the steering column.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Cheap Mods I grabbed an intake tube from a 2004 KJ and a throttle body. Port&Polished the throttle body, wrapped the tube with DEI cool tape, installed a K&N air filter. Much improved throttle response and aggressive intake sound. It took 5hrs to do the throttle body, so much smoother than the...
