    Replaced Heater Hoses, Rad Hoses, Etc

    My guess is that straight hose from the overflow to the rad is just straight hose. I'm in the process of changing all as well. I've already done the rad hoses, water pump and t-stat. Just waiting for warm weather to do the rest. When I have it down I'll run to the local shop and see if...

    What does the lower Red taillights do? 06

    Common mod when using as a Toad. Wire that bulb in to a tow harness and don't bother with the original tails.

    Odd Whine between 60 and 65 mph

    Update _ solved Quote my own post... I had this noise for over a year and maybe 5000 miles. Finally - gone. I just replaced the water pump as it had a small leak, bearings still seemed fine. After that it was noticeably quieter, at speed, noise is gone. My guess, and just a guess is...

    Clean out of Coolant tank

    I've seen 50 buck ones, but not worth it if it will just eventually go the same way. It's funny, my older Ford still looks like new. I think it's either the type of plastic, or more likely, the HOAT antifreeze dye. I just remember seeing someone do a Chrysler vehicle of some type and...

    Clean out of Coolant tank

    I recall seeing somewhere where someone cleaned out the yellowing that we all get after time. Will soon be replacing all the hoses, w. pump, t. stat - figured I'd clean this out as well. Anyone have any ideas? Seem to remember Denture cleaner or something..

    Gps mounting ideas

    I use one of those Panavise style mounts where you remove the cluster trim and intall the mount, I have a ream base on it. I'm using the huge 5" or 7" Garmin. It's out of the way of the airbag, but will slightly block the radio for the passenger.

    Trailer wiring?

    It's not so much the amp draw (though that is the part of the original Jeep design) it's that the KJ has separate stop and turn signals. The converter works to give an output for trailers with combined stop/turn. You can either use a converter - or wire a separate turn signal for all your...

    Lifting a Daily Driver

    I did the 827/948 springs ad also OME shocks. It's a 99% daily driver - but will beat the hell out of dirt roads, OBX SAND, and the occasional mud. Not afraid to take it about anywhere. Stock 17" wheels (it's a Limited - sucks). What I wanted - and got was a much improved street ride.

    Jeep 2015 late-summer vacation to Michigan

    Know that area , stayed in Munising several times. Seen Dave's equipment before. There is another dude in Shingleton that has some off road towing equipment also. I've never stuck the Libbey uo there, but did bury a Focus SVT in sand once. That's a long drive for you - I'm in Ohio and it's...

    How much air in the tires?

    I'd just keep those tires at the recommended psi (look at the door jamb) or maybe a pound or 2 higher. FWIW - there is a big in the low pressure warning system. At least I've seen it as have others. I have a 2005 fwiw. On a LONG low speed run - say maybe an hour or more where you are rarely...

    Odd Whine between 60 and 65 mph

    Guarantee mine is not wind noise, unless the throttle position could affect it :) I'll try the intake horn though. Might even throw an air filter replacement in - though it looks good. FWIW - I had all kinds of wind noise around the windshield moldings, it's stuffed full of black rope caulk now.

    Odd Whine between 60 and 65 mph

    No idea - but I have something similar... and the same hearing issues !!!! Mine sounds like the same area, but I can get it to come and go with slightly different throttle positions. Checked for vacuum leaks, air leaks on the air filter - intake tube. I also thought at 1st it might be a...

    Aux driving lights (High beam wire location?)

    You could catch the high beam under the dash, use a double pole switch if you wanted to run the aux. lights separately, then only need one thin (22 ga or smaller) hot wire to fire the relay. Also works easier if using an illuminated switch or pilot light. Not a fan of switched grounds :)

    Aluminum wheels finish maintenance and repair

    I did all 5 2 years ago using the Duracoat wheel paint, clear coat and proper etching primer, under 75$ for supplies. I started by sandblasting the 1st one or 2, then realized that what looked like degradation of the aluminum was just in the clear and the metal was fine. I then sanded off the...

    More news in regards to those recalls

    2005 KJ full cargo liner

    I've never seen a full one. I have a some type, but it's been 6 years and would need to look for a name :) What I do when the need arises is throw a blue tarp over it. I also always carry a roll up blanket/tarp/picnic blanket "thingy". If I have too I can use it.

    More news in regards to those recalls

    Fiat is now offering Libby owners $100 bucks to get the trailer hitch recall done. Now I have an excuse to get my hitch washed :) Some type of Visa use anywhere card - still have not seen the details. Glad I waited, wonder if I wait another 6 months it will be $200?

    How to start with broken ignition.

    I heard the pistons are cast aluminum also. What tools do I need and do I need just one spare, or six? /s

    Outer Banks Fishing Mods

    FWIW - I'm in Ohio, but have been to OBX a few times. Did 55 miles one day up North in the "horse area". I have OME springs and shocks and Yokohama tires. Ran the tires at 18 lbs and it was like a tank. I have tons of off road experience in various vehicles going back to a 74 Bronco, but...
