    245/75r16 Rubbing Issues

    good to know, thanks. So looks like I'll just do the pinch weld before I get the tires...hopefully I can get by with minimal modifications after that.

    245/75r16 Rubbing Issues

    I'm looking into getting my new tires soon...wish I had them now with the 24"+ of snow on the ground that's still coming down. Right now I'm sitting at about 21" in the front, a little higher in the back. I want to do 245/75r16 Duratracs, but wondering if I'll have rubbing issues. Will I...

    Big storm for Northeast

    Fortunately, my job sends us home if the state closes the roads, which happened this afternoon. (I put in my notice last week, so not like I would stay anyway) My dad used to work for Northeast Utilities and have to go out on storm duty...He would basically drive around during storms and look...

    Big storm for Northeast

    Have fun! I used to live up in Malden. Loved taking the KJ out as soon as it snowed before the plows touched anything.

    New KJ owner from NH

    Welcome fellow New England '06 KJ person! There's a ton of great info/ideas on here. As far as your 4wd, you have 2hi, 4hi, 4lo and N positions on your transfer case lever...some will also have a full-time selection as well. Normal driving on pavement or similar high traction surfaces, always...

    Front Axle No 4WD

    sounds like a front diff to me...maybe she stripped the gears...open the fill hole on the front diff and try sticking a magnet down in there, and of course be very careful not to drop the magnet in...should go without saying, but you'd be surprised. see if you can pull out any metal shards or...

    Heater Core? What to check / costs?

    Yeah, a good shop should flush out everything well, including heater core... Here's a sticky on HOAT: http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f196/i-have-ask-why-hoat-not-reg-antifreeze-50273/

    Heater Core? What to check / costs?

    They'll flush the entire coolant system. It's probably a good idea anyway because who knows if it has ever been done by the previous owner, or if they added incorrect coolant at some point etc. Usually a bunch of crap comes out of the heater core. It's really easy to do yourself, I probably...

    Heater Core? What to check / costs?

    Did they at least tried to flush the heater core before just saying it needs to be replaced?

    made my day

    I wonder if Jiffy Lube gets a tax credit for hiring the mentally challenged...you know kinda like the walmart greeter people. Remember when they had stickers, I miss that. :whymewhyme:

    crashed the work van

    Yup, that's what corporate insurance is for. We had a guy at my work hydroplane into a guardrail...then as they're walking around the car looking at the damage the other guy with him yells "run!" and a girl does the exact same thing, hydroplanes right into the back of their wrecked car. Glad...

    2014 Jeep Cherokee Pics

    what...you don't want an airbag as your suspension?? but it's so cool you can raise and lower it whenever you want, just like when we were back in the ghetto with our hydraulic lowriders! ...oops a stick popped it. It's a damn shame...on the one hand it's what most people want, and I...

    made my day

    I think you're giving him a little too much credit...more like ok, just put in "pink stuff" for everything, and let's see, some green stuff...and Sunny D!! alright!! :happy175:

    KK vs MK

    I've rode in the patriot a few times, never driven one...but from what I could tell riding in it, it seemed to be very underpowered. I think you would especially notice it if you went from the 3.7L KJ to that. I've never been in a compass, but have a friend who has one. She likes it, but says...

    new owner looking for local shop in central MA

    Welcome fellow New Englander...I used to live just north of Boston, but I never had to use a shop for anything in MA. I'm back in CT now, and know of a decent place here though. Not sure how far you're willing to travel, but here's their website. They're probably about an hour from Worcester...

    want to lift my first car. i think?

    I agree. High end pioneer is good, but most of their stuff is mediocre at best. And sony xplod is just garbage. There is definitely better stuff out there than Alpine as well...but if you're on a budget, I think Alpine makes some great stuff for a decent price.

    Heater Control Lights

    One of my heater control lights burned out last night. I stopped by Advance on my way home to see if they have a replacement bulb but they don't carry anything. They said it may be a dealer part, or I may need to replace the entire heater control panel. Anyone have to do this before and...
