Better late than never.......
It was very easy.... To explain better, I've changed the diff oil on my old SFA Toyota pickup a few times, and "BOTH" axles had drain & fill plugs. I've changed the diff oil on military surplus M-35's many times, and they all have drain & fill plugs. I looked at the manual before doing this...- SurfGuitar141

Jeep owner's style of modification....
I agree there really should be more categories, but I was trying to keep it simple, and also open to other models of Jeeps. What got me started on this was standing in the parking lot of the local hardware store this morning, I parked next to a stock earlier model Renegade, a few spaces over...- SurfGuitar141

Better late than never.......
I've gained so much information concerning my Jeep Liberty tolling this, and one other forum, it's amazing how much I did not know about this vehicle until recently. Just the other day I happened on a thread that discussed changing the differential oil in the axles, and it indicated it should...- SurfGuitar141

In 3 years my wife's car will be paid off, and I'll be selling or trading in the Renegade for either a JT pickup assuming Jeep goes to production with it, or more likely a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.....- SurfGuitar141

Jeep owner's style of modification....
Over the last several weeks I've been paying close attention to how different Jeep owner's modify their vehicles. Not just Liberty's, but also Wrangler's, Cherokee's, Grand Cherokee's, and Commanders. I've come up with 6 categories I believe covers every general style class from stock to...- SurfGuitar141

Synthetic Oil
I purchased my '05 KJ new, changed the factory oil at 3,000 miles to Mobile1, and have always used high grade filters. With the synthetic I push my oil changes to every 5,000 miles and no problems at all. My next change is just a couple hundred miles away, and I will be using the Castrol...- SurfGuitar141

Since I'm only keeping my '05 Renegade for another 3 years, and have done most of what I wanted to it already, my list is modest..... K&N cold air intake kit...(will probably get for my birthday next month) General Grabber AT2's 245/75-16....(will probably get with retirement bonus money...- SurfGuitar141

Trying to decide which new tires
The General Grabber AT2's are a real popular tire around here...(South Jersey)....a lot of people run up to the Pocono mountains on a regular basis to go skiing, and do it on those tires. I've also been seeing them on the beach a lot more on 4 X 4's that used to run either Goodyear or BFG's...- SurfGuitar141

Ryan's Jeep Wrecking Yard Discovery
That "Cash for Clunkers" program has to be the biggest government run scam in American history..... Prior to the program the Ford Focus was selling between $3,000.00 to $3,500.00 less, after the program started, they were selling for that much more, so there went almost your entire trade-in...- SurfGuitar141

Thanks Moab, lately I've been paying close attention to the rims on other KJ's, and the '04 to '06 Renegade rims really do look better than most others....

Help "Renegade" identify center cap 2005 wheel
That's the mistake I made with mine, the first 4 years of owning my '05 Renegade I didn't do a very good job of keeping up on maintenance. I had an issue with my rear brakes dragging and the dust and rust contaminated the finish on my back rims. This is the reason why I was thinking about...- SurfGuitar141

Before your KJ???
I could of had a 1970 full size C-20 with a V-8, but it was rode hard and put away wet, the '71 was in real good condition with only 35,000 miles on it. It had the 3 on the tree shifter that immediately went to the floor with a Hurst shifter kit, I also put Clifford Research inline 6 headers on...- SurfGuitar141

Custom Intake?
I put a K&N in the stock box, and also cut the box to open it up. I believe a good quality K&N cold air intake kit would be an advantage as it comes with a shield to block engine heat. There are cheaper alternatives offered on eBay with chrome piping connected to a K&N cone filter, but those...- SurfGuitar141

Before your KJ???
Before my '05 Liberty Renegade I drove a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4 X 4 with an 8' bed.... Before that was a '97 Ford F-150 4 X 4 extended cab with a 6.5' bed.... Before that was a 1985 Toyota 4 X 4...(22R engine, SFA with manual lockers, 4 speed manual tranny)...(totaled in a rear end...- SurfGuitar141

One Jeep you wish you had other than the KJ
04Liberty..... There was one of those Jeepsters that drove around my home town many years ago, if memory serves me right it was light green and black...(same paint scheme as the one in your photo)....

Hyper Miling question.
I went from a Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab, full size bed 4 X 4 that got 2 telephone poles to the gallon..... with my Liberty, in my mind anyway, I'm getting great mileage, so much so that it's not a concern.... The only noticeable increase I've experienced since buying this Jeep has been when I...- SurfGuitar141
