    msd ignition is it worth it?

    FYI - even if you could get MSD -- it's a fix for a problem - if you're not having a problem then the MSD by itself won't help anything. Most of the problem are higher than stock RPM, or compression pressure or NOS.

    Jeep Starts but Dies Immediately

    FYI - the newer Jeeps are different - the battery has to have enough voltage to turn on the computer - enough current to turn the starter isn't enough. on older cars & Jeeps - if you could get it started, the alternator would have enough to keep it going - not so these days.

    CRD springs on a Gasser

    The CRD coils have a thicker wire - to get the higher spring rate - length is the same (they'll give some lift just because they don't compress as much)

    Compressing OME Springs.

    I used these - for CRD coils (400 lbs/inch) and OME 790's (500lbs/inch) I ordered them through Advance Auto http://www.amprotools.net/Product_List.aspx?productid=754&partnerid=32&categoryid=5&mode=show

    New 06 Liberty Owner - Tire Q...

    As to the original question about mileage - pressure will make a difference, but you should also look at a general tuneup - including running Seafoam though the engine and putting new plugs, air filter and all oil changes. (general principle used car stuff)

    New 06 Liberty Owner - Tire Q...

    a 225/70 would be an unusual size - stock - they normally come 225/75 and 235/70 so it's smaller than stock - so 1st off your odometer is further off than normal - and it wasn't accurate to begin with. (235/75 would also be unusual) 225/70/16 - 28.5 tall 225/75/16 - 29.4 235/70/16 - 29.1...

    those that have MOABS...help

    The 16's used on the 03-06 will bolt on no problem (I think the BS is 5? vs a 4.5 on a 7" stock) 4.5" bolt circle the 17's used on the 07->up will not fit without an adaptor. 5" bolt circle The one thing you really need to consider is that most tires people want to run (235,245) fit a 7" rim...

    2005 won't start??

    original battery? - about time for it to die - and on Jeep's the voltage has to be right to turn on the computer - you can actually crank the engine and not have the computer on and it won't start - or if you Jump it - it won't stay on.

    Lift the Ladies Mall Crawler

    The CRD is probably worst case - the springs are stronger - and they get that way from thicker wire in the coil - so there's a lot less space before you hit metal to metal. It was never obvious that it was happening - but when I pulled them out to put in the OME and it gained height - and it was...

    Lift the Ladies Mall Crawler

    Hockey pucks are for the rears - they keep the springs from falling out when extended - however I'm not sure they work with the Daystar rear. What I'm concerned about is the front - I had Daystar for 30k mile and I'm sure I caused the front springs to sag by not having long enough bumpstops -...

    Lift the Ladies Mall Crawler

    Yep - works fine you can even go offroading - All-J's has them on sale for $155 I'd still recommend you add the extended bumpstops.

    Need advice on rim size.

    Virtually any tire that will fit under a Liberty will be better on a 7" rim than an 8" - check Tirerack's recommended rim sizes - the 8" are really better for 265 and wider. not sure about the backspacing - I'm thinking 4"

    How much rubbing will I get with 245/75/16 BFG AT's w/o any lift?

    4x2 vs 4x4. Need Help

    It's not about terms - it's about sales. in Texas they probably sell 5 or 10 2wd Jeeps for every 4wd - if you want 4wd - you have to search for them. and on 4wd's - it's not unusual to find a 4-5 year old one that's never been put into 4wd. ( that includes used Rubicons - I never understood...

    This is how much money I can expect to pay for OME Coil Springs,etc.

    I guess it still needs a REAL nickname...

    Jeep looks good -- I wish I could have gotten a manual. also - the tire cover as a warning to tailgaters - presumes that they can or will read, I'm not sure that assumption is warranted. as to your thread title - I've always assumed 'Jeep' was a name, however in a multiple Jeep household - you...

    Where can I find this?

    The photo you have is a offical Jeep accessory Brush guard from 05 - doesn't appear to be on the new websites - you might check Ebay. Although personally http://www.boulderbars.com/kjproducts.htm

    Petrol in a CRD

    Actually - the CRD's were designed under the assumption that this would happen. so dump the tank - change the filter and it'll probably run rough as it clears the residue. I think MrMopar said they could run on about 20-30% gas
