I came across that a couple of times in researching the problem. Never saw a follow up, but I suspect that whenever this has happened, the rollover valve became stuck again before too long. The whole thing just reinforces my theory that corn is useless.- ol-flattop

Window Slid down when door was shut.
Bingo. That's because Jeep's is injection molded plastic, whereas the part sold on autoandart (like it's predecessor from Steiger Performance) is made of steel. My KJ is also an '06, and I also replaced the one on the right rear regulator. Fit like it was made for it. Because it was. In the...- ol-flattop

Meh. I guess I agree with pretty much very thing you've said, but you left some important concerns out. First, while a narrower tire does better on snow, increasing inflation will only narrow the contact patch a small amount - most of the difference will be will be in its length. On top...- ol-flattop

Window Slid down when door was shut.
Sorta, but it's very easy. Aside from basic hand tools, the kit comes with everything you need, including detailed instructions. You won't be replacing the whole regulator, just the part that failed (hence the low price). If I remember right, you just have to remove a rivet or two, which you'll...- ol-flattop

Save your money. Here's what you need (assuming your KJ is an 02-06 - if not, just find the correct year on that website). When mine went out, I just went ahead and bought a kit - one for each door. They're all likely to fail, so I'm prepared for when they do.- ol-flattop

TPMS Questions
That's what I would expect as well - the only reason I have to second guess that presumption is that line on the build sheet. If it's standard on each and every KJ regardless of options, why is there a separate line item for that specific feature?:shrug: Ha. Two weeks after I bought my KJ...- ol-flattop

Rear Gate -Glass Lift Shocks
You're telling me the rear glass should lift up ON ITS OWN?? I had no freaking idea.:happy175: Well, there's a nice surprise. Looks like a trip to RockAuto for Monroe replacement shocks for me sometime soon!- ol-flattop

MPG drop
Just a rough calculation to illustrate. The relationship isn't totally linear, and we'll have to disregard specific tire types and characteristics for the sake of a simple comparison. Let's say curb weight is 4000 lbs (a bit low, but close). That's 1000 lbs per tire (again, disregarding the...- ol-flattop

TPMS Questions
I don't know the VIN code; I would suggest getting a build sheet to find out, but when I checked mine for it (I do have the sensors), it wasn't totally clear. It mentions 'LABS Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning LP', but given that it's in the section with lamps, not the wheels and tires, I...- ol-flattop

HOW TO: fix the KJ fuel burp plague!
It does not. This fix is for those of us with the exact opposite problem:icon_lol: Your question opens up an interesting topic, though.

MPG drop
You're right that the door sticker isn't the authoritative source for best tire pressure to run (except on OEM tires, I'd argue), but carelessly adding more air is an invitation to a couple problems. Sure, it'll decrease rolling resistance, but it will also change the contact patch. This may...- ol-flattop

HOW TO: fix the KJ fuel burp plague!
Not sure how to read 'at least on my KJ...' Does another of your vehicles have the issue? If so, the principle of this fix might very well be applicable there, too. The GM hose was, after all, created as a retrofit to solve this same problem on some GM vehicles. Oh, it's just a little...- ol-flattop

A fix for fuel burp issue on 2006 liberty
Sorry to bombard the board with related posts, but I figure at least a couple people searching might land on this thread without finding the others. I just posted a detailed write-up of this fix in the how-to section. I hope this helps all those who suffer from KJ spit-up syndrome.- ol-flattop

HOW TO: fix the KJ fuel burp plague!
Part 2 8. Now that you have access from the wheelhouse side, you need to get access to the hose’s connection to the fuel tank. If you have a fuel tank skid plate, you’ll have to remove it. This is the first time I’ve been glad my KJ has no skids. 9. With your access portal opened up, you...- ol-flattop

HOW TO: fix the KJ fuel burp plague!
Yesterday evening, fueled by turkey, taters, cranberry sauce, and delicious homemade pies of every sort, I finally tackled the fuel burp issue that has plagued my KJ since I bought it. One Liberty write-up has been done, but it was pretty abstract and didn't get much attention. So, since...- ol-flattop

Windshield replacement?
Never had any issues with windshields, until I got 0-deductible glass coverage. Within a couple weeks, a chunk of flying debris wrecked my windshield, and I had to get it replaced. My brother-in-law did the same thing - same company, same plan, signed up and almost immediately some doofus...- ol-flattop

Funny I didn't see this before.
