LSD for KJ -- any suggestions
AFAIK a LS will have these two net results. Either neither tire will spin or both tires will spin. If you're going gently on the throttle, the torque will be distributed in an effort to keep the wheels from spinning, however dump huge torque to the axle and you'll get both wheels spinning. The...- 4Factor

Convential Oil, who uses what?
Dude, if you used the money to buy real estate instead then you were spending WAY too much on oil. \:D/ I mean I thought my oil changes were expensive, but even my best-buddy who's a mortgage broker told me that my $320 per year isn't enough for a downpayment on anything except an outhouse...- 4Factor

Ordered '05 Renegade
This info is gold! As much as they assure you that they could not ever make a mistake, get a copy of the exact invoice. Not just the dealership's scrawlings on a piece of paper... the actual build invoice that the factory has received! This will assure you that the vehicle being built by the...- 4Factor

Convential Oil, who uses what?
From what I've read, the Fram filters (even the doubleguard) are crappy, I used to use them on my neon but have switched recently now that I have the KJ (now I buy Mopar filters for the neon too... out of convenience). Some tests have shown the Fram to be the worst out there, something about...- 4Factor

Two things that I try to avoid doing with my KJ
Funny thing about that video of the offset frontal crash. If you look closely at the end few frames, it appears the front driver's tire/wheel would probably be salvageable from that wreck (you'd have to check the bead on the tire), but pay attention to the rear driver's tire/wheel. The impact...- 4Factor

Cargo area mats
One thing to note is the cargo tie-downs (the little metal loops anchored to the floor of the cargo area). Most cargo mats are solid and the only way you'll be able to use the tie-downs later is to remove the mat. The Mopar one is the ONLY one (so far) that's different, it has little raised...- 4Factor

Your favorite year for the Lib.
The 45 was a bigger tranny all around, and apparently was a tougher tranny (I have no actual proof of this, it's just what I've heard 2nd hand). If you got an 02 or early 03 automatic, you would have received the 45, and with towing or offroad packages you would have even received a tranny...- 4Factor

Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?
It's too bad that the guy wasn't even willing to look at the vehicle and acknowledge your suggestions. I always give my suggestions to my mechanic, and often we discuss the problems. Sometimes I'm on the right track, other times I'm way off. When I'm off track, it's nice to have an explanation...- 4Factor

Your favorite year for the Lib.
If I had to buy a used one I would start by looking for an 02 or 03. The 03 has the slight edge IMO, so I'd be looking for this exact build... 2003 built before July 01, 2003. Here's my reasons for this exact one 1. Beefier transmission (smaller tranny after July 01, 2003) 2. Like the style of...- 4Factor

Boulderbars or Rockrails?
Rockrails $259.00 1/4" thick walled steel. Boulderbars $279.95 3/16" thick walled steel. Now I'm a firm believer in the "you get what you paid for" mentality. But I've still convinced myself that the Rockrails are the better bang for the buck. The only thing that would change my mind is if...- 4Factor

Dealer trying to sell me brakes
Here's one to add to your "Firestone...never again" file. Took my 1997 neon into a Firestone dealer for the usual oil change. These were the same guys that had done quite a few mods to my ride without hassle, we had that thing doing 14.8 in the 1/4 (normally aspirated) with a computer, intake...- 4Factor

Slow speed hiccup
I see you have an auto 4x4 so I'll discount the "5spd lurch" but my next thought is whether you had it in 4WD. I'm taking a stab in the dark, that you had it in Part-time 4WD and the lurching was the transfer case binding/unbinding.- 4Factor

Great Day
I was ready for winter to be over quite a while ago. I dunno why but I can't seem to get into winter this year like I have in the past, I used to like winter so much. Even last year in the first winter of home ownership, I enjoyed staying out for a few hours doing winter stuff around the house...- 4Factor

rude post from JU
Something tells me the thread has been edited. There's only 10 messages in the entire thread, and there's hardly any trace of flaming. I guess I got there after the mods pruned it.- 4Factor

Dealer trying to sell me brakes
Unless you're having problems with them, I wouldn't even think about brakes until around 40,000 kms (~25k miles). Then I'd expect that all's I need to do is take a look at them and estimate when they'll need replacing. For example if they're 75% gone then maybe 50k kms (~30k miles) will be all...- 4Factor

Great Day
The Northern version... Yes I live in Canada but its been pretty cold and snowy this past week. I woke up this morning to some beautiful arctic air and the first thing on my mind was starting the KJ. Unplugged the block heater and gave the windows a good scrape, kicked the snow off from behind...- 4Factor

Ghetto Liberty
Ugghh... I've always hated the look of two-tone paint. (blarg) Other things I don't like 1. Ditched the spare. No roof rack so spare has to go inside when going on trail runs and takes up valuable space. 2. New location of the licence plate. Why not just make it a flashing neon sign... it's WAY...- 4Factor

I took one from the dealership on the day we picked up the Liberty. I stuck it in the pocket on the back of the passengers seat.
