    What did you do to your jeep today?

    About a year ago and there were feral cats all over the compound I was living on. They're good with the baby mambas (no joke in the rainy season) and can dispatch them with relative ease. My dog loved to chase the cats around the yard but she's a dachshund mix and they were all way too quick...

    Iron Rock Rear A-arm

    Don't know why you couldn't clean the anti-seize with some kind of solvent and revisit it. One thing we learned the hard way was don't get distracted when you're using the loctite. It doesn't take more than 10 minutes before it starts to set and if things aren't just where you want them...

    That's a great color, Tom.

    Iron Rock Rear A-arm

    Took the previously already replaced A-Arm off. The bracket literally was twisted to one side and the joints completely shot. Might as well burn your cash if you're going to buy some other cheap junk. Not at all so with this. Difference in the ride immediately apparent. No clunking and the...

    HOW TO: Bump Stops - Front & Rear Replacement

    Looks like those rear bumpstops had a blow torch taken to them! Great pictures.

    Ball Joints/ Control Arms

    Wasn't there a recall on the rear lower control arms depending on where your Jeep was from? Might pay to at least look that one up.

    Check engine light

    I had this issue with a locking gas cap. Replaced it with OEM non-locking and it went away. Who knows (rhetorically)? The OBD2 readers aren't necessarily expensive. You can pick up an Autel on Amazon for as little as $20 or a Bluedriver that links to your phone for as much as $120. Me, I'm...

    Winch mount on stock bumper.

    Prowling around, I found this. Can't neccessarily vouch for it though; no personal experience. https://jeepmania.eu/en/winch-mount-plates/9669-winch-mount-plate-2002-2008-jeep-liberty-cherokee-kj.html All said and done, and if you have the money, I'm inclined to agree with TomMudd and marjsyd.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I do, but I'm really not sure how to tell the difference. If you have any hints? It's a nice finish regardless.

    250A Alternator?

    I'd very much like to see that if you're willing. I've hesitated on the second battery mainly because of the size thing. There's not a lot of spare space either under the hood or behind the rear seat. My better half and I are "retiring" in four months and settling down in the low desert in...

    250A Alternator?

    What did you choose for an isolator for the battery in the back, Insane? Mechanical or electronic?

    250A Alternator?

    I have a 285 amp alternator I got from Singer that's worked for me. It took a bit to get it, but as long as you're in no rush, I think it was worth the small wait. As you can see by Insane's pix, you'll likely be installing a couple of busbars (grounding and power), 1/0 cable and a big fat...

    Can it be done?

    No matter whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. A great Henry Ford quote I love that doesn’t really fit as it kinda ignores the cost of “think you can”. On some level everything I try with this Liberty is kinda ball-b*llbusting and yet worthwhile and I still keep...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I recommend a wooden wedge (like a door stop shape) jammed between the inside of the window and the door. A neater appearance and works just as well.

    Cat back exhaust

    This wasn't recently, but I was able to pick up a Magnaflow catback a year ago for half of list-price on Amazon using camelcamelcamel. It did take 6 months of watching and waiting though!
