    Broke down... I'm guessing bad water pump

    Sorry to hear about your KJ. If it makes you feel any better, my current car (it's not dead yet!...woohoo!...lol) has had so many parts blow up/crap out in the past 2 years, it's not even funny. The past two years have seen: 1 radiator 2 alternators 5 sets of brakes (ouch!....mostly shoddy...

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    I'm really excited about the 6-speed. I've done most of my manual tranny driving on the BF's 5-speed TJ, and apparently, I'll have a decent getting-used-to-it period with a 6. I had the same feeling on the auto tranny, too. I have nothing against an automatic, though. Every car I've owned so far...

    Opinions Needed - XM or Sirius?

    Not sure if you all know about this site, but www.xm411.com has an interactive channel listing thingy that tells you what's on all the channels all the time. Pretty handy if you listen to it at your desk, like me. =)

    Hi

    I looked really hard at a Mazda 6i before I ordered my Libby. Not to bash Mazda or anything, but I wasn't particularly impressed and was actually rather underwhelmed with the 6i after a test drive. To me, the engine seemed horribly underpowered and really lagged getting on the highway. The...

    This week on "Daimler Chrysler's Wild Ohio: Hunt for the Jeep Liberty", Day 18 - The expedition discovers the Jeepicus Libertii has progressed forward to the build stage, slated for an April 2 build date. This has created quite some excitement in the camp, celebrated by a traditional tribal...

    Opinions Needed - XM or Sirius?

    Just activated my SkyFi2. Love it! I'm really grooving on this whole TuneSelect feature, it notifies you when your favortie artists/songs are on. Great idea! =D>

    KJ's not worthy of Jeep label....

    I really liked the original quote.....stupid BF...I'm too much of a peacemaker..lol. I'm game for making the NE logo gear. I think we should offer a tank top for the chicks! Think about it, Jeeps and chicks in cute little white tank tops, how much better does it get? \:D/

    KJ's not worthy of Jeep label....

    On the LOST NE board, we're talking about getting T-shirts that say "That's OK, we don't like you either" on the back...lol.

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    Ok, no nature show today, sorry. Called Chrysler this morning, and still no more progress has been made since last week. Actually, nothing has happened since 2/28. I'm kinda sad. It seems like it is gonna take the whole 8 weeks for my KJ to get here. Figures. I'm now 90% certain my current car...

    KJ's not worthy of Jeep label....

    Yeah, so I'm finding! Thinking back on my previous post, I'd also like to state for the record that I have nothing against mods on a vehicle. Bennett and SilverLib's KJs, among others, are incredibly awesome! =D> (Something for my little stocker to aspire to when she gets here!) Guess I just...

    KJ's not worthy of Jeep label....

    Wow, gotta apologize for this rant, guys. I think it was inspired by reading one too many JU posts....lol. Sorry again.

    KJ's not worthy of Jeep label....

    This right here proves he's missing the point entirely. It's not always about who can drive up 90-degree wall or who can drive over a rock the size of Mt. Everest. Some of us just plain want more utility than a rig like a "real" (in their opinion) Jeep would be able to offer. What he's missing...

    Gear ratio questions....

    Thanks grogie! Makes sense to my head now! (My inner geek thanks you...hehe.)

    Gear ratio questions....

    Ok, I'll just say right up fron that I'm basically an idiot when it comes to most technical stuff associated with cars in general nevermind a KJ. I'm curious about how a gear ratio works and what the numbers really mean. According to Jeep.com: "A numerically lower axle ratio results in lower...

    Thank you, thank you! I couldn't have done it without my incredible crew and staff! (lol)

    On the trail of the elusive Jeepicus Libertii - Day 12 No further progress to report, unfortunately. frown.gif The person I talked to today told me pretty much the exact same thing as I was told on Thursday. Just gotta try to be patient, I guess. This is getting tougher by the day! "Stay...

    Opinions Needed - XM or Sirius?

    Ok, so I got all my XM stuff today. I ordered it all off Ebay. Ended up going with the Delphi SkyFi 2, the car kit, and the home kit, all nicely bundled up and shipped 2 day express to my door for $175. Not too shabby, IMO, considering it wold have been about $250 to get it all retail around...

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    Ok, here's what I found for Chrysler exec emails. Figured I'd just post it here so everybody can copy them down if they want them. Unfortunately, I have no clue what site I got it from, but I do have the info saved in a Word file if anyone needs or would like it that way...
