    What did you do to your jeep today?

    man, I've been seeing a lot of posts about "heater issues" on here lately...really hoping it's just because winter is coming and people are turning on the heat after not using it for a season, and not one of those "we're all going to have the same problem at once times" lol

    Grinding Grinding HELP

    Front gearbox, as in front differential? You may have stripped the gears. Try replacing the front diff oil and see if you have alot of metal shards, or open the fill hole and dig around in there with a magnet and see what you pull out. It could also be front driveshaft CV, or your front axle...

    Really Disappointed with Hellas

    KJer's from the Northeast?

    The part of CT I'm in is alright for gas, but I was just in Long Island for a wedding over the weekend...ridiculous. Not only are people waiting in line for gas, they're parking and leaving their cars in line for days because they heard a truck is coming sometime soon with gas. I brought 10...

    Front driveshaft

    O, it was in a vice, with a crowbar, sledge, even rigged up a hydraulic jack against it to make a ghetto press of sorts. It was not coming off. Didn't wanna go too crazy on it because the last thing I wanted to do was wreck the driveshaft. Normally, I don't think it should be a prob to get off...

    Front driveshaft

    Yeah, pretty easy. The only issue I had was getting the old CV off the driveshaft. Typically, it should slide off after you remove the retaining clip inside the CV, but mine was really rusted on there. I ended up bringing it to a local shop...guy charged me $20, took off the old CV and...

    What is the widest tire for stock suspension.

    mine is 225/75r16 with 235/70r16 as a second stock option. I have an '06 though. Possible that the stock size for '02-'03 changed for the '04-'07 KJ's. Regarding all the suspension talk. I wouldn't necessarily trust the dealer as to the condition of the suspension. I bought mine certified...

    Subs vs. Light Bar...

    Yea Dynamat is great stuff. Before my jeep days, I had an eclipse with a 5000watt competition quality system in it...I'm sure you can imagine I had rattles coming from all over the place. I ripped apart the doors and dynamatted, did the backsides of my license plates...basically went through...

    Actual Lift Amount - Lets Compare Fender Heights

    Definitely does! I love it. I was at a parts store last night picking up a few things and the kid at the counter came out to look at my jeep...If you remember a while ago I said I had never seen a lifted Liberty near me before. Well apparently neither had he because he goes "Dude, is this...

    What is the widest tire for stock suspension.

    Your speedometer is probably off a little right now because 215/75 isn't the stock size, 225/75 is...slightly bigger tire 29.29" vs. 28.69". A 235/75 will be 29.88" it will change the speedometer from what you have now, but I wouldn't worry about it. If you're really concerned with it, run a...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I put on new plates after wasting 4 hours of my life at the DMV, where for some reason all of the dregs of society seem to congregate. $260...ridiculous Also, got my hellas working again last night.

    What is the widest tire for stock suspension.

    if you're not going to do any work to the suspension, I would stay with a stock size. Either 235/70-r16 or 225/75-r16. Assuming you still have the original suspension, it is definitely sagging by now, at least 1" probably closer to 2". So if you don't want to worry about rubbing, at least get...

    What load range are you using?

    I'm still undecided, but think I'm leaning towards E. I use it for my daily driver with off-road on the weekends or whenever I see an opportunity to explore. E seems like it provides more psi flexibility. I don't really care about road noise, doesn't bother me, but I do care about sidewall...

    Really Disappointed with Hellas

    I'm using the hellas as on-road aux driving lights, so I don't want something I'm going to get tickets with....but when it comes to off-road lights, I'll definitely check out the LED stuff. update: I talked to the place I bought the lights from last week. Because they fogged up and are under...
