    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The shop wanted to charge me $13.00 per plug and $28.00 per plug installation. Just the plugs! The coil packs were priced separately for parts and installation. Heck, I may not even need a tune...I get 19.4mpg city and 23.8 hwy in FT 4WD.

    High mileage club

    2003 Limited Edition, 113,000 miles. Had the A/C system replaced today. I've only owned for a few weeks, but it had complete service records with it when I got it and was maintained according to manufacturer specs.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    OK, I did get the A/C system replaced and an alignment done. The tune-up didn't happen....I was quoted a price Saturday of ~$100 for a tune-up. Today, however, was a different story....$689 for a basic tune-up (plugs, coil packs, and fuel injector cleaning)!!! Really??? I'm not a mechanic and...

    ham radio mounting suggestions?

    Glad you got it worked out. Right now, I'm just using a 5W H/T with an external antenna in the Jeep. Still haven't decided on just how I want to mount the Kenwood TM-271A. I may just buy another radio that has head separation capability.

    Yesterday, I took the Libby on a 210 mile round trip to visit a couple of my daughters and their families (I have 4 daughters). On the return trip, at about the halfway point (55 miles from home), I suddenly get a strong odor from the vents. The odor smelled like rubber burning. My first...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I cleaned all of the bird poop off my KJ. No garage or carport and have to park under tree branches. Looks like it may be time to invest in a good cover. Aah, such is life.

    How did you first find your KJ?

    I know that I'm reviving an old thread, but found it quite interesting and still pertinent for us newbies. My wife needed another vehicle. Her '04 Explorer was getting to be a money pit at 190k miles. Went to a local Chrysler/Jeep dealer used lot and found her a nice '11 Ford Edge with only 48k...

    Another Newbie

    Hi all. I recently obtained my first Jeep, 2003 Liberty Limited 4x4 with 112k miles. Mechanic says she's sound. Only issue found during an extensive check-up was a damp boot on the rack & pinion. She purrs like a kitten on the asphalt. I know very little about Jeeps in general and even...
