    What's the big deal about 4.10's?

    For starters, my Jeep came with 4.10's from the factory (as part of the towing package.) I know for a fact it has this gear ratio because it specifically states so on the spec sheet. Anyhow, why is it so many people desire to have 4.10's? Is it for off-roading or towing purposes? If it's...

    4.7 V8 II into My KJ

    IIRC, he did the swap because he wanted gear-driven cams and didn't care for the VTEC. I've got a VTEC myself and if it were up to me, all 16 valves would be operational at all times. However, the 6th generation VFR looks a heck of a lot better than the dated-looking 5th generation.

    4.7 V8 II into My KJ

    The stock tranny in my '03 KJ is an 45RFE. IIRC, Jeep used more than one type of automatic tranny on KJ's and the one I've got is considered the better one because it's the same tranny Dodge uses in some of their pickup's (and is therefore stronger.) Find out which tranny you've got and then...

    What normally causes the spider gears to need replacing?

    IIRC, they were larger than fine, metal shavings. However, they certainly weren't "chunks" by any means. I didn't notice anything wrong with the way my KJ was driving. I had the drivetrain serviced simply because the dealership gave me a 90 day warranty and I figured if any repairs were...

    What normally causes the spider gears to need replacing?

    I bought my '03 KJ about 10 months ago (with about 48k miles) and immediately had the transmission, transfer case, and the front and rear differentials serviced. The mechanic called me over and showed me some metal shavings from the rear differential that he said came from the spider gears...

    Dealer Recommended Schedule

    Wanna know what I can't figure out? Before my Libby, I had a '98 Jeep Cherokee Sport (2WD). Since it didn't come with the towing package, my guess is it didn't have a heavy duty radiator or cooling system. Anyway, I had the coolant service done at 48k miles. I was supposed to do it again...

    Please explain the various types of differentials to me.

    Doesn't the Renny have some sort of locker? If so, is it in the rear or front & rear differentials? Is a locker the same thing as posi-trac? Also, how can I tell what kind I've got? There's a green sticker going around the rear left axle housing but it looks like part of the sticker got...

    Will this radio fit my KJ?

    Indeed it fits! It took about 10 minutes to do the swap. Thanks to forum member Scott (GA05SPORT) for selling me his stock radio. I plan on upgrading some time in the future, but right now I just needed to get the music going again.

    Front Tint Strip Photo's???

    I don't mean to hijack the thread here, but since he's already got the pics he requested, can you post some pics of your splash guards / mud flaps? (a few angles if possible.) They look really good.

    16 inch rims off a 96 Jeep Grand Cheeroke - will they work on my 05 KJ sport?

    Here's what someone on another forum said regarding which Jeep wheels fit on a KJ: Here is some info I stated on an earlier post regarding various Jeep wheels that fit on the Liberty. Remember you have a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. They include wheels from the Wrangler, Cherokee and the ZJ...

    Will this radio fit my KJ?

    The stock radio in my '03 KJ Limited stopped working and nothing I've tried can get it working again. According to the build sheet, here's what I've got: Radio - AM/FM Cass/CD/Equal/Chgr Ctrl Audio Ctrls - Steering Wheel Mounted Speakers - Six, Premium Infinity Here's a picture of it...

    Center caps and solid, one-piece lug nuts

    Thanks for the offer. $30 per cap is better than the price I got at the dealership. Would you believe they want $48 per cap? You read that right: $48 for each plastic cap. See these caps on eBay? This is more or less the price I'm looking to pay. The problem with these, however, is...

    Craigslist find: '04 KJ for $1

    on parts of it, it looks like somebody got a blow torch and literally started cutting pieces out.

    ***PICS*** Check out my new rims & tires.

    You got it. I'm searching for some now. As for the rims, would you believe I got all five on eBay for $375 including shipping? Four of them were brand new (the guy tried them on his car, they didn't fit, and then put them on eBay. No joke.) The other one wasn't new, but it's in really...

    I'm pretty sure it's the same as stock 16" KJ wheels.

    ***PICS*** Check out my new rims & tires.

    The rims came off an '01 Cherokee Limited and the tires are 245/70/16. Although they're A/T tires, they're remarkably quiet. This wheel swap really transformed the look of my KJ. Before these I had the stock setup of 17" chrome-clad rims with 235/65/17 Goodyear Eagle tires. Both were in bad...
