    Rear Window Wind Deflector

    In my opinion, no. From what I have observed on vehicles equipped with these deflectors, they never really work under a really dusty conditions. The problem is that no matter how much airflow you direct over the rear window, dust particals will still stick due to electro-static forces...

    Dealership Scam?

    The disk pads on my vehicle are still the original OEM ones and they are definately equipped with a metal plate/pin that will make a noise when the wear is low. Pointed out to me by mechanic at local Jeep service centre when I asked "How would I know when my pads are running low?" The wheels...

    Question about brakes/ABS

    According to the technical guys at the local Jeep dealership the ABS system is actually disengaged by the on-board computer system when the vehicle is shifted into low ratio 4x4 so as not to interfere with serious off-road crawling. In my opinion having ABS is a big plus as a safety factor when...

    Why Liberty in USA and Cherokee in RSA, Oz, UK., etc?

    By now most of us Jeep KJ fanatics know that our wheels are marketed under two different "names", that is the Liberty in the US (Canada?) and elsewhere in the world (South Africa, Europe, Australia, etc.) it is known as the Cherokee. Any clear reasons why DC went this way to market under two...

    Caltex Delo 400 - best oil for CRD?

    I have been advised by various other 4x4 diesel owners to try Caltex Delo 400 oil in my CRD. While I am aware of the great variety of makes, Synthetic or non-synthetic, etc. I would still like to hear the opinions of fellow Liberty owners. Did a bit of digging on the internet and got good...

    Keep or Remove the rear gate badging?

    Keep it on. The name Jeep is associated with the vehicle. Without it some nut will want to know " 'Hey you, what type of wheels are this? Some cheap asian copy of that icon JEEP?"

    Screeching tires...Normal? Design flaw?

    I would recommend the Bridgestones Dueler AT's as a replacement. Although more expensive than the 'Bad'years given as stock, I have had only good results, both on hard surface and off-road. This fact is supported by the many other posts, both here on KJ Country and JeepForum, in this regard...

    Service Schedule tasks for a CDR

    With respect, the owner's manual is very skimpy and general. It would take any technical type of owner 30 min tops to do the listed tasks, yet the dealer wants to charge for 3 hours plus labour. What else are they suppose to do?

    Service Schedule tasks for a CDR

    Exactly what tasks must a ‘stealer’ do as per the required Maintenance Service Schedule ‘B” for a CDR? This will be the second service to be done at 40 000 km. After watching a actuality program on TV where various ‘traps’ were set in order to ascertain if dealers actually do what they charge...

    Temperature reading via EVIC

    As part of the readouts available in the overhead EVIC, a temperature reading is given. My question is simple: Is this the air temerature outside the vehicle, or the cabin temerature, or perhaps the air temperature behind the EVIC unit (that is the air space between the roof and ceiling/EVIC...

    how long have you driven on "E"????

    It would appear that on your KJ's the E must stand for "Enough" and the F for "f*ckall". I however always get nervious when the little man start sticking his finger in his ear and will find the nearest pump ASAP. It can realy be very bad for one's ego to stand next to the road with a high...

    Handlebar above the glove-box to older models

    It was my understanding that this handle was installed to hang a barf bag from ... placed just right for any passenger that find the going a little bit more than what he bargained for when accepting a lift with a Jeep fanatic trying the 80 deg incline with one hand on the roof and the other one...

    Turbo lag on CRD .. can one improve the response

    All CRD owners are aware of the so-called “turbo lag” issue that is experienced during acceleration. My question is very simple. Can the lag period, or seconds waited before the turbo kicks in and give the much wanted compression needed for the required power from the diesel mill, be improved...
