    Strange thing at the Car Wash - get out, push the Jeep?

    Based on the way this is written, I'm thinking this is not an official response. If a Jeep were to suddenly accelerate, I wonder why it would decide to do it only at a car wash? Maybe the Jeep's feel they look better dirty...?

    Hitch lbs

    I have the same problem, but compounded by the fact the nuts in the frame were rusted badly, and on the one you're describing I can't get tap into it. Also the slot in the hitch does not line up properly. I'm wondering how safe the hitch is with 5 bolts? I'm not going to be hauling a...

    Wierd thing happened at 5 Minute Oil Change

    It helped that the GM at the dealer was an old buddy of mine that owed me a favor or two.

    Wierd thing happened at 5 Minute Oil Change

    I got free lifetime oil changes from the dealer where I bought my Liberty. No disposal issues here...

    New tires/speedo gears

    I changed the speedo gear on my TJ Wrangler some years ago. I was able to work with a pretty good parts guy at the Jeep dealer who was able to look up the gear i needed, and had it within a day or so. I would assume the KJ is the same.

    Installing a Baby car seat in my Liberty?

    I think the car seat was my first mod actually. Installing it is really simple, and should take every bit of 10 minutes or so. But if you are unsure or just very cautious, go by your local firehouse, and they'll install it for you.

    Where did you?????

    Unfortunately I've had to use (or rather threaten to use) my Maglight for reasons that can't be rated in Lumens. And in that incident, the weight of the light would have been a positive factor.

    What a shame...lowered KJ

    I don't know, I don't think that a 2WD SUV is really that much of an oddity. But I agree, it's not my thing either. You know, with it lowered like that it kinda reminds me of the Chevy HHR.

    Where did you?????

    I went the no-drill route. I cut a piece of scrap plywood to fit against the seat bracket, and used the 2 existing holes in the bracket to mount it. I covered it in some scrap interior vinyl that I got at a fabric store for a buck. Slightly over-engineered, but no holes drilled and my 2D fits...

    Stock KJ

    I'm pretty well stock too. So far I've added BFG All-Terrain tires, and iPod kit and a hitch. Beyond that, I'm adding a front hitch and a Wilderness rack, and maybe some off road lights. I don't want to add to much because I think that at some point the wife is going to steal the Libby, and I...

    Factory tow hooks or reciever hitch?

    Well, I decided to go the hitch receiver mount route. Yesterday I ordered the front and rear from JC Whitney, both Hidden Hitch. I was quite surprised when Fed Ex showed up this morning with the rear receiver. So since I was off work and it was nice out, I thought I'd throw it on. It turned...

    Factory tow hooks or reciever hitch?

    Hey Kevin, you have the front receiver right? Does that interfere with the front license plate (or do you even have one?) I think I'm going with the front receiver, but probably not till spring. I have a few other items higher up on the list, plus by then I'll need to get my jeep funds built...

    Engine Trouble

    To me, it sounds like the tech was just trying to cover himself in case there is something he didn't catch. If that were me, and you got that in writing that you shouldn't take your jeep off road, then I'd contact the general manager. Just let him know that you feel that they are...

    Factory tow hooks or reciever hitch?

    I was looking at buying the Mopar tow hooks, front and rear. I then realized that I could get both a front and rear hitch mounts for just a little bit more $. If I were to use the hitch's with a receiver tow hook or shackle, would that be as good as a frame mount tow hook, and would it be...

    AHHH!!!! My Jeep is WRECKED!!!!

    Glad your OK. You're right, the Libby's seem to stand up pretty good in an accident. I'm hoping to get mine out of the shop this week. At least the nut in the p/u had insurance (I hope). Unfortunately the deer that tried to kill me did not...

    LIBERTY SPORT

    Man, I'd rethink that one. I know around here that will get you in some real trouble with the boys in blue. Plus the fact that blinding a driver behind you could cause an accident and get someone hurt. Just my .02, YMMV

    Tail gate lock noise

    I guess once it comes back from the body shop, I'll just take it over to the dealer to fix that too. It looks like I'm getting car repairs for Xmas, #-o

    Tail gate lock noise

    So this weekend my tail gate lock starts making this incredibly loud buzzing noise when it locks. It locks and unlocks fine, it's just when it locks it's extremely loud (not when unlocking though). Has anyone experienced this before? Is there anything in the tailgate that could cause that...
