    BAM! - Right in the face...

    Y/C, I use Internet Explorer 7. I've heard good things about Google Chrome, but have yet to change. I like Dave's Idea too. Thank you both! :worship:

    BAM! - Right in the face...

    I see this was changed back - thank you. I'm not the most web-savy guy, and was wondering if I'm linked to the right spot? I don't run any type of ad blocker (where do you get one?), and do try to clean out the cookies every month or so. I'm runnig one of the more popular internet secutirty...

    What to sell my KJ for?

    Trey, selling a vehicle is like selling a house. Location matters. What may be 7k were you live could go for 8-9K somewhere else. Here in the Phoenix area, 4X4 is more of a luxery item where in the northern part of the state, it can be more utilitarian. Trim level, options, add-ons, as...

    BAM! - Right in the face...

    This may not be the right place for this, so if it gets moved / deleted - I understand. I just want to offer some hopelfully constructive coments. So, I go to log in today, (I'ts been a few...) and I'm hit right in the face with the new advertising and the note about setting up an account...

    where did the lift FAQ go

    I wondered what had happened to budke... Thought he might have finally sold his KJ and moved on.

    Tpms

    I beleive the sensors need to be programmed to your vehicle's computer.

    Rear recovery point.

    I'll be different and go with #4 I'm going to assume you'll leave these in all the time for the added "cool" factor. (cool) Hooks are good, (solid over hollow) but there is alway a chance you could throw the strap off. D ring is great, and the gadget factor gives extra points on the...

    Pentastar V-6 Production Line Video

    That would be the most locigal as you would avoid all kind of shipping issues (weight, fluid leakage, etc...). Not having to deal with the fluids until the end makes it a great deal easier to maintain the "GREEN" image they went out of there way to portray in the film.

    OME 1.5" lift.

    Hey OSU, another option to the spacers you may consider. The rims on the Wranglers have about 1" less backspacing than the Liberty rims. When I changed over to the Moabs, the change in backspacing had the same effect as spacers in widening the track. Also, the wider track will effect tire...

    245/75-16/2.5" lift/pinch weld rubbing question?

    Tom makes a good point. My lift of just OME 926 (Medium) springs netted me a measured 3" of suspension lift. But I have to assume at least 1" or more of that was due to sag in the old springs. So to be accurate, what is the wheel well to hub center on a stock Liberty? Does that change on...

    Mopar tow hooks

    "This morning I mounted the bike rack on the new hitch and piled on 4 bikes. I took the family to the Owosso bicycle trail that follows the river and we had a great time." Looks like it might be time to look into (or make) some type of rack for the top. then you could split the bikes up - 2...

    Cragar soft 8's

    If I were going soft D's, I probably go with the 16x7. The added clearance around the brakes being the main factor. 16" tires are not that much more expensive, or harder to find than 15" ones. Be sure to get the correct offset / backspacing. I changed out my 17" rims for a set of 16" Moab...

    245 65 17 fit on stock height ??

    I know what you mean when it comes to shopping for 235/65-17 tires in an A/T design. All but non-existant, then expensive when you do find them. I ran Toyo Open Contry A/Ts in that size, and was quite happy with everything except how long they lasted. I only got about 40K miles out of the 50K...

    2005 KJ, worth replacing idler pulleys?

    X2 I replaced a noisy pulley (actually both) only to have the tensioner fail 3 months later. As TJKJ said, the new tensioner includes the new pulleys already installed.

    Jeep-Branded Off-Road Trailers Now Available From Mopar

    I like the look, but again, most of us are definately watching the bottom line. You have to remember the price is for a "brand spankin' new" outfit. I was recently looking at Aventure Trailers and a few Teardrops as well. A new one is not cheap. I priced a fully loaded teardrop out at $20K...

    Mod: 120VAC Upgrade

    I don't know about the KK body style, but my KJ limited has an 12V outlet (cicarette lighter style) in the front at the base of the radio, as well as one on the passenger's side rear in the cargo area. If I remeber correctly, the rear one is fused for around 20 Amps, and is "Hot" all the time...

    Positive Battery Cable

    There are two upgades to the battery that will more than pay for themself over the life of the vehicle. 1. Get rid of the cheap lead/acid battery and go with something like a Optima, or even a good sealed AC Delco. Less venting/leakage translates into a cleaner area and less corrosion...

    Am I missing anything?

    OOPS... Tom, you got the front spring part number wrong. I think you meant 927 for HD front. Though I used the 926 (med) and am perfectly happy with these (no additional front bumper or winch).

    Unstable/Shut Down when coming to a complete stop

    The best place to start these days is by pulling the error codes. After that, my first suggestion is to clean the battery terminals, and check the battery and charging system. As much of the engine/transmission is now computer controlled, I've found that poor electrical conections tend to...
