OK - Now for some MAN tires...
eyehatetofu, Thanks for the suggestion - great minds think alike. I had been spending some time on Craig's list even as you posted. After more than a week of leaving messagrs, and trying to get people to call me back, today I picked up a set of 5 tires mounted on 2006 Rubicon (Moab) rims...- Uncle Krusty

Concequences of larger tires with stock gearing?
Larger diameter tires will definitly effect the gas milage as you try to make up for the lost performance with more pedal in the city. There is also the other side, in that more rolling mass (bigger tires) takes more brakes to stop. My 2006 has 4 wheel disc, which is great, but you may see...- Uncle Krusty

Dealership issues...
You also have to remember that "shop time" doesn't reflect "actual" time. The time you are charged is based upon a charge for that specific procedure. If a brake job is listed at say 1 hour, and the mechanic takes 2, he still only gets paid (and you are charged) for 1. If it takes him 30...- Uncle Krusty

Personal Protection Storage?
A lock box under the seat would be great. From looking at the '06, I would probably put it under the driver's side rear seat (Jack is on the passenger's side) I know, not extremly handy, but it seems to be the most room in an "out of site" location. (dragging out my soapbox...) It's...- Uncle Krusty

Mounted the moabs!!
Looks Good! Can't wait to see for more. (popcorn) BTW, don't the MOABs have less backspacing than the factory rims? I'm thinking 1" or so. are you going to run with the additional spacers or remove them to narrow the stance a bit?- Uncle Krusty

OK - Now for some MAN tires...
Pics would be great - If I knew how to post (I'm sure I can figure it out as I remember seeing a "how to" somewhere here.) BUT... Posting pics of my lifted Libby without some decent tires is like wearing flip-flops with a tuxedo. ](*,) I promise to do some before/after pics (I have some...- Uncle Krusty

Roll over boundry
I think this is what you are looking for... http://www.uxcell.com/black-4x4-plugin-land-meter-inclinometer-shows-angle-vehicle-tilt-p-37204.html Probably some other manufacturers as well.

HOW TO: Replace dead instrument cluster lights
My '06 has the Speedo on the left (looking at the dash) and the Tach on the right. If I remember correctly, this was just opposite an '04 I looked at once. BTW, My Limited has dark backgroung guages...- Uncle Krusty

OK - Now for some MAN tires...
The planets have aligned, and i now find it possible to upgrade the tires on the Libberty. So Saturday I went to the tire store looking for some new "shoes" for my 2006. I recently added an OME lift (springs only). I measured the lift at 3" over the original height, and 21" from wheel center...- Uncle Krusty

Need Opinions
threadjacked.gif Take it easy and no one will get hurt. jeh200284, I too have the 17" rim option, and a new OME lift as well. I need to replace the 235/65-17 Open Country's I wore out, and was looking at the REVO-IIs. The 245/70-17 doesn't seem to be that much bigger than what I...- Uncle Krusty

Random "dings" and warning lights
Let me 3X the battery thing..... I had mine "forget" the ignition key one time and refused to start. Disconnected the battery (one terminal was loose). Depressed the brakes for a minute to drain all capacitors down and re-set the CPU. Cleaned and re-tightened the terminals - Fired right...- Uncle Krusty

HOW TO: Change front and rear wipers (VIDEO)
Changing wipers for some is quite easy, and others - especially if you've never done it can be hard. Over the years I've purchased new blades that ranged from just the rubber "blade" with the steel strip through it all the way up to the full head assembly - and everything in between! Half...- Uncle Krusty

What tires do I need?
I have 265/75-16s TOYO Open Contry's on my full size 2wd Dodge PU, and love them. They're great on-road and been good for the ocasionall "off road" trip as well. I also have the same TOYO's (235/60-17) on my 4wd Liberty. The only complaint is the tread wasn't as deep, and they seem to only...- Uncle Krusty

Peeling steelies
Basically there are two ways to remove the paint - both will remove both the silver and the black primer coat. First is by means of an abrassive (sandblasting, sanding, etc...) This is the more "elbow grease" approach. Second is by using a chemical stripper. On small projects I've even...- Uncle Krusty

Jack for Lifted KJ
I have to agree with tommudd 100%! I wonder sometimes how many people with their hi-lift bolted down and padlocked in place even know where the keys are for it? Don't get me wrong - I've owned and used a Hi-lift for years, and they can be quite handy, but like any tool, must be used safely...- Uncle Krusty

rancho RS5000
What's all the panic for? Yes, the 17004s are no longer made, and getting harder to find. But remember any shock designed to fit a stock Durango (or Dakota - if I remember right) will work for a 2"-3" lifted Libby I understand the valving will be different depending on the MFGs, and the...- Uncle Krusty

Help: Old tensioner vs. New tensioner
When the bearing in the smooth pulley started whining, I decided to replace both it and the ribbed one as well. The problem I ran into was that while everyone listed and stocked the smooth pully, no one stocked (some did not even list) the ribbed one. At the fourth place I stopped, after...- Uncle Krusty

I'll let the cat out of the bag (06 Limited) My KJ came with a DVD in the glove box full of all types of picture just for posting on bulletin boards. It's listed on the build sheet as the "make them jealous" package. Seriously, he's an admin - he supposed to have stuff like this...- Uncle Krusty
