    METRA double-din KJ kit?

    No, I painted both of them... badly. :gr_grin: Biggest benefit to the new piece is that it attaches with a screw at the bottom, so it's more securely in place, as well as the cubby is now wide enough for my cell phone. You have my interest as well.

    METRA double-din KJ kit?

    Ok, here's a comparison... The first one is the stock METRA kit's faceplate. This is the faceplate from the other kit, ignoring it's crappy paintjob. Note that I was wrong, it's not a pure drop-in replacement, I need to pull it and lower the 'rear' of the stereo down some so that it sits...

    (Alcy) Yes, I meant refrigerant. :icon_lol: Glad cleaning the grill behind the glove box did it. I may have to try that on mine as well.

    nullptr's 2005 Liberty

    Just finished my 'summer' vacation this morning, 19 hour drive from Michigan to Florida. The dog enjoyed the room in the Liberty. Pics and video of my offroad misadventures will be coming in a day or so. But for now, here's some pics of my new car! It needs a little work...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Drove 19 hours from just north of Flint Michigan to Daytona Beach, FL, straight through. According to the EVIC, I averaged 20.0 mpg for the trip (up there, from Flint to the UP, backwoods UP, back down to Flint, then Florida). I don't think that's half bad. The dog enjoyed the extra room...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Got it a bit stuck in the backwoods around Munising Mi. Had to call a towing company to come get me out. Bad planning and overconfidence on my part, and a fairly expensive but well learned lesson. The little tracked machine that pulled me out was pretty cool. Guy who pulled me out said a Ford on...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I got gas in SC for $1.86 on Saturday. Today I'm near Munising Mi, fuel is 2.49 :( I've put 3500 miles on her since the last oil change, oil looks good and is dead on the full line. 62 miles until 80k! I think the Jeep likes it here in northern Michigan. :icon_smile:

    Learned a Few Things about the KJ Today

    Learned that, on a steep enough hill, cruise control will use engine braking. It was rather shocking when it suddenly seemed to downshift. It also seemed like it did something further if that wasn't sufficient, but I'm not sure if it applied brakes or just cut fuel to the engine. Took a really...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Got almost to Knoxville before I had to stop for the night. Actually, tried to stop earlier, but hotels are full up! Ended up at a rat hole 'America's Best Value' who charged way too much for their last room. It was either this or not sleep, and that's not an option. Anyway, learned some things...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    It was on their when I parked it, and had been in there for 6 months almost. Of course, I hadn't had any serious highway trips, so there is a chance it would have come off anyway. I has a sad. Tried to get my AppRadio to accept the Chromecast signal from my smart phone. AppRadio is working...

    METRA double-din KJ kit?

    Just as an update, I also went ahead and purchased one of the other mounting kits from eBay. You know, the one's that are still $134 on Amazon with the radio mounting to the faceplate? Well, you can get them on eBay now for about $34... And it's a direct faceplate swap. Using the radio mounts...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    What I don't understand is this is the SECOND one that's disappeared! I mean seriously, what the hell? I've just been buying the cheap Chinese ones off Amazon, they go for about $20 and fit halfway decently. :shrug: Takes a while to get them though, estimated delivery is the 1st to the...

    ac

    Ok, so both fans work? If you have a clutch fan, you have HD cooling (wait, maybe not, '03s may have both either way). There should be an electric one in front of the clutch fan as well. More than likely it's low on coolant. It's 11 years old at this point, even if it doesn't have a leak, no...

    Did some running before taking off on vacation... Came out of the store and found someone had stolen my "Liberty" spare tire cover. WTF.

    ac

    Two things to check. 1) Does the electric fan on the radiator come on when the AC is on? If the AC is on, the fan should be on. If it's not, then there is no air flow over the condenser coil, and you'll get what you've got. If the fan doesn't come on even when the engine is hot, then the fan...
