    Tires or what ?

    You probably have trac-lok lsd in the rear in combination with highway tires. When I first got my KJ and was driving in snow (highway tires + lsd rear), even if I was careful I would go sideways in snow. A open rear is actually safer in the snow than lsd, ironically.

    Parasitic battery drain - fuse 34 ??

    Been there. M Been there, drained a few batteries. We have the same issue with a worn out key - my wife always asks me to double check the ignition is in the right position (non-acc) after she drives because she was the major instigator of dead batteries. Even I do it from time to time. I will...

    How To Starter Replacement

    Nah. Driveshaft comes out without removing exhaust and to get more room I found just looosening the manifolds v clamp and then removing intermediate exhaust bolts gave enough room to navigate a starter in/out. I didn’t have to resort to prying or hammering but Have to rotate it 180 to get to...

    Shifter bushing elimination fix possibly?

    They do make aftermarket (HDPE?) bushings that are replacement for the OEM (PVC?) units. Hard to get into the cable end, but feel very solid once installed. And yes, the OEM ones do tend to crack or fall apart - just like almost everything else on the KJ.

    Dakota/Durango 4x4 Rear Shocks Fitment

    Just realized I put the wrong part number, should be RS55248. Eyes blurred the S and 5 together. Sorry folks!

    BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain T/A or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

    Do you have traction aids like LSD or locker? Curious as to how the KJ does offroad without the mechanical help. Though, I haven't found grip to be the limiting factor - the biggest offroad limitation with the KJ is clearance.

    help with front driveshaft on 02 liberty limited 4wd

    So I looked up driveshaftparts.com and they have new (not rebuilt) driveshafts for the liberty - reasonable price. Apparently the driveshaft lengths slightly differ between transfer cases and probably transmission types. I have select tract 242 with auto so my OEM part# 52111597AA translated to...

    help with front driveshaft on 02 liberty limited 4wd

    Hey Tom, I had to take my front driveshaft out to replace a failing starter and I noticed that my front CV joint is getting dry. Do you know the part#'s for the front driveshaft's CV joints from driveshaftparts.com? I'd like to rebuild before I put back in place.

    BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain T/A or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

    ha! I literally don't know how that translates in terms of auto tires. :) I know what tank tracks looks like, but I have no personal experience with APCs or tanks.

    04 KJ Lift Kit – Not Adding Up

    I have detours winch bracket and ARB winch, I had to go with 790 springs to keep them from sagging under the additional weight. I did this after trying 927s. I think since ARB took over OME production, the springs don't provide as much lift as they used to - the 927's are only going to give you...

    BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain T/A or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

    I'm really curious about how the Toyos do in snow/rain - their tread siping is almost none existent. Definitely look like an excellent offroad tire though.

    BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain T/A or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

    If you want to stick with P rated tires that have fairly aggressive tread, the list is pretty short. I looked at quite a few of them side by side IRL and I'd suggest you look into the Destination AT2s. At this point they are one of the most expensive AT tire but they seem pretty great so far.

    The 2022 Great Desert Road Trip

    Absolutely awesome. I'd love to hear more of how you managed to get balljoints on/off without tools. And this reminds me, you should get a front and rear LSD. Having spent some time out in the four corners region, I can attest to how rough it can be. Major props... and since I live in Nor. Cal...

    Buyers Remorse Open Country - 245 75 r16

    245's actually look a little too small for the 8" width wheel. 245's on the other hand look perfect on the 7" width wheel. I'll send pic of mine shortly. And interestingly, I think the stretching of the tire accounts for the rubbing you get. I literally get none at full lock to lock with the...

    BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain T/A or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

    I retract my endorsement of the Coopers. I started losing snow traction pretty hard after about 3-4k miles and then I noticed that the siping only goes 2/32" into the tread and of course I'm about 1/2 of that at this point. They still were quiet and rode nice, but didn't have faith in them after...

    H&R Spring Review

    I'd much prefer a longer spring to achieve lift (gain travel), but to do that would require a longer strut as well. The strut (shock I know!) acts as the limiter so the only way to achieve is by stiffer spring. I'm running the CRD springs on my gasser up front to counter balance the weight of a...
