    Optimum RPM in top gear

    Around 23-400 rpm seems best but wind resistance is what hurts you at speed

    How To Starter Replacement

    Modernish I’d say. Just the right amount of goodies before things get really complicated

    DPG OME Lift Kit

    Most likely, that's not assembled. You'll have to have a shop compress the springs onto the front shocks (kinda like a strut) and then you'll install on the vehicle as a unit.

    Transmission Shift Improvement Kit

    Yes, I installed one. The kit has 2 options - 1 for taking out torque converter, 1 for not taking it out - to take it out means you're removing trans. That second option also has a sub option for soldering in a resistor in the tb board, though you aren't supposed to do that if you have an engine...

    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.
