    Prestone Univseral Anti-Freeze

    OK...so Chrysler says you "must" use the special red (HOAT) anti-freeze, but not one auto parts store around here sells it..... I made a command decision to substitute that product with Prestone Universal 5 year / 150,000 mile anti-freeze. Prestone claims it's good for any make or model...

    265/75-16 on a 2.5" lift....?

    I'm getting ready to pull the hook on a new set of Goodyear Duratrac's, but can't decide if I should just stick to 245/75-16's recommended by the manufacturer of my 2.5" lift, or if I could push it and go with 265/75-16... Right now I'm just sitting on the lift, but I do have the ability to...

    In an effort to find a better than stock bulb for my reverse lights I purchased two different brands of 3157 clear bulbs, then did a side by side comparison of both with the stock bulb original to my Liberty..... Sylvania Silverstar, and PIAA H.I.D. The PIAA H.I.D. bulbs are without a...

    Better late than never.......

    I've gained so much information concerning my Jeep Liberty tolling this, and one other forum, it's amazing how much I did not know about this vehicle until recently. Just the other day I happened on a thread that discussed changing the differential oil in the axles, and it indicated it should...

    Mopar Rockrail maintenance

    Over the last few trips under my '05 Renegade, I've been noticing the effects of close to 5 years of driving on the beach, over winter time road salt, and the occasional creep through salt water during Nor'Easter storms. Mopar rockrails are not immune to the corrosive effects of salt, and...

    '02 to '07 Splash Guards...

    I have a set of Jeep / Mopar rear splash guards for '02 to '07 (KJ) Jeep Liberty. My wife's cousin ordered them for his Sport, but traded it in before he installed them, so he gave them to me.

    Surf's Custom Front Skid.....

    Now that I did the trim job on the front bumper..... I decided to engineer myself a front skid plate using a scrap piece of pre-bent aluminum diamond plate and a pair of heavy duty "L" brackets. The brackets had to be heated, bent, cut, and re-drilled for the mounting holes. I used two of...

    Hard water spotting on glass....?

    I've tried CLR, and a handful of other products designed to remove hard water spots from auto glass, but nothing I've tired seems to work. I'm thinking I may have to use a buffer and some sort of compound to get rid of this spotting. I live at the Jersey shore with constant salt spray from...
