    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Question for you folks that have roof baskets. I see in pics that you have "flush" mounted baskets along the rails. My Reny's Yakima mounts/rails are at leat 3 inches high, and the basket then sits on that. What do you folks use? Thanks!

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Has anyone here ever replaced the oem Hella top bumper fogs with anything else? If I could find something that I can use the same mounting bolt, and just solder into the 2 wires of the old lights I'd give it a shot. Slow time of year at work, so I loaded the battle wagon with my mountain...

    Realized all the balljoints were shot, so got kits that included all the other control arms just to do it. I'm going to get 500k out of this thing!

    Question about the OEM roof cargo basket...

    Thanks Tom, you confirmed what I thought. I think I'll stick to my standard rack and pass this one along, ya know, this "funky roof contraption thingy"!

    Question about the OEM roof cargo basket...

    ..I got a hold of one of these funky looking roof baskets. It came off a Renegade, but doesn't seem to fit my 06. Any tips for mounting this thing, or does it just not fit 06's? Thanks for any tips. I have Yakima feet and rails, and a generic metal box, but it sits so high up, I...

    Engine Codes on 2006 Liberty 4x4, Also whirring sound.

    Just going to throw my experience here, my 06 throws a check engine light with code for "improbable amount of gas" 1411. It would go away eventually, now I have a code checker to erase it ($15 on ebay). I've always had an issue with fueling at certain pumps, the "lock" keeps popping off...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    My hood was oxidized and nasty, finally tossed this on the center. I had enough to do the whole hood, but my big giant brain thought i'd just do just the center panel.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    After a few months of difficulty starting, it barely worked this afternoon. I had replaced the ignition switch actuator last spring, so I assumed something was up with it and sure enough, I had installed the gold metal spring loaded thingy on the wrong side of the white plunger (if you've done...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Properly seated my white gauge covers, didn't notice they were off until the darker mornings. Also put a new "lens" on it, my old one had some kind of growth on the inside that couldn't be cleaned. Still looking for led's that work, I've tried a few sizes but none mount properly.

    HOW TO: Install an EVIC or OTIS (overhead computer)

    One last mention...... when cutting the headliner, go as little as possible. As someone mentioned here, it's always better to cut a little at a time. I started with the dome light area, and worked my way back. I only used a utility blade. Be aware, the wires for the passenger visor vanity...

    HOW TO: Install an EVIC or OTIS (overhead computer)

    So I finally have my install solved, a Renny 06 that already had the temp sensor installed. I found a 56010520AD which worked, it had the tpm warning on startup and homelink. But thanks to a member here, FatElvis (Jari), who graciously sent me a unit and then waited for payment after I knew...

    HOW TO: Install an EVIC or OTIS (overhead computer)

    The 56010520"AD" version has the homelink but also has the tpm alert, if that helps.

    HOW TO: Install an EVIC or OTIS (overhead computer)

    So I got a hold of an 03 Grand Cherokee module, that I combined with the one I already had and was able to combine everything so I have the main module, dome lights that work, and parts of the wiring. As you can see, I fabricated wire harnesses with male/female connectors ( I work with...

    HOW TO: Install an EVIC or OTIS (overhead computer)

    I'm going to hit my reclaimation yards in south Sacramento. I recieved my 03 Grand Cherokee unit, it had a 3 pin connector, 2 sets of black, pink, and yellow wires. If anyone has any wire up ideas. let me know. I kind of do it for a living, so I don't mind soldering in my own wire harness...
