    Jeep KJ Plastic Model Kits anywhere?

    I don't know about plastic kits, but there are die cast models. I have one by Matchbox. :-) I got mine on eBay...

    Lifespan of the stock battery

    I replaced the stock battery in my '06 a couple weeks ago. It was put in service in '05, so it lasted about 6 years.

    Has anyone tried to sell a Manual KJ

    I know from experience selling previous vehicles that a manual transmission impacts resale value in a negative way. Just the same, I do wish I'd found a manual when I bought my Liberty last year. Overall I like the vehicle a lot, but the 42RLE auto is a huge detractor, especially since I often...

    Has anyone tried to sell a Manual KJ

    Every time I drive my KJ in the mountains, I wish I had a manual transmission. The constant up/down shifting, and the preference of the 45RLE to shift up wayyyy sooner than it should, even when climbing long grades, is a real annoyance. Other than that I'm happy with my KJ :).

    connecting iPhone to 2006 Liberty

    Hi everyone - thanks a lot for all the feedback. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I got busy and forgot about my post here (I *really* wish the site could email me when I get responses to my subscribed threads). Anyway, I guess with the reports of static problems I shouldn't buy that...

    connecting iPhone to 2006 Liberty

    Hi, have any of you had any experience with this device? http://www.icarkits.com/cars/JEEP_LIBERTY_2006/PODCHR810V2 NEO PROLINK PODCHR810V2 My Liberty's build list says I have the "RBKS AM/FM Compact Disc Radio w/Chgr Ctrl". It sounds good, but just want to be sure since it's pricey. Thanks...

    New look!

    Thanks for the suggestion but I am running at 1920x1080. It isn't that the page is too big for the display, it is that is I use a narrow browser the page truncated instead of scaling. It is probably a browser support issue. I'll explore further and let you know- thanks.

    New look!

    Hi - I think the site looks good, and have a couple suggestions/questions... - is it possible to make the layout scale to the width of the browser? As it is now, if the browser isn't wide enough, some important parts get truncated (like the "quote" button for example). - do you have any plans...

    buffing the hood

    progress... Here's how it looks so far ... I still need to do around the door jams, do the roof, and polish & wax the wheels. But for the rest I polished with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, then with Swirl Remover 2.0, then used Show Car Glaze, and then topped it off with a coat of NXT Tech Wax...

    First time Jeepsters or repeat customers?

    This is my 4th Jeep. I had a 98 Cherokee XJ, then an 06 Wrangler TJ, then an 01 Cherokee XJ, and now the 06 Liberty KJ.

    Looking at Libertys, what to watch out for?

    Hmmm, I don't know, sorry... all my research was on '06's - those were the ones I looked at, because they were in my price range when I bought. The 05's had more mileage than I wanted, and the 07's were too pricey. :) If you Google "automotive.com 2006 jeep liberty recalls" you can get the...

    Anti-theft/keyless device/alarm installed

    Hmmm, yeah... I'll post an update when I find out, if I can :).

    buffing the hood

    I ended up buying some 4" pads and am getting started with the project. My Liberty must have been thru a carwash a thousand times before I bought it... it's swirl city. I'll update when I've made some progress :)

    Looking at Libertys, what to watch out for?

    On the 06, at least, there were at least a couple recalls ... blower motor, ball joints, so you'll want to check to see if those were done. My mechanic advises me that the replacement installed with the ball joint recall is just the same part ... so even if the recall was done, you may want to...

    Anti-theft/keyless device/alarm installed

    @ShafferNY, when I follow those steps, there's no light blinking on the dash. I'll see if the dealer can provide the VIP report - thanks for the tip!

    Keyless Entry

    Hi - I had the same question with a Cherokee I bought used. It had electric locks, but the seller didn't provide any key fobs. It turned out the vehicle was equipped with remote entry, so I ordered key fobs on eBay, had them programmed, and I was all set :). You can find out by getting a...

    steiger aftermarket window regulator repair kit

    Have any of you installed these kits proactively? I'm considering it because I *really* don't want to be parked out at a trailhead overnight, or someplace in the rainy season, or whatever, and have a window fail on me... worst case would be I'm off backpacking somewhere and one falls while I'm...

    buffing the hood

    Reviving an old thread here... I am deciding on tools for detailing my '06 Liberty. I've already decided on the supplies ... I'm using various Meguiars products. I think I want to get the Porter Cable 7424XP... but all the pads I see mentioned in relation to this polisher are 6". Do any of...

    proper operation of flipper glass

    OK, I replaced the two flipper glass struts with the Monroe #901512's. Now it pops right up like it's supposed to - cool! :). It still opens slowly for the last several inches (maybe a feature to keep it from hitting at the end of the strut travel?). And when closing it, there's a point...
