    Hi from Stoke on Trent England.

    Hey Up Youth! Ex-Stokie here now living in Salisbury. I've had two KJs and now using a KK. Also had an XJ but that's a sad story. If you have any problem with those door mirrors they are available on eBay. You should get a pair for less that £100. I use mine for towing my Airstream

    Towed for the first time with the KK and gave it a good test

    Greetings from the UK. I don't know if the KK is available with a diesel engine over there, but I would highly recommend one for towing. The 2.8td is a lovely engine with lots of torque and only 10bhp lower than the 3.7. I pull Airstreams over here, usually my 17ft Caravel that weighs in at...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    On the weekend I removed both seats and changed their cushions. Mine(driver's) had suffered wear -from scuffing as you get in - that recently turned into a tear. I got a big needle and some very strong thread and, as tidily as I could, stitched up the tear. This is not crucial as the...

    Good Morning America!

    Actually, it's quite widely used in the US where it originated. We don't have Twinkies over here. I got a ribbing from a gay friend (I said RIBBING - English term - he made fun of it) because twinkie is slang for a joung gay man! :Lol

    Good Morning America!

    Strange how a fault can cause you to stare like a rabbit in the headlights! Staring at the AIRBAG warning light and scratching my head I completely forgot that the SEATBELT warning light was NOT illuminated. Having taken the seats out over the weekend to exchange the front seat pads, the...

    Good Morning America!

    The rig is a 51 Chevy pickup and a 1960 20ft Avion - a really pretty trailer. The Chevy is best described as "agricultural" in its performance so you get plenty of time to wave at bystanders pointing their iPhones at you! I fitted a Tekonsha RF wireless brake controller.

    Another towing question

    The one measurement people forget! Hey Prof, I can tell you that the Liberty has a substantial towing capacity. I realised this the first time I pulled onto a multi-lane. Everybody started pulling out expecting to overtake me only to discover that within 400 yds they had to accellerate to...

    Good Morning America!

    that 29 fuse is actually for the heated mirrors which are on a separate circuit and actuated by the rear demister relay, It was the first fuse I checked. It could well be the fuse if the switch is U/S... ...looks like I'm dismantling the door and putting a tester on the switch! Thank...

    Thanks Dave No, I'm afraid! You'd think from the contents of my manual and the fuse list that the Jeep didn't have adjustable OR folding mirrirs. No mention in the book, on the wiring diagram OR in the car itself! I am baffled - and the things don't work at all! btw - they did up until a...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    An extra 12v power socket on my KJ 3.7. This tip might not transfer as I'm in the UK and right hand drive. However, I'm sure the whole thing is symmetrical. I mounted it in the thin strip of trim on the dash adjacent to the door. On mine the fuse panel is around the corner so gives me easy...
