    Rear Pinion Bearings

    I got the puller kit @JeepJeepster suggested, and used a crush-sleeve eliminator. Easier for me to repeat and repeat until i got it set up right.

    Fake Liberty Head Gaskets

    i decided it was a head gasket-only problem. Had the one head shaved 5 thou to clean up the erroded part. $100 to some old guy with a mill in his garage. Has been good since.

    Heads and gaskets

    JMHO, be careful what you justify. I'd have to earn $5k in OT to pay for that (before tax)... so I'd rather fix it on my own time for say $1k. I can also get another similar Liberty with lower mileage for $3500.

    Heads and gaskets

    These engines commonly pop head gaskets and drop valve seats. Often as a byproduct of a cooling system event. Ours got to just over 300k before dropping a valve seat. The spare engine had popped the head gasket by 172k. In any case, re&re on a cylinder head was less work for me than changing...

    Heads and gaskets

    My spare head from a blown HG was 5 thou low between chambers. It needed to be milled. Cheaper than having the dropped valve seat repaired.

    Heads and gaskets

    Its never the 'worst idea' to renew more parts, but theres a limit on my funds and time. Part of the deciding factor for me was wether or not the timing cover and chains had to come off. They didn't, so I stuck with the one head.

    Heads and gaskets

    I went with rockauto for parts. Cheap ones. And I only dealt with the one head (pass side) that had trouble. Used a blue Felpro head gasket.

    New Tires old RIMS

    Seems like 225-235 is all that clears without rubbing. Running 245/75R16E now - they rub. Whatever profile you choose (60, 65, 70) watch the overall diameter. When the rim goes up 1", so does the OD, unless the profile is reduced.

    Rocky road outfitters budget lift

    Original swaybar links here. ~3" lift and 320,000km.

    Rocky road outfitters budget lift

    I added these later. IIRC, they are 3/8" longer.

    Rocky road outfitters budget lift

    I'm still on the original RRO arm bushings from about 2013. I developed occasional spring contact after upgrading to the diesel coils.

    Rocky road outfitters budget lift

    Ours was not typical then. Teraflex 2" and 160,000km on the stock springs... needed corrected upper control arms.

    Rocky road outfitters budget lift

    You need to put it back down on its own weight before you can assess if anything is binding. When I lifted ours with a Teraflex kit 12 years ago (also a top strut spacer) I needed RRO's upper arms to put he camber in usable range - wore the tires crooked in just a month (without).

    Do I Have to Calibrate Speedo Again After Regearing to 4:10?

    Thats the beauty of the manual trans with the 3.7. Choose the rpm you like for the power/torque you want.

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    Torn rubber bushing are visible when you get your head right in there. I put moog ones in the first time and they tore just the same (since i had lift with no arm-angle correction). Try a prybar between the arm and body and see if it shifts around far enough for the two to make contact.

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    Yup - highest chance those are torn. Having any lift, which angulates the bushings, speeds up that failure. The arm itself is stupid-simple. About all it can do is rust away.

    Rebuilding stock suspension

    Slightly stiffer. Needed something better than stock that might not sag out as badly. I also didnt have luck with a spring compressor, so I built a wooden jig to carefully support it in my 30ton press.

    Rebuilding stock suspension

    I carefully put my own struts together. Rancho shocks and the diesel coils; so I could get what I wanted.

    oil leak

    Maybe as a temp fix. I wouldnt trust it for long. That "right stuff" rtv sealant may have better adhesion.
