Yeah - I agree that an in-dash unit is the better choice. I had this stuff laying around so I just pieced it together sort of on the fly. I've since removed the Sirius unit - just wasn't using it that much. I've got the police/EMS scanner on all the time, the ham rigs scanning, and when I...

Nice to see an old thread revived. Yep, had my General ticket for about 25 years. I've done a few installs in my Libby. Here are some of my installs. This YouTube video is of an Alinco on the dash: Alinco DR135T MKIII 2 Meter Ham Rig in Jeep Liberty - YouTube This YouTube video is of a...

Very nice look, Elmer. Nice job. Maybe the film the guys used on mine was different. How long have you had your tints on? Ever stopped for it? Dan

I've wanted tinted windows for a long time. As per a previous post, I tried the Walmart tint stuff - turned out horrible so I pulled it off. A local car shop was offering tinting for just the front side windows which is all I needed for $65. They said almost all of the cars they tint get the...

Thanks for the reply and support. Live and learn. Dan

I'm pretty handy, I can do finish carpentry that is above average, paint clean lines without masking tape, model clay and epoxy, play a few instruments, and do basic finger magic enough to entertain my kids. But after trying and failing miserably to apply window tint from Walmart to the front...

I picked up a new smaller 2 meter mobile rig and did an install in my 2004 Jeep Liberty. I have made a few other videos/postings of similar projects but this one is of a slightly different mount. The "mount" consists of a 5"x5" metal backing plate that is simply toggle bolted to the defrost vent...

This is just another option for installing an older Sirius radio in a Libby. I didn't like the previous location so this seemed to make sense. The spot to the left of the steering wheel on a small piece of plastic that pops out worked out fine. Now I just need to make more solid the mounting...

Thanks for the reply. Is it a local public radio station? I didn't think regular broadcasts were below 88.1. Dan

I'm inside and about to crash for the night but was wondering, does the stock radio for a 2004 Liberty drop down to 87.7 or 87.9? Just discovered my FM Modulator does and it would be nice to be on a freq that is not a commercial broadcast one. Dan

So the thought crossed my mind that it would be really cool to put some fog lights on my roof basket. Then I checked a few YouTube videos on it and one of the videos said to check with your state to find out what the laws are. So I did and it seems that in Maryland you're limited to no lights...

Thanks for the replies. I'll share my results when the valve gets here and I put it in. Dan

Just found online a new PCV valve for the '04 for $6.99 with free shipping. Went ahead and ordered it. Who knows when this one was changed if it ever was. Dan

A friend of mine with an old Honda van decided to "fix" his broken speedometer with a portable GPS from Walmart. Dan

Interesting that you asked that. I was just poking around and saw a few suggestions to do that. I haven't changed it. I just went out and took a look and see that for the 2004 it's right at the oil fill cap - very easy to get to. I don't see any leakage around it though - would I notice oil...

I have always done regular oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles on all the vehicles I've owned. With that said... The Libby goes through about a quart every 1,000 to 1,500 miles. So at the 5,000 mile mark I've replaced 3 to 5 quarts of oil. So wouldn't oil changes in vehicles that are...

ROADIAN AT II Tires by Nexen at TireBuyer.com Dan

Depends on what you're looking for. 80% of my time I'm on the highway so I didn't want massive off road tires. Also wanted some semblance of quiet. For the time being I picked up a set of Nexen Roadians. Not expensive and extremely quiet. Traction seems more than adequate for my needs. Dan

Hey, thanks for the offer. Haven't been up that way in a very long time. Used to run up to NYC periodically. I'll either paint them or take them off. As unimportant as it is, silver foil coming off some of the letters looks lousy. Dan

Very cool idea. That thought didn't cross my mind. Sounds like a great Instructables.com project. Dan
