The '02 is officially at the shop. Going to go pull the motor tonight to get things kicked off. Donor engine is a 4.7L HO out of an '04 Grand Cherokee. All parts, with the exception of the remanufactured block, fuel line, intake manifold, and oil pan, are brand new. Unlike other folks that...

Tjkj2002, How does the SFA kit connect to the 3.7 motor mounts? Do you think that the 4.7l mounts, specifically Grand Cherokee mounts, could potentially present a problem with installing the kit? I don't believe that a problem would exist getting everything properly set up. But you can...

How do the folks who run 37"+ tire sizes properly balance everything while using beadlock wheels? Dynabeads? Weights? Both? This is one of those questions that I've always been curious about, and now that I am officially going to be running 37s with beadlocks, the question has become...

I want to run with these under the liberty, but I'm curious as to whether or not a 15x10 beadlock will provide sufficient coverage without wearing the tires down prematurely. Yes, I know they are massively heavy. Thoughts?

Passenger-side axle got sent back to the factory because it was too short, light wheeling over the weekend caused the drivers-side axle to bind up and rip clean off the front differential leaving me sans 4x4 drive and spinning the rear wheels (even locked) to no avail. Due to the...

So I am considering going with a full ORI strut solution as opposed to coilovers/shocks/springs. I've read nothing but good things about them and I also have a friend who constantly sings the praises about how much the ORIs have improved his TJ's overall ride and stability. They also have the...

This question is more for tjkj2002 than anyone else, but I figured that other folks who are considering the SFA option may find the info useful. What was the issue that you experienced with this particular set of brakes? I was initially leaning towards them, but Martin has instead recommended...

Yesterday I had the triangulated 4-link installed in my '02. It made a huge and immediate difference in overall rear stability. That poor rear upper control arm just wasn't made for keeping all that weight stabilized over the rear axle -especially the tank that I'm rolling. My Liberty's rear...

Hey everyone. Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the tie rod/linkage on the '02? I was thinking about something similar to this: Kartek Off Road - Tie Rods Still trying to dig up an exploded view of the Liberty rack and pinion to see what the parts are called and whether or not...

First off, I have a serious opportunity to go forward with this as a project. I've been told that its definitely doable by one of the guys that I ride with, but that I'd be crazy because of the IFS regardless of having a D30s/RCV CV axles. I was told that my ring an pinion would be too small...

After months and of waiting on parts to and undoing crap work from a crap mechanic, the '02 is finally finished! In the beginning there was ....a busted upper ball joint. Minus all the RL gear, but still a cool shot.

Just for curiosity's sake, let's say that I wanted to swap the stock Chrysler 8.25 out for a stock width D44. What axle would be the optimum donor? How much of a hassle would it be to accomodate the swap? You know, for science's sake. ;)

I am currently swapping out for 4.88 gears on my '02 Liberty. The set has <500 miles on it. Front and rear ring and pinion. I will post detailed photos of everything on Tuesday. Anyone out there interested?

Are the springs that ship with the JBA 6" lift strong enough to support an ARB front bumper, D30S, front/rear Air Lockers, Skid Row front and engine/tranny skid, along with Rock Lizard Super Skink Sliders, Gecko Basket Rack, and the HD Rear Bumper that will carry a spare 33x12.50 + Hi-Lift Jack...

Since the installation of my JBA 6" lift I've been trying to find a way to get my front camber back to a neutral position and maintain a lifted front end. The lower control arms are completely maxed out with regards to camber, and now I had to adjust my front coilovers so that they sit roughly...

My liberty is an '02 Limited 3.7 riding with stock exhaust. I want it to sound a bit more throaty as well as pull a few more horses. So, to those that have experience in the exhaust upgrade department, what are my options? What should I avoid? What's the best of the best?

Just wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone. I'm obviously new here, as well as new to off-roading. I have some lofty goals for my '02 KJ and, with a bit of guidance from the helpful folks here, I am looking forward to building out a fairly aggressive rock climber! Cheers! Honduras

Hey peeps. Honduras here. This is my first post to the board and I have a question about tire width for my recent jeepinbyal 6" lift for my '02 KJ. Is it possible to run with a 33-12.50 tire set with a 4" offset and be able to avoid the dreaded tire rubbing? I think it may be possible with...
