Are there any secrets to getting at the oil filter? I normally pull and flex the bottom of the bumper panel (air dam?) out and squeeze my arm up in there, but it scratches the heck out of my arm. Am I missing an easier way to access it?

Hey Tom, what package would you recommend I get? I'm just trying to smooth out the ride. I don't do any offroading.

My 2004 Liberty is in need of some new front struts/coilovers. Unfortunately I don't have the money to do a lift kit, so I plan to replace them with normal Monroe Quickstruts. All of the bushings that I see are in pretty rough shape, such as the bushings on the clevis bracket, upper control...

Changed the rear differential oil. Used Mobil1 75-90.

Can anyone confirm for sure that this is NOT a Track-Lok rear diff that I have on my 2004 Columbia Edition? The sticker on the axle is not readable.

As far as security for these crossbars goes, the best idea I could come up with is to replace the thumbscrews with allen bolts, and then turn the attachment assemblies around to put the bolts on the inside. I got these 8mm stainless steel bolts at the hardware store: I then took out all four...

It turns out it's a self-tapping screw. I left the front as is and chopped a little off the back to even them up. I put a little spraypaint on the cut end and then drilled a small pilot hole for the screw at 1/4" back from the end. Here is what they look like evened up with 2 5/8" of...

Awesome! Please take some pictures of that once you get it installed. I'm considering the Rola basket too and want to see how it looks on these crossbars. Here are some more pics of the crossbars installed. I have the overhang of the bars as close to perfectly centered on my roof rails as I...

I'll take some more pictures in the daylight tomorrow.

Can you post some photos of your rig?

Thanks for the info. That makes sense, I noticed that I was sitting a little higher than some other stock KJs. I will grab some pics from underneath to confirm, but I'm pretty sure it's stock.

I believe the paperwork said 150 lbs. The factory roof rails would break long before these bars would bend in my opinion. Edit, oops, just saw this was already answered.

Replaced my vent visors today. I noticed the glue strips were going bad and separating, so I called Lund Auto Vent Shade and they sent me some new tape. As I was removing them, I cracked two of the vent shades. I called Lund again and they sent me a brand new set for free! I used this to...

I just recently purchased this used 2004 KJ with 107,000 miles on it. Does this look like the factory ride height, or does it look like it's been lifted?

Installed a new stereo. Amazon.com: Pioneer DEH-X6500BT CD Player w/ Built-In Bluetooth & iPod/iPhone Control: Electronics Has an external mic for calls and voice control (via Bluetooth) that I hid behind the rubber trim on the A-pillar and behind the dash.

I'm usually a Thule guy, but I found these crossbars and thought I would give them a try. I'm very impressed with them, especially for the money. They clamp on tight, nice and low, and seem sturdy. The only down side is that there are no locks. I might replace the plastic thumb screw bolts...

I'm interested in seeing your plans. If you email them to me, I can post them up for you. PM me for my email address if you're interested.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I recently purchased a 2004 KJ Columbia Edition with 107,000 miles on it. This site has been saving me tons of money by showing me how to change all the fluids and do all the routine maintenance that needs to be done to this rig. I noticed all the HOWTOs always...

Newbie question: Should I use ATF-4 in my transfer case even if I have a manual transmission?
