After 12 and a half years of being the original owner of my KJ I'm ready to pass it on to the next owner. I'll be posting to the for sale section of this forum once I get it washed and pretty for pictures. I definitely want to give this community first shot at it before I try to sell it locally...

I installed a battery disconnect for when I don't drive it for a few weeks. Will disconnecting the battery for a while cause the rear window to pop open? I plan on garaging it but just in case I leave it in the driveway would like to know. I vaguely remember reading that it would happen (could...

I originally had a BDS 2" lift and had a CV's done at the same time since they were original at 102K. I upgraded to a JBA 2.5" lift 25K miles later and had to replace both CV's again. Now 15K miles later I found out the intermediate shaft was never replaced like I asked and now the passenger...

I'm posting to see if anyone has this combo of skid plates: Skid Row engine skid and 4x Guard front skid (from JBA.) I'm still on crutches so I brought my KJ to my local guy to install the front guard for me. First things first the Skid Row engine skid does not have mounting holes for the 4x...

My ARB bumper came with LED turn signals and now they are blinking at twice the rate. After some research I'm told it is because LEDs draw less power, so the computer thinks the bulb is burnt out (I did not know that faster flashing was a warning message.) I found a fix for it on this forum...

Hey all, I have JBA 2.5' lift and front adjustable struts with about 8000 miles on them. Next week i'll have an ARB front bumper and winch installed. I got these struts last year because I knew i was putting a bumper on in the future so my question is how much should they be dialed up to...

Anyone going to the Bantam Jeep festival in Butler, PA this June?

Hey all, anyone have a heater core leak in their KJ? I've noticed a growing wet spot on drivers side floor lately. Being winter time I chalked it up to my wet boots. Well, Jeep has been garaged for a bit and everything dried out but this area. Cant tell if it smells sweet but feels oily. Any...

Bad transfer case or front driveshaft? Took the Liberty on a 500 mile journey and it ran awesome on the highway (65-75mph) but the 20 minutes in 4WD up and down my camp road was a different story. It this the fabled "Angry Sparrows?" (whining noise from front of jeep at end of video clip)...

So I'm ready to pull the trigger on an ARB front bumper, then I'll be "done" ( well, then a winch, on-board air, rear locker...so almost done ha!) However a little voice in my head is telling me to save the $$ because I'm at 135K on the original motor and transmission which may need replacing...

So I've finally been enjoying my Liberty this summer after a long spell of repairs. The past few weeks I'm noticing my dash temp gauge climbing a bit, mostly on hill ascent. First time was after 6 hours wheeling so I figured it was pretty warm already (electric fan was running most of the day)...

In a previous thread I mentioned my rig developed a terrible squeak after installing a lift, new JBA UCA's, and new front and rear LCA's. Tom Mudd mentioned that I should have the bushings re-torqued with tires on the ground as they may have been tightened with wheels in the air. I'm doing that...

My 2005 KJ has been in the shop for two months getting all new suspension, steering rack, HD battery, and several other things. So today is the day I finally go to pick it up. I received an email early this morning from the shop that Jeep was done but had a bad coil pack which they ordered and...

Been without the Liberty for over 6 weeks. I'm getting a little antsy. Marlin from JBA said Bilstein shocks are on backorder and my coilover lift needs em! Lesson learned, next time don't bring the Jeep to the shop until the parts are there. Got lots of other goodies installed and issues solved...

This past year I went from almost selling my Liberty to now going all-in and fixing it up right. I have a Subaru for my DD now so that gives me some leeway to create a more-capable off road rig. Thanks to all of this forum's members for your advice over the years. Ditching the 2" BDS lift and...

Hey all, I had re-manned NAPA CV's installed about 15K miles ago in my front end. I've been running a 2" BDS lift for 33K with JBA UCA's added 20K ago. Jeep has been driving crappy lately like it was before all the stock worn-out components were replaced. Took it in to the dealers express...

My original water pump on my 2005 Renegade seized at 62K. I was just getting off the highway after a 4 hour trip and made it a mile off the exit when it went. That was not a fun day, but could have been worse at highway speeds. I'm now at 132K and am hearing what I think is the same sound I...

Circumstances dictate that I must sell my 2005 Liberty with a little over 131K miles. I'm asking $7000. I figured I would give forum members first crack at it as its a great rig. I am the original owner and all work has been done at the dealership or reputable off-road shops. Its only seen...

I saw a nice lifted CRD with an ARB bumper near my work today, the first lifted Liberty other than mine I have ever seen in this area. Once I Photoshop out the license plate I'll post my crappy cell phone picture.
