    Power steering whine?

    I parked on a slope, front end up the hill and left it idling at the curb. When I got back in and took off, I had a constant whine. It was dark and I wasn't far from home so I just ran home. The whine didn't seem louder when turning, just changed with engine RPM. I really had no clue where the...

    Asking those who have done their own paint job at home

    I have gray interior and unpainted gray fender trim. But the body is burgundy. Last year I started to notice fading in the burgundy and a bit of sunburn on the clear. This winter it has really started to peel pretty rapidly. I have 250K so it doesn't make sense to take it to the body shop and...

    Anyone just driving with the ABS/ESP/Traction control christmas tree

    Just wondering if any of you have just said screw it on this system and just drive on with the dash lights on? I assume you just don't have ABS anymore nor the traction control? I'm kind of aggrivated with it and at the moment the dash is staying lit and I'm not having any stupid issues while...

    '07 died, now won't restart without pressing pedal

    OK so it's an '07. It cranked just fine, backed out of drive, all was fine. At the 3rd stop sign from home it died. A half mile drive from home. I am not 100% sure now, but I want to say it died just as I went to go. Wouldn't start back. I was on a slope and thankfully no one was behind me, so I...

    Faint whirrr coming to a stop

    My Liberty took a much needed 10 day vacation. Didn't crank or move for 10 days and I don't think that has ever happened the whole time I have owned it. So when it went back to work Monday, sometimes I would hear a faint whirrr sound right about just before coming to a full stop. At first I...

    Transmission fill level

    I need a bit of help on the transmission fill level. I have an 07 with no dipstick and a stock pan. I understand 2006 came with a dipstick I can probably buy and check the fluid with less frustration. On the other hand maybe there is a reason they removed the dipstick other than to make it a...

    Transmission scare VLP 42RLE

    So my liberty is an 07 with the VLP 42rle. One week ago on tuesday at dusk I was out. I backed onto the blacktop, shifted in drive and it pulled away. Going down the hill I think before it shifted from 1st to 2nd it revved up. I freaked out, let off, got back in the gas and it repeated. I...

    Paint with texture, but not sandpaper/griptape texture

    Well this is not just for my KJ but some other projects too... but I figured you guys would be the ones to ask about this particular idea I have in mind... I have done stuff with the Rustoleum Professional bedliner aerosol, which comes out really nice looking. Really easy on the eyes and just...

    There's not really a KJ replacement

    So recently I got a bad scare on my KJ. As I thought about the worst at the time, I looked around and realized there is not much of a good replacement for the KJ's and I really didn't find many for sale either. Am I just being biased here? Or do you guys feel the same way looking around...

    Key or WCM or PCM???

    So this is VERY ANNOYING. I think one of the 3 is bad, or maybe there is a wiring problem I haven't found, but I doubt it. Is there any way to confirm which is bad so that I know to just buy one, or buy all 3? Or go to dealer or find a car locksmith? Unfortunately I have only ever had one key...

    Wheel questions

    I have stock steel wheels which I think are 16x7. I haven't taken one off to try to measure backspacing etc. I got confused right away with there being backspace and offset in mm. All I grasp is simple things like say 16x7 with 4" backspace would mean 4" in and 3" out from the back of the hub...

    Replacing BFG's

    Hey guys, eventually I am going to have to replace my BFG T/A KO's. This for me has been the best all around tire for my uses, mostly because of the toughness and treadwear. I have been running them with fresh stock height suspension in 245/70R16 and have never had any rubbing. Only semi bad...

    Lost 5 mpg???

    So long story short I heard a sound which turned out to be a hole in the rubber elbow of my pcv pipe. I think basically it was just rotten and my spongebob filter in the airbox where the crankcase inlet air comes from got dirty enough that the vacuum caused the rotten boot to fail. I went and...

    Wondering if anyone also has a 4 door Wrangler or Ram?

    I'm curious if any KJ folks also happen to have a 4 door Wrangler or Ram? I've been wondering what the reliability is like on them and rather or not they are somewhat simple to work on like the Liberty? I've really had few problems along the way and I haven't had anything so far that I couldn't...

    2007 PCV and PCV vent hose?

    Hey guys, it looks like I am going to have to go to the dealer for these parts??? I heard a noise, couldn't figure out if it was like a singing idler bearing or a really sharp vacuum noise. It was too hot to pull the belt so I decided to check and cut the possibilities in half. So I pulled my...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    Since my tire guy can't get me 4 more General AT2 tires at the moment he has offered up a good deal on a leftover set of TA/KO and a good deal on the Rugged Terrain... the new tire not to be confused with the Rugged Trail. I have mauled this over and I just cannot decide. Both deals are...

    Suspension, cut corners but happy

    I wanted to take a sec to share my rare occurance of cutting some corners and actually ending up happy with the results. My ride was sad. I had to redo all the arms and ball joints and all that crap. My suspension was also very sad shot dead. I had the old saggy front springs situation...

    Which ball joint tool

    Time to freshen up. I need ball joints and a host of things as it all seems to be going south together. My friend just did his and said it was murder on the pressing. He rented the kit at Auto zone and said that was the issue. It wasn't quite right for the job. After taking all that in I...

    07 Sport Radiator (CarQuest?)

    It just keeps coming. Now the radiator is leaking somewhere. I already picked up a radiator from Advanced. It's a Car Quest one but I saw China on it.... So I was like I dunno, might should have had someone take me to the Jeep dealer. But bet they wouldn't have one on hand anyways. So I...
