I am currently have way through installing the OME 2.5 inch lift. All I have left to do is to switch out the old springs and shocks with the new ones on the front. How do you guys put the new struts in? I unbolted the uca ball joint to get more clearance, but still had to unbolt the clevis fork...

Now that I'm settling down from the jeep bug, I finally have (mostly) a plan for spring time. I want to be able to go through the suspension and fully replace any worn out parts. I would get the OME 1.5 inch lift if funds allow it. What else would be a good thing to change/replace outside of the...

Since I replaced my radiator on Monday, I've been tracking my coolant temps occasionally while driving to and from work. It's varies between 195-204 degree's Fahrenheit with city driving when warmed up. I was testing it in 4wd this morning and it went up to 219 degrees! It's the beginning of...

Last night, I decided to turn on my lightbar for fun. When I had the key on the on position and pressed the switch, nothing happened. I could turn on the lights and the switch would light up, but nothing else. When I checked it this morning, it worked fine until the fourth time I turned it on. I...

I know the Wranglers are able to start in 4-lo without the clutch. I don't know if the KJs also have the clutch lockout disabled in 4-lo. If they do, is there a safe(r) way of starting after a stall? I know about having my left foot on the brake, but that's about it. Sent from my Lumia 1520...

Since I am going to be getting a hitch installed next week, I'm wondering what location/s are safe to hook up to for emergency towing without a hitch hook. I have a rear tow hook, but from my understanding, is not compatible with a hitch installed.

I'm going to be up in Estes Park next weekend.:happy160: I'm looking at Johnny Park Road, Pierson Park Road, and possibly Hell Canyon Road. I'm wondering how they are for a stock KJ with only one trail under my belt and a stock Silverado Z71. I'm mostly looking at the tamer trails and from what...

I ended up getting a General Electric 3-5809c CB radio for free. The problem is that the previous owner did not keep the box or manual for it. I have searched for hours and have not gotten anything. I can't even find what years they were made. I don't know if anyone here has owned or used one...

This is a fundraising event for the Susan G Koman Foundation. It is held by the Colorado Springs Chapter of Military Jeepers at RAM Offroad Park in Colorado Springs on September 27th, 2014. Upcoming Events | RAM Off-Road Park I don't know of any KJ owners in Colorado that have gone to the...

I'm planning on installing Detroit True Tracks front and rear next summer. Since the diffs are going to be out anyway, I was wondering if it would be worth it to install 4.10 gearing while I'm at it. Since flat roads are almost non-existent and I usually max out at 50mph 95% of the time, would...

I'm looking into getting a Detroit TruTrack installed. This would be my first time digging into a diff and am wondering how difficult it would be installing one at home. I could get the bearings pressed on the lsd close to where I live and rent the tool to check the backlash. How difficult is...

I have noticed that the stock air intake is different in the 02 and 03 3.7l compared to the 04 and newer 3.7l. The hose between the stock airbox and the throttle body are different. Is their a specific reason for the design change and are they interchangeable? In the 02 and 03 models, they have...

I was just looking around one day to get more familiar with my KJ. When I was looking under the driver's seat, I found two random wire connectors under it. It's a manual seat with no heaters. Cant tell where they go to or what they're for. Anyone else notice these connections?

I'm wondering where, if any, the location of the GCVW info is posted on a KJ. There's a GVWR on the driver's door sticker, but not the GCVW. Nothing important, just planning ahead if the fuel tank recall ever happens.

I had to see how my liberty did offroad. I decided on Schubarth Trail and ended up getting my first trail rash. I didn't take many pictures due to my first time out. I did take a video and am editing it to go on YouTube.

My Kj has been driving fine for the past 1500 miles with no problems. I went to go get dinner and it ran fine. When I was on the way back, it was sputtering and the CEL was flashing only when accelerating. I have not checked for a code, but would this be related to a misfire?

I've been curious about the extra set of teeth on the left side of the pinion gear. I've seen it on every rear end I've looked at. I don't know what it is or if it has a purpose. :hmm::think: I finally had to give in to curiosity and ask if anybody else knows what it is and what it's used for.

I was checking the brake pads since I haven't done that since I bought my KJ. I had new tires installed a week after I bought it. Apparently they cross threaded one lug nut on the right rear and it ended up taking part of the lug with it. Is installing a new one something that can be done at...

I have a 2003 Liberty Renegade with a 3.7L and manual transmission. From my understanding is that it has the NV3500 transmission. I changed the fluid in it two days ago. The fill plug ended up on the drivers side of the tranny. From what I've read is that the NV3500 fill plug is on the...

I ended up getting Meguiar's white wax to try out. Since Colorado doesn't have spring, (40 degrees and snowing in May) I pulled my KJ into the garage and started washing and waxing (and two other projects). It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it added depth to the paint. I'll add more...
