    Only One Word...

    Like the bumper sticker says... "SHITLBUFOUT" Actually it's not that bad. I scored a low mileage replacment on ebay for $125 + $75 shipping. It took me 3 hours in my shop to tear down the whole IFS front end to get the axle out. I expect it will take twice that long to put it all...

    That's how I kept the oil in on the drive home.

    Believe me when I tell you that there are a few boulders on that trail :) I slipped off one of them a little too fast and the pumpkin hit a rock and stopped cold while the passenger side un-sprung running gear kept going. It snapped the axle tube just like a long stick snaps when whipped...

    radiator fan help

    What Liberty do you have? KJ or KK, gas or diesel, 4 cylinder or V6? It sounds like its running way too hot! Just under the half way mark on the temperature gauge corresponds to the thermostat opening point which (I think) is 195 degrees. The cooling system is designed to stay in that...

    Need help with Winch

    It sounds to me like perhaps the woodruff key is sheared off or has come out of it's slot in the motor shaft. Anyway, the winch is new so no point in trying to fix it. I don't know about Smittybuilt, but Warn is certainly not the only good quality winch out there. Ramsey and Superwinch come...

    Wet dashboard

    Holy Ouch! Can you park it in the hot sun, with all windows and sunroof open and a fan or 2 blowing around full blast on, under and around the dash and seats? to air dry... I think you will be alright if you can get it to air dry...

    Catalytic Converter Help

    Beg, borrow or steal an OBDII scan tool. Plug it in under the dash, warm up the engine and look at the O2 sensor wave forms and the short term and long term fuel trims. This may very well show you what's going on. Please don't destroy your catalytic converters...

    New Guy W/Problems...

    No guessing about it. Your GF cooked it pretty good. My wife (formerly known as GF) cooked her PT Cruiser when the electric fan failed once on a lovely 110 degree afternoon. She saw the temp gauge peg. She saw the steam and smelled the sickly sweet vaporized glycol. She even saw the engine...

    '05 Liberty "Check Engine" light on...Help please!

    1) Did they analyze an oil sample to check for fuel or coolant in the oil? Try a large, well respected independent auto mechanic shop in your area (sometimes the dealers can suck). Oil contaminants are the tell tale signs of a head gasket leak. Such a test should cost about $50. I didn't...

    Dropped Rocker Concern...

    By the way, A soft bristle brush and Throttle Body cleaner is a great way to get the throttle body bore and butterfly sparkling clean! If you do use a brush, make sure it has a metal wire handle so that it will stick to a powerful magnet tied to a string. This way you can retrieve it from the...

    Dropped Rocker Concern...

    Thanks LibertyTC for the good advice. It does run well, really perfect in fact. It idled kinda rough when I bought it. Not awful but sort of stumbling around and hunting the rpm a little bit. I tuned it up and in doing so replaced the spark plugs with the same type I found in there, NGK...

    High mileage club

    I just sold my 2003 with the 4 cylinder Power Tech engine, 5 speed trans and 4x4. I drove it for 300,000 miles and never had any serious trouble until the last 25,000 mile. It was pretty much falling apart at the end...

    Dropped Rocker Concern...

    I'm not new to KJs but I am new to the 3.7 liter V6. I've recently bought and done a little build up on a 2004 KJ and its running really well with 92,000 miles on the clock. It was obvious that the previous owner's maintenance was average at best. I'm concerned about what I've read...

    Laugh if you want. That looked like the fairest and most honest/ realistic automotive performance commercial I've ever seen. They set those grocery getters on just the type of obstacle course that they are suited for, which is hardly any obstacle whatsoever. I've owned 2 KJ Jeeps and a Land...

    NV3500 Or Different Trans

    My 5 speed NV3500 also has the filter plug on the driver's side. Maybe you read something from a country where right hand drive is the standard?
