Brake lights not working....help
Disassemble the brake light housing from the vehicle and look inside at the bulb contacts. I had this problem on mine. Took me months to figure it out. Turned out the plastic had melted a bit and was preventing connections. Found the previous owner had put the wrong bulbs in and they generated...- Johnny O

Survey on AT tires being used
Toyo AT3s on the Liberty, 58 VW Bug and wifey's Outback. KO3s on the Rubicon. KO3s are worth every penny if you can find/afford them.- Johnny O

New to the Liberty -- how many miles can I expect
Mine (well sortra mine- I gave it to my kid) has over 300k on it. Still the factory drive train. 200k of that is mine and about 50k miles off road and bouncing through the desert. If the price is right, nothing wrong with that mileage. Like any vehicle, do your maintenance, keep an eye out for...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Got the new starter in Bert. All is well. Up and running on the factory drive train with 300k miles on it. Kids bought the wrong one initially. After a talk with the guys at NAPA (Oh, yeah, forgot to mention their regional manager is a friend I've done business with for decades) Got a brand new...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Wifey had major surgey and is recovering well, so finally had some time to work on Bert in between wound care and drain purges (gross even by Biologist standards)... Replaced starter. Greased the JBAs. Cleaned the snorkel pre and post filters. Re-wired the rear spot lights. Polished headlamp...- Johnny O

Bert is in my driveway...won't start...
I do not like 'em either, but their return policy is pretty good. For reference, most parts dealers do the same thing.- Johnny O

Hmmm. Electrical is good. Suspect is wrong starter or is improperly torqued. Tough to troubleshoot when you don't know what all happened.- Johnny O

Dang kids never listen. I told them Bert (2007 KJ 3.7L) was old and tired and deserved to be taken care of and only used around town. Instead of having me troubleshoot a starting issue, they just threw a new starter in on their own. Good for them... Then they drove it down to Lincoln, NE an...- Johnny O

Bert needs a starter
Hey gang. Long time since I posted KJ stuff. I don't get it. 325k miles and the factory starter went out... Son-in-law actually swallowed his pride and asked me for help. This is good, as I'm making him do the work and strictly stuporvising. However, never had to do a starter job.l on...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yeah, too dang cold here to DIY it, plus I get alignments done at the Local DIY garage, local veteran owned. 75$ with military discount. My garage is three inches short to fit the Jeeps, so most work is done in the driveway.- Johnny O
