We have an '02 Limited that has been essentially trouble-free up to this point. We hate the gas mileage and threaten to get rid of it constantly over that, but otherwise have been reasonably happy with it. We have 2 older cars though with high mileage and have to decide which one we're going...

Our '02 Liberty LTD has just rolled over 90k miles. Am probably going to have my father in law, a former mechanic, go over the items recommended for checking/service in the manual at this point. Was previously considering and would normally just take it to an independent mechanic, but would...

I just called the dealer to see what it would cost to add the factory tow package to my '02 Limited--$373 for parts plus $475 more for labor. $850 for a tow package? I could just buy the factory parts somewhere then shop for an indy to install I suppose--but is there a aftermarket package...

Our '02 Limited's battery died and I was wanting to go with an Optima. I figured it would be pretty simple to go to Costco and figure out what to buy but the book was pretty uninformative. From the Optima website it looks like they recommend a red-top (Group Number: 25 (9025-160)) but the...

I purchased my '02 Liberty LTD used--and though I take it on some light offroad trails occasionally I'm really not familiar with lift kits and offroad equipment in general. I do now need new tires for my Jeep--so I'm trying to know what I have so I can replace them with the best option...

Am needing to replace some 255/70/16 Scorpions that are on my '02 Liberty LTD. Was looking to go to General Grabber AT2s--but I'm noticing the higher load rating (E) is only available in 245/75/16s in this tire. Really unsure about the difference between the AT2s vs. the Scorpions as it is in...

In my '02 Liberty (I bought the car used) I have this plug thing under the driver's side dash towards the right that I'm unsure the purpose of. Here's the photo: http://www.reconceive.com/jeep/plug.jpg Anyone have an idea what this is for? Thanks, Scott

Anyone know of any sources where independent shops are reviewed / recommended? Would like to find a recommended place to take our '02 for some emissions-related work. I'm sure if I go to the dealer for this it will be a total rape job.

I have an '02 Limited, and am trying to decide how I'm going to connect my Ipod to it. Just verifying--the cool Mopar integration kit is only for like, '05s and '06s? It seems to me the primary option is to disconnect the CD changer and go with a 3rd party solution. I'd rather leave...

Got a check engine light on our '02 Liberty and the code turned out to be: Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak) Anyone know what this repair is going to be? Is this common? The Liberty has 60k on it. Thanks, Scott

Saw some old threads about Rusty's air tube but none of them really went so far as to say there was a definitely MPG or HP gain after install. Presumably, those that installed theirs would have now had some time to evaluate--any opinions on the performance of this item? Any feedback would...

I've called the 800#s that I have for Jeep customer service (800-992-1997) and also (800-853-1403) and get the impression these are just minimum wage stiffs that couldn't care less about a situation I deem very serious. My attempts to escalate at these phone numbers were unsuccessful (they say...

When calling Jeep about a completely unrelated subject I was told after they ran my VIN that the following recall had not been done: http://www.automotive.com/2002/49/jeep/liberty/recalls/26223.html I just bought my "Certified" '02 Limited at a "five-star" Chrysler dealer like 6 weeks...

Was trying to figure out what kind of air filter is in the preowned Liberty I recently bought. Is this stock? I was surprised to find a panel filter in here, actually. The stock filter isn't a panel-type filter, is it? I haven't been able to determine who makes this filter though. Any...

There was a thread back in March on this I found in a search that I tried to revive without success so I guess I'll start a new one. Wanted to see if anyone had pics of the left footrests/dead pedals they created for the KJ. Going to undertake this little project myself and wanted to see what...

I've noticed on some Liberties there is a little plastic panel at the bottom center of the rear window glass, presumably there to give you something to push on when closing the rear glass. As it stands now, I don't have anything on the glass (and, inevitably, I'm getting my prints all over...

As an addendum to the "front seats are killing me" thread posted earlier, I'm wondering if anyone has somehow successfully modded the front seats so they sit lower in the car. It seems with a little ingenuity (and/or special parts) this is an accomplishable task. I'm not the tallest person in...

Always thought Jeeps looked better without the spare tire cover over the spare in the back. Is that "protection from the elements" worth having though? Does that cover really help? Opinions? Thanks,

Considering making these upgrades to attempt to squeeze a little more gas mileage out of the Liberty--but it won't be worth it if the result is really obnoxious cabin noise. Some like a loud growling engine, that's not something I'm looking for in the Liberty though. And actually the V6...

I'm getting notified in my personal email account that I'm getting PMs (3 from Bennett) but when I go to my PM inbox there's nothing there. Someone in another thread suggested I report it here, so there you go. PM definitely isn't working right for me.
