    Diff & Command Trac.

    The settings on the transfer case only control what happens between the transfer case and the differentials. They have no control over what happens between the differentials and the wheels. So "part time" will lock the driveshafts in a 50/50 split and force both of them to spin equally all the...

    Best roof basket to buy and where?

    frascona...I have a suggestion. (whistle) I'm selling my basket. I live about 35 minutes from Lexington. This basket will mount to your Liberty Sport and you could mount lights to it if you wanted and I'm selling it for $40. I could bring it to your house. You won't find another basket...

    Local Wrangler ST Prices Unbelievable

    Yeah the Goodyear ST has a huge price tag...and the most terrible reviews I've ever seen on a tire in my life. Avoid them at all costs. I bought 255/70-16 General Grabber AT2 for $86 each at tirerack.com. They look just like the BFG ATs...perform just like them...for half the price! I have...

    Rancho RSX Shocks

    I have the equivalent to these shocks in the RS series, and they rattle and make noise like crazy...esp. when cold outside. Physically the RSX and RS shocks look the same. Same housing and shock body and everything. Only internal differneces. I wonder what the difference is that makes the...

    Slight Rattle

    I never have been able to get rid of the noise in my rear shocks. I've tried washers and everything else. Tightened them down with an air wrench. they are TIGHT...and still make that noise...mostly when it's cold outside.. I might put the factory shocks back on...they don't rattle and they...

    Front Tow Hooks

    Yes you can. The 2004 and older models were a nightmare. I did my wife's '04 without removing the bumper, but it was a royal pain in the ***. The '05 and newer models are cake. I did my '05 tow hooks in 5 minutes flat. Everything is visible and simple to get to. Good luck.

    Wrecked KJ

    Yeah, whatever it was hit the rear wheel/tire directly. The windows are all in tact, and there is no sign of an impact to the body directly. Looks to me like a small car slammed directly into the rear axle from the side or rear corner.

    Storage??? (twitch-twitch...)

    Just keep in mind that from a mechanical standpoint, not driving a vehicle is worse for it than driving it. So storing your Jeep away for a long period of time and not driving it could be bad for it's "health". You want to make sure that somebody starts it up and drives it periodically...even...

    Gas Tank Skid Question

    Cool. (cool)

    Gas Tank Skid Question

    Somebody said torque the bolts to 65 ft./lbs. Are you sure that's enough? With a 5,000 lb. capacity hitch and a heavy steel skid plate back there I think I'd want to get the bolts a little tighter than that. Or at least use thread lock or something. What do you guys think?

    Trailer brake question

    Yeah the brake light switch is the brown/white one going into the harness above the pedal. The brake signal is behind the driver side kick panel in a white plastic box. It's flagged "BRAKE". Power and ground go through the firewall to the battery. Just like they all said. It took me a while...

    Difficulties when shifting from 4FT -> 4LO

    yup there is a "gate" there you have to shift around. pull to the right, then back and it'll go into low range. it's best to be rolling slowly forward with the tranny in neutral when you do this.

    Gas Tank Skid Question

    Yeah that's what I do. If I can't find a helping hand I get a floor jack out and that becomes my extra hands. (whistle) The gas tank skid is the only one I don't have. Maybe I'll get that one for Christmas or something. :) I've been wondering if it would work with the factory receiver...

    How is the Day Star 2.5"

    I only have a few pictures at my cardomain site. www.cardomain.com/ride/2164878 The install isn't too bad but I recommend two guys. It's helpful to have someone hold down that rear axle on each side while you pop the spacers in. The front required a shop press to compress the coil spring...

    Haunted

    The Body Control Module controls all these functions. The BCM frequently fails on these KJs and then weird things happen. My wife's interior lights would just come on by themselves at random times and her horn would just beep while she was driving. It was weird. You might want to have your...

    Diff Fluid Change

    The rear diff. is simple in concept, but actually doing it is much harder. It's NOT a 10 minute job. And these KJs are harder than pickup trucks because the fuel tank is in the way. Good tip on jacking up the rear of the Jeep for more access to the diff! Anyway...the hardest parts are...

    Hellas from the factory?

    If Hella is the company making the fog lights for Jeep KJs...then I just instantly lost all respect for their company. I can't keep up with all the people having to get them replaced under warranty...

    start a post about our own perfect KJ

    My Jeep + six speed manual, more leg room, and quality seats would be perfect.

    Stopping

    Yeah like they said. Anytime you get taller tires you are putting more leverage on your brake system. It's the same principle as if you use a 6" ratchet and you can't get a nut loose...you go grab a 10" ratchet and it comes free. With the longer ratchet you get more leverage, therefore more...
