    What does Trail Rated add to a 2006 Sport?

    I have seen plenty with no badge at all, no Sport, Limited or anything, just a Libby 4x4 with v6 auto. The limited/sport/renegade simply meant it had some base addons that changed what core features were on it. So, if you were at the dealer and ordering your Libby from the factory... and you...

    Stock LightBar transplant

    Managed to score a stock light bar from a wrecked Renegade of the same year as our Limited unit... 2003 Thing is I did not expect they were bolted to the roof? Has anyone transplanted one of these before? How should I go about this without drilling holes and causeing water ingress.. We live...

    Heavy duty rear coils

    Strongly agree with KJowner there... there are two types of hitches as well, take note if you have 4 bolt or 6 bolts to the frame. if only 4 bolts I would hesitate to put a dirt bike on the hitch... A quad... trailer only for a little Jeep... Also keep in mind that useing a spacer lift you...

    Suspension upgrade

    IMO, when you have an older KJ you have sagged worn out springs, likely lost 1" from stock... ASSUMEING EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOOD! This is an easy fast fix, just put in H&R 1.5" lift springs with stock shocks (new would likely be good) and new bumpstops. Nothing else needed. At this age the...

    ASFIR 4x4 skid plates

    These are actually rated pretty high for a small vehicle, ours has the hitch with 6 bolts to the uni-frame and with the HD cooling system its actually rated to 5000lb

    ASFIR 4x4 skid plates

    TQVM for this info, as many pics as possible please!! including pre mounted :) I am still quite likely to build my own... would it have been possible to mount the skid over the hitch rather than under it? to maintain hitch max strength I am thinking....

    new to forum. jeep liberty issue

    its worth grabbing a cheap Bluetooth scanner and get an app on your ph, you can get them literally under $10 I use an app called Torque and if you get a cheap ELM327 you have to do a little fiddling, disable fast communication usually, most work fine to just pull OBD codes. This one is on Amazon

    2003 KJ - fail of 4wd for a short time.

    ok, this is makeing some sense, tho it was quite a bit of messing about to get it to lock in... I was on an icy hill, brakes on no wheel spin, went from 2wd to 4pt and released the brake, rear spin only, brake on, wait a sec, slight gas-still 2wd only. Did the same in 4ft, did all this over and...

    P0507 Code but idle seems fine

    I believe your issue is in fact the IAC system and you should clean the ports to/from it. I believe the idle is just a little higher than the system is trying to set, caused by gunk preventing the IAC from closing properly. I recently had an idle issue where no codes at all were being...

    2003 KJ - fail of 4wd for a short time.

    thats really weird to me, but I dont actually know how the tcase is setup... I thought the lever ran a cable direct to the tcase shifter arm and that arm was directly connected to the shift fork... so it if the lever moves it has to engage... is it maybe spring loaded somewhere in between?

    2003 KJ - fail of 4wd for a short time.

    So today I was driveing on wet pavement on the hwy and thus in 2wd, I turned off onto a packed down snow road and on the fly but at slow ish speed I selected PT4wd and proceeded. As I started up an incline on the road, it started to spin, rear only... confused I slowed, had to anyhow...

    ASFIR 4x4 skid plates

    Suggest you contact them to make certain, Since the CRD KJ had a different transmission than the gasser after 2002/03 perhaps they only fit the CRD due to that? IDK as the gas tank skid I would think would fit all years KJ... Let us know plz...

    2003 OBD O2 errors and a weird way they cleared...

    Hi all, so my daughter got this KJ and we have been fixing a few things up. Got it cheap so we expected to be working on it :) One of the errors was upstream and downstream O2 sensor codes, so I got a pair of nice new NTK upstream O2 sensors and put them in. I chose not to do the down stream...

    2003 KJ ECU(18) Engine Coolant temp reading

    Hi all, I have been monitoring sensors on the KJ via OBD useing the Torque app. I have a strange reading that I dont know what to make of it. The Engine coolant temp shows what I expected at 92C but there is another reading called ECU(18) Engine Coolant Temperature that shows -32c with ambient...

    Minimal/No Lift Suspension Upgrade

    I have not read his posts, but I am 100% certain of what I said. If the top out and bottom out points do not change the only reason to add a bump stop is to allow for larger tires to prevent rub. In doing so however you are reducing the overall amount of travel. This is regarding stock length...

    Minimal/No Lift Suspension Upgrade

    a spring only lift does change the upward swing but not the total swing. The total travel is unchanged, the max and min locations are unchanged, the system will bottom out and top out in the same location. Thus bump stop alteration is not needed. The difference is where the vehicle rides...
