Hey all - I've been doing a lot of routine maintenance in my Jeep lately (03 KJ Limited with 170k miles) with the hopes of getting another solid 10k miles out if it before moving on. It runs amazingly well. However, I do have a nagging oil leak (not enough to require more oil during normal...

Guys: I pretty much drive 98% of the time in 2WD. Last time I used 4WD Full Time was about 2-3 months ago. I never use 4WD Part Time or Lo. It's been ~2 years since I changed diff and transfer case oil, so I'll get on that soon. Yesterday I was cleaning the inside of my Liberty (car off) and...

Hi guys: I am trying to direct wire an accessory so that it turns on when the car is on (or at least acc is on) and I am trying to wire it directly to the wiring in the overhead console. There are basically these options --wiring it to the homelink panel, wiring to the overhead lights, and...

Hi guys -- I am planning a drive with my Liberty to California from Illinois in the next few weeks. I have a Rola roof carrier basket along with their expandable hitch tray cargo bag and a bungee cargo net. While this has served me well for camping, I've always been near the car overnight...

Hi guys -- a couple years ago I noticed a small tear on the innner CV joint boot on my driver's front axle. I patched it up with black RTV and it has been leak free through 2 winters (not bad). In any case, it has reopened and although not much grease has splatted out, I realize it is time to...

Hi guys -- I posted previously about having some difficulty with my parking brake. While I think I have the shoes and hardware sorted, I researched some more and saw that a frozen parking brake actuator is relatively common. Well, it certainly is the case on my car. Upon reinspection both...

Hi guys, earlier today I replaced pads, rotors, and parking brake shoes/hardware on my '03 Liberty (136,000 miles). Parking brake hasn't worked in some time, so I figured the shoes were toast. And confirmed - they were basically nonexistent. In any case, after replacing the shoes and hardware...

Hi guys, just swapped in a new Mopar radiator in my 03 KJ. It was a pain wrangling the original radiator out and dumb me loosened on of the a/c system bolts for like 2 seconds. Of course, it continued to hiss for several minutes or anytime I jiggled the a/c radiator. Do I need to do anything...

Guys, I've had my 2003 Liberty since new (Dec. 2002). I vaguely remember taking it in to have a recall done on the rear suspension (was it bearings or ball joints) a couple years after I got it. Now I am seeing the variety of recalls on Libertys for ball joints but the recent ones seem to...

Hey guys -- I have an '03 Liberty LE with about 117K on it. Great car...been rock solid. In any case, for the past 6 months I've noticed a strong smell and whitish smoke after driving the car for a few minutes and stopping at a stoplight. I had trouble pinpointing it but felt like it was...
