    Barrie, Ontario - Moabs

    Hey folks, just saw this one thought I'd share - it's not mine. Luke, is that you? :) 16 x 8, 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern. Pretty beat up but not a bad price. I'd probably take a closer look if I had the cash (and paint them black!), but now's not the time unfortunately...

    The "Warped" Brake Disc and Other Myths

    This is an interesting article about brakes I read a while back and bookmarked. I'm curious to hear what others think about this... hope it's not as big a can of worms as discussing oil ;) http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_warped_brakedisk.shtml

    P0700, p1775

    Last night the CEL lit up. As I knew my step-daughter had just filled it with gas, my first thought was to check the gas cap. It was in fact loose. I tightened it up, and hoped the light would go away. No luck. When I got home I pulled the codes and got the following...

    Jeep Radio/Flashlight/Radio/Compass/Etc

    I was at Princess Auto in Newmarket, Ontario today (it's a Canadian thing!), and saw these right beside the ammo boxes... pretty cool, and immediately appealed to my irrational desire to buy anything with a Jeep logo on it, but at $29.95 I just couldn't pull the trigger! The quality didn't seem...

    WTB: Passenger side tail light 05-07

    Hi folks, Due to a small accident (my wife backed into our travel trailer, minimal damage to both luckily and it's my fault anyways because of the way I parked the Jeep... :rolleyes: ) I am in need of a Passenger side tail light assembly for my '05 KJ. I believe the '05-'07 models will fit...

    Hello from New Jersey...

    Yes, I was at the airport today, someone asked me where you goin, I said New Jersey... he said "why?"... good question ;) But seriously I'm down here for work for a week. The standard vehicle the company will rent me is an "intermediate" size... I brought my wife and her friend along, so...

    New Terminology

    I had a bit of a look around for a "Jeep Terminology" thread or something like that, but didn't come across one. If there is one, I wanted to propose several additions, which have come onto the scene more recently and may not be known to everyone. DIGGERIZE [dig-er-ahyz] –verb...

    Storing mounted off-season tires

    I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on tire storage - I have two sets of tires on rims for my car (summer and winter), and currently store them in plastic bags, fully inflated in a non-heated shed. I would like to do the same for the Jeep eventually, this might give me a good excuse to...

    Oh look, a block heater!

    I recently discovered I have a block heater! Hurray for me... Just wondering if anyone knows the wattage and/or amperage this thing pulls? I checked the owner's manual and it doesn't say much... "plug it in when it's cold" basically :) I have other things plugged into my garage circuit...

    Final Score: Jeep 1, Stump 0

    This weekend I hired a homeless guy (through a friend) to help me with some major yard work. A while back I had cut down this overgrown juniper shrub, and a gnarly stump remained. This guy set to work attempting to dig it up but the roots were just too much, so I said "lets try and pull it...

    Cape Cod Oversand Pics

    Was in Cape Cod recently, so I picked up an ORV permit, aired down to 12 psi and hit the sand on the Cape Cod National Seashore trails. Beautiful scenery, and it was cool driving along the beach. Once we got to the Race Point lighthouse we had to turn back but I took a different route through...

    Some rambling reflections on towing

    I recently returned from a 3400 mile journey from Toronto to Cape Cod, then to Nova Scotia, Quebec and back home. This was our first major trip out with our new travel trailer. I wanted to share some of my thoughts and experiences towing this trailer with my KJ. The setup (picture below)...

    Which GPS?

    Hi folks, I'm not sure if something is wrong with the search function but I just put in GPS and returned zero results. Looking for some input from those with GPS's, I have a Magellan Meridian Gold which is a few years old and has been useful and fun but I'd really like to get turn-by-turn...

    I'm an idiot, Parts Wanted!

    So Friday I park in a different spot at work, one where you have to avoid a power pole to get into the spot. Seems I forgot about the pole, and smacked into it while backing out :-( Missed the tailgate and it's still functioning fine, but pushed in the bumper and trashed the tail light, and...

    First time out!

    I hit the trails with the KJ Expeditionary Group last weekend near Minden, Ontario ( www.kjexpgroup.com ), had a blast. As others have said I was amazed at what this vehicle can do, even in mostly stock form. More pics and video at: Pics...

    Black Libby / Silver Rock Rails - whaddya think?

    Finally got my freebie Mopar rock rails on today! I thought about painting them black, but decided to try them in silver first - they match the wheels and recovery shackles nicely! I think I like it...

    Daimler Chrysler Corporate Meeting

    Interesting... I just called Daimler Chrysler Canada customer service line and got the following: "...Our office is currently closed for a corporate meeting... please call back after 1:30 pm..." Gotta wonder what is so important they can't even leave a receptionist on duty... or maybe it's...

    Hello from Ontario

    Hi there, I am fairly new here, this is my first post on this forum. Some of you may recognize me from a couple of other forums I've introduced myself to. Haven't posted a lot yet, but I have been doing A LOT of reading and am starting to feel like I have my KJ already! I am...
