    Spun out today...

    ...luckily no one was hurt. I had my 6 1/2 year old daughter in the car with me, though, so I'm really concerned. I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade. I had the "Frankenlift" (2.5") done at All J Products in Big Bear a few years ago. I am currently running P245/75 R16 Firestone...

    Long time since I've posted here...tranny problem in `05 Liberty

    Hello all. I haven't posted here in a few years, but I'm having a problem with my `05 Liberty Renegade, and hoped someone here might have some advice. I was going to try the search function, but I can't even think of keywords that will turn up viable results... So, here's the dealio...

    Ordered some Mopar skids today for my `05 Rene...

    Received a 15% discount coupon on "Accessories" from my local Chrysler/Jeep dealer. Wifey gave me some Christmas cash to put toward skid plates, as she knew I wanted them for the Jeep. I ordered the Front Suspension skid, the Transfer Case skid, and the Tranny skid. The Front Suspension...

    Wheel Spacers?

    Hello all, I recently lifted my `05 Renegade, and am really enjoying the more manly look of it. I've gotten quite a few unsolicited compliments, too. :D I went with 245/75/R16 A/T Firestone Destinations, as this is my daily driver, and I needed a road-worthy tire that could still grip on...

    Anyone ever stuck a hitch on the front of a KJ?

    Is that even possible? :confused: I've seen this on a few other vehicles - like the XJ's. Reason? The swing gate makes a rear hitch mounted cargo platform not very viable. I'd like to be able to throw a couple of bikes on a front hitch-mounted cargo deck - keeping them generally below...

    OK...continuing to show my ignorance...

    I saw in another thread (the one about differentials) the term "spider gears." Well, about a year or so ago I needed to replace mine in my rear differential because they were all chewed up. My mechanic found it doing scheduled maintenance - metal shards/chunks in the diff fluid. :eek: We...

    Lift questions...Al's "A" arms related.

    I'm located in So Cal, and am thinking of taking my `05 Liberty Renegade up to Big Bear and getting the Frankenlift Premium II 2.5" lift installed by All J's. Is there any info on whether that lift requires also getting the Al's A arms installed, in order to function properly? I don't want...

    Rear glass latch/sensor...

    Lately my rear glass sensor does not recognize that the glass is closed. The latch still holds, and the glass stays put, but the sensor beeps at me when I shift into drive, and I cannot use my rear glass windshield wiper, as the Libby thinks the glass is open... Is this a common problem...

    Omg...

    Hello all, Haven't checked in here in a while. I just thought I'd share a little story with you all... I was invited to join some off-road enthusiasts I know on a run of the "Lockwood Creek/Miller Jeep Trail" in the local southern California mountains. I have a completely stock 2005 Jeep...

    Ouch...

    So I've got my 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade in for 60K mile schedule "B" maintenance at my local mechanic (not the dealer). I tow a 3500lb pop-up tent trailer about 10-15 times per year, and do some light off-highway driving, mostly in 4HI. (command-trac) The menchanic informed me that he...

    Another tranny question...

    Hello all. Does anyone here know if on the Liberty when the shifter is in "2" the tranny bypasses first gear completely? Some vehicles will start from a dead stop in second gear for snow, ice, etc. A guy I was talking to on RV.net said that he fried the trans in his Ford diesel pickup...

    Newbie questions...

    Hello all, Just found this forum, whilst searching the `net for towing solutions for my 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade. I read a good post by "Dave" (my name too, actually) about general towing info. Though I'm sure these have been asked before, I've got a couple of questions: 1: What...
