    Oil drain plug

    In case anybody finds themselves in the same spot I was in yesterday with a stripped head on the oil drain plug, Motormite makes a nice replacement with a gasket and a larger head than the factory unit making it a bit more stout and resistant to stripping. It's part number 65246 and the threads...

    Finally did my own oil change......

    I changed my KJs oil today too. Everything was going against me, but I was determined to do the deed. Advance Auto Parts advertised an oil change special, a Purolator filter and five quarts of either Quaker State or Pennzoil motor oil for $14.99. And if you buy an air filter at the same time...

    How did you first find your KJ?

    After only 5 months of commuting with a new Pontiac G5 I was so sore and stiff that I had to trade it in for something with a higher seat height despite having to surrender the excellent gas mileage I was getting. We went back to the Pontiac dealer that I bought the car from and checked out...

    Bought our second KJ - Bad news

    You ought to have two warranties working for you. One, the Jeep is still under factory warranty. Two, most dealers will warranty that the vehicle will pass inspection, and in my state at least, if the check engine light is on, it won't pass.

    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    I traded... my five month old 2008 Pontiac G5 for my 2007 Liberty. I traded my 1997 ZJ for the G5 when gas prices went insane but with my bad peg and my long commute, the car was mighty uncomfortable for me. I took a bit of a beating money-wise, but I am back in a Jeep and very comfortable.

    Cracked 22mpg combined

    My first tank of gas... came in at 22.5 MPG. My commute is nearly all highway driving and I kept the cruise control set for 68-69 MPH. I picked the Jeep up Monday night so I haven't really had a chance to do a thing to it. I am hoping that with the careful driving and some future tuning I can...

    Hello from the Garden State

    My new to me 2007 Liberty Sport (3.7-liter, Command-Trac, automatic) is my seventh Jeep. I have owned four SJs, and two ZJs prior to this KJ. We picked it up two days ago and so far I am really enjoying it.
