    What does everybody pay for their fuel

    $3.05/gallon on my way home today. Lowest I've seen it since September.

    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    Traded in a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro for my Libby. Loved that car but it's not something the average Joe could work on in his garage. Besides, German cars aren't meant to be owned beyond 50K miles. I've yet to find something on my Libby that can't be accessed and replaced quite easily. Would do...

    Window problem

    My tread began coming up through the base, too. I got a slightly larger diameter tube about 2-3" long and slit it length-wise and placed it over the break in the factory tubing. I then used a butt load of zip ties to tighten everything down. So far, so good except when I use the "auto down"...

    Clevis bolts

    I called my dealership back and asked for the clevis bolt and the kid on the other end said he didn't know what a clevis was... Yes, that's right... Anyhow, I found the part number for the bolt and was able to figure out the nut. They can't get the bolt until tomorrow and they're not even sure...

    Clevis bolts

    But I do need the lower clevis bolt, right? Is there another name that they would call what we call the lower clevis bolt?

    Clevis bolts

    Thanks for the pro-tip! I just called and confirmed with Fastenal that the bolt is 10.9 but she said the flanged nut is not. Would I be OK using a 10.9 (if they make it) nut and washer instead of the flange nut? When calling up the dealership, I asked for a lower clevis bolt/nut and told...

    Clevis bolts

    So I'm installing my Ironman lift kit and as I got to my last bolt, the lower clevis bolt with the metal tab and the head was rounded. I used map gas on the nut with a breaker bar and had no luck. I eventually split the nut with acetylene and banged it out. Called up the jeep dealership to...

    What additional oem parts?

    Hey Tom, I just read in an Australian forum that you used a cutting board as a shim under the top plate. Is that true and is so, have any advice?

    Air condition compressor going bad?

    I just had the same issue a few weeks ago. Ended up getting a replacement bearing at Autozone for $22. It's completely possible to replace this yourself if you're a little handy but you should take care of this soon. If you don't, you could ruin the nose of the compressor and that's some...

    Home-made Roof Cross Rails...coating?

    I made a roof rack from some iso struts and conduit I had lying around. Ill eventually use a bedliner to cover it but I'm still trying to find a non hazardous way to etch/prime the conduit. If you plan on this route, make sure you DON'T weld conduit!! The fabrication was pretty straightforward...

    Hardwire Radar Detector Help

    I dropped my cable down the front defroster vent and fished it out through the stereo. I then pulled the trim on the right and left of my steering wheel and ran the cable under the wheel, zip-tying it along the way. From there I tied it into my stereo fuse.

    DIY Muffler Swap... Is it worth it?

    Installed the FloMaster Super 44 in about an hour. Bought it on eBay for around $60 shipped and got the extension and clamps at Pepboys for around $15. The sound was the most notable difference until I went to the pump. I ended up getting about 50 more miles out of my tank after the install...

    This site saved me nearly $1000 today!

    I've been lurking around on here even before I had a KJ. This site is one of the main reasons I chose to get one. I loved how with a little elbow grease I could "upgrade" it and the biggest factor is that I'm actually able to work on it. I traded an Audi A4 for my KJ and there were very few...

    Brakes, bearings or calipers?

    Just noticed a metal on metal grinding sound while driving through the city the other day. Only able to hear the sound when driving down a narrow, packed street. Anyhow, the sound is constant until I brake about 40-70%, then nothing until I begin coasting or accelerating again. It sounds as...

    Milage

    Replaced OEM's with Autolites about 10k miles after I bought it at 58k miles and saw very little gain, around 1.2-2.4 mpg increase. After installing a Flowmaster 44, my 03', 3.7L at 90k miles, began getting around 325-350 miles per tank. Before the install, I was getting no more than 250...
