    It was a nice and sunny day yesterday so I went for a ride with the windows down. The whole f'ing time I was driving I heard a squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. As soon as I applied the brakes slightly it went away, but let go of the brakes and squeak, squeak, squeak came back. It's a real pain in...

    Yikes!!

    There is a guy on BITOG forums that has a cousin that has a 2002 KJ with 140k miles and the only thing he has been doing to it is the regular oil changes. Hasn't done any of the recalls, TSBs, or any of the other maintenance that the owner's manual calls for. Poor KJ...jeez I hate people that...

    75W-140 in the front?

    I was going through the work orders of my Jeep and I noticed that they used 75W-140 in the front and rear diff. Rear diff, great that's cool but as for the front diff, was that a wise choice of them?

    What to "lube" on a KJ?

    Usually when you have the dealer change the oil/filter they also "lube" the vehicle. What exactly are they lubing? (dunno)

    5W-30 vs 5W-20

    There is this debate going on at BITOG forums. People are saying that there is NO reason whatsoever to use 5W-30 is Chrysler's Powertech engines(3.7, 4.7). That all of us with jeeps and trucks with those engines should switch to 5W-20 even if the recommended oil on the oil fill cap is 5W-30...

    Illuminated window switches?

    I was looking closely to the window switches in the center console and also the lock/unlock switches that are on each of the front doors. There seems to be a little green lens in the middle of each switch. So I was driving tonight and I noticed that they do not light up. Only the front Auto...

    How to change side marker bulb on 05-07?

    I noticed this evening that the front side marker bulb on the driver's side was burnt out. How the hell do you change the bulb on that? Does it pull off? Do you have to reach from underneath? confused.gif

    Spare tire cover. On or Off?

    I've had my spare tire cover off since I bought my KJ back in August. Winter is near however and I was wondering if I should put it back on to protect the spare tire rim...or will having the cover on make it worse(not being able to breath, dry out, etc)? Thoughts?

    I've noticed a squeek squeek squeek sound lately when I pull away from a complete stop. Seems to be coming from the front, drivers side, but I ain't 100% sure. Seems to disappear when I get up in speed. I've also noticed the brakes squeal sometimes. Which one? Hard to tell...perhaps the same...

    Got me some new shoes!

    Firestone Destination A/T 235/65R17 760$CDN installed. The garage filled them with Nitrogen which is cool. I noticed a difference instantly when driving back home. Ride was much more comfortable and my Jeep cornered much better vs the crappy Wrangler HPs.

    Rain + Wrangler HP = slippery slidey

    I was out and about during my lunch hour with my Jeep. First time driving it in the rain. Every time I left an intersection the back tires would spin and spin enabling the EPS system to kick in. Jeez these Wrangler HPs suck in the rain!:mad: Funny though, as I was out and about shopping for new...

    I come home this evening after work. Hop into my Jeep and head to the restaurant. I notice immediately that there is something wrong. The engine runs really rough, the whole jeep shakes when idle, very little power when I press on the gas and the check engine light turns on. So instead of going...
