    265-70-16?

    I'm running 245/70R16s Revos on an unlifted Renegade, though with Rancho shocks, not the stock set. I get very minimal rubbing in the front wheel well - it's minimal enough that I never bothered to work with the heat gun; maybe a patch the size of a quarter.

    Horn Chirp sounds "sick"?

    There's also two horns, high and low. If the battery checks out okay, you may find that you've just lost a horn.

    Infant Child Seat Size...parents experience needed!

    We've got the same problem. The little one's still small enough to be rear facing, and with both our Chicco KeyFit and the new Britax Boulevard the passenger seat has to be nearly at the front position. I keep the child seat behind the passenger seat because it helps with quick visibility - if...

    Extra plastic crap on roof rack

    There are 4 T-15 (I think it's 15, they might be T-20) screws, one on each corner that clamp the plastic basket on to the roof rack. You'll be left with bars running the length of the car (so you'd need to purchase aftermarket crossbars for a roof box, for instance. I took mine off about 5...

    Busted Radiator

    Check your hoses first. Since it got cold here, I've noticed a small leak (that turned into a half gallon last night) - looks like my hoses are on their way out and the worm drive clamps aren't tight enough anymore. Tightening the clamps on the upper and lower hoses have fixed the leak, and...

    KJ left me stranded, won't crank... what to do now

    Knee compartment relay locations can be found in a diagram here: http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40619&highlight=horn+relay You've done more than a voltage test on the battery, right? If you're on your stock battery, I'd replace it anyway - I had very similar symptoms about 6...

    Radiator Fan problems

    Got it, thanks for the pic. Now it's just a matter of finding the part number for that beast.

    Radiator Fan problems

    You're sure the '04s also have that relay? I've got two relays (plus the fuse) in the under-hood PDC, but I can neither find a part number for a third mechanical relay nor can I actually find the part you're referring to - it's admittedly been dark and it's not the easiest thing to find by...

    Radiator Fan problems

    The fan doesn't turn on when the AC's on... But my understanding (from the Haynes manual) is that the fan won't turn on until operating temp is 176*F without the A/C on or 202*F with the A/C on. I'm certainly not running at those temps in my driveway. Having said all that, though, the fan's...

    Radiator Fan problems

    I was wondering about that - I had this happen once before (when my horn relay went), and I was worried that it might be traditional dieseling... I replaced the spark plugs and ran some Techron through to hopefully clean up some deposits, and it's been okay for about six months now. I don't...

    Radiator Fan problems

    I had an issue the other day when my engine ('04 Renny) wouldn't shut off even with the key out... I ended up putting it in gear and letting the clutch out until she stalled. Since then, I've had a check engine light and when I got the codes pulled this morning I ended up with: 462 (Fuel...

    Is the Renegade worth the extra $$$

    The '04 Renegades (at least '04, I'm not sure about '02-'03) with CommandTrac PT 4x4 came with the 231HD transfer case... not the 231. Whether there's a real functional difference, I don't know, but there is a difference. Either way, the point of my post was that no, I wouldn't buy a Renny...

    Is the Renegade worth the extra $$$

    I've got an '04 Renny. Given the choice, I would not get the Renegade again off the lot. Buying used, though, I'd probably go for the Renny if it weren't significantly more money (within $1k, I'd say). The things I like and wouldn't want to do without on the '02-'04 Renny are the flares and...

    2004 Horn Relay Location

    No kidding. Luckily the first one was in a parking lot outside the neighborhood and the second was late enough that I was awake and took care of it within a few seconds. Yup, that's the idea. Replaced the relay and the blown horn today, and decided to replace the good one with a FIAMM as...

    Why does the KJ Renegade have side steps?

    I've got an '04 Renny as well, but didn't get the LSD... I'm thinking that's an option on top of the Renegade package. They do also (the manuals at least) have the Command Trac HD 231 TC, which is an upgrade over the standard TC (though I believe the HD was made standard on all Libbys...

    Shudder symptom. Is it what I think it is ??

    Is it a shudder only upon gear shift or quick throttle changes? I've got a manual '04 and there a very pronounced shudder/steer when i come off the gas to shift. I'm blaming my suspension, so if you're still on your stock shocks that may be something to look at also.

    2004 Horn Relay Location

    Sweet. I suspected it might be down there but hadn't seen a diagram. Thank you, sir!

    2004 Horn Relay Location

    I've seen a few similar threads from a few years back, but none had any resolution... I've got an '04 Renegade and a few weeks back the horn started honking and didn't stop until it had blown both the horn and the fuse. I've replaced the horns, but had a similar problem a few mornings ago -...
