    Other black rims besides Cragar Soft 8's?

    Hello, I remember seeing a Liberty on here that had black rims that looked kind of like some companies spare tire rims. They were a black rim, probably steel, that had small holes, kind of like a Soft 8, but the holes were a lot smaller. I thought they looked good. I remember...

    Does anyone know how to take the Renegade roof rack off?

    Thanks Ian, I did try and pry the top of the split plastic pieces with a screwdriver. I felt like they werent going to budge or maybe even break. I'll give it another shot with a putty knife. How well did they snap back together? It always makes me laugh when they over-design things...

    Does anyone know how to take the Renegade roof rack off?

    Thanks, I tried taking off the star screws. I tried twisting the bar and pulling it and got nowhere. I wasnt sure if the star screws were the first place to start, or should I be trying to pop-off the front and rear plastic bases.

    What tires are you running with 16x7" Cragar eights, no lift?

    That's good advice but I'm just not crazy about the looks of the Renegade rim. I really like the look of the Eight's.

    What tires are you running with 16x7" Cragar eights, no lift?

    Checking to see what brand and size tire you guys are running with the 16"x7" Cragar Soft Eights. What rubs and what doesnt. There is a Jeep on here that looks good with the Cragars and BF Goodrich All Terrains but he is only running a P225/70/16 tire. My Renegade has been in the shop for...

    Problem with '06 Renegade ticking sound, just got the car on Saturday

    I'm not sure about a lift yet. I do want the front up I know that for sure. I was looking at the leveling kits. I was thinking about just doing a front leveling kit first. I am going to get the Cragar Soft 8's, probably with 235/75's. I really like the look of a 15" rim the best. But it...

    Problem with '06 Renegade ticking sound, just got the car on Saturday

    Its possible. I was excited. I test drove it for about 45 minutes. Looked it over for another 45 minutes and made him an offer. I havent purchased many cars before. The Jeep is extremely clean and it has many options and the owner seemed genuine. He was selling it for his daughter who...

    Problem with '06 Renegade ticking sound, just got the car on Saturday

    Wrist pin seems pretty far out to me. It sure makes me wonder about the shop. I looked all over the web for Jeep 3.7 wrist pin failure. I dont see any. ?

    Problem with '06 Renegade ticking sound, just got the car on Saturday

    Thanks I think maybe your right. Every car can have its problems. 54k on the motor and the extended warranty goes to 84k The service guy said something about a 70% labor rate. I guess if they pull the motor and determine that it needs some major repair then they just put in a new long...

    Problem with '06 Renegade ticking sound, just got the car on Saturday

    The service guy thought it was the water pump. I really didnt think so. I was thinking more exhaust leak, or lifter. It sounds like its coming from the drivers side head area but lower. If that makes sense. I havent owned many different cars. Wrist pin noise is a first for me.

    Problem with '06 Renegade ticking sound, just got the car on Saturday

    I researched these little Jeeps like a mad man for the last few weeks. I'm coming off of two Ford Explorers in the last 14 years. 255,000 on the first one and 176,000 on the current one. Both with VERY minor repairs. I thought I had it pretty much figured out and I wanted to try something...

    Problem with '06 Renegade ticking sound, just got the car on Saturday

    So i picked up an '06 Renegade with 54k in excellent conditon over the weekend from a private party. I drove it around on Sunday and heard a little ticking under the hood, just enough to bug me. Sounds kind of like a lifter, but not as loud. You can hear it at idle and starting off. Cant hear...
