So I took the Libby to a Jiffy Lube today for a tranny flush. I told them the specifics for using only ATF+4 fluid. The guy said no problem and they put an additive in the fluid they use in order to make it compliant with specs. I am a skeptic, but I have to believe being a nation wide chain...

Just back from Afcrapistan, again. Checking in to see what is new. Did much debating over the year if I should keep the KJ or upgrade to something else (FJ or Rubicon Unlimited, used of course). Well, I am going to save the money and hang onto the KJ. I have owned it for four years and...

First, Merry Christmas to all the Jeepers out there! Have some holiday cheer:party52: OK, my power steering is starting to whine, but only when it is cold out (04 with 78k miles on it). Is the power steering pump on its way out? DJ

Looking at adding to my OME setup. Since the Budget Boost is a no-go I am looking at a conduit lift. How much lift can I get out of this? From what I read 3/8" seems about it. However, it does seem fairly easy to do. How many of these nuts do I put in? Since I have installed my OME springs...

I took the spare tire off my tail gate and intend to put it on top in a roof basket I just ordered. I have a hitch mounted bike carrier that does not fit very well with the tire on the tailgate. Also, I don't like the extra weight on the tailgate. So I will put it on the roof. My question...

Looking at adding a 2" Budget Boost in addition to the OME suspension and Al's Arm setup I am currently running on 245/75R16 tires. First, I don't think this is enough lift that will require changing the angle on the drive shaft. And are wheel spacers a good addition to decrease tire rub...

Took my Jeep to the Dealership to have 2 motor mounts and 1 transmission mount replaced, OUCH!:mad3: They did grease many of the bushings with a White Grease too. The squeeking coming from the front end is gone. I forgot to ask what they used. Anyone have any suggestions? DJ

OK, two questions: 1. Looks like I am headed back to Afcrapistan again, this time for a 1 year tour. I just finished up my 04 Rene with OME lift, JBA 4.5s and brand new 245/75 16 Cooper AT3. It has 72k on it and is paid for. Should I keep it or sell it? 2. If I do sell it how much? I am the...

Does anyone know if the 04 has a cabin air filter? The Haynes Manual has nothing in it and have not found anything on this site regarding. DJ

I recently changed the power steering fluid on my 04 KJ and used regular power steering fluid. Did the flush myself at home. From what I have read ATF+4 is recommended, OOOPS! Should I take it to a shop and have it flushed immediately or will it be fine if I just leave it? DJ

Just a few picks of a trip into the Cleveland National Forest. DJ

OME and new A-arms installed. Also, put in new tie rod ends and new tires. Before [/IMG] After [/IMG] New tires (245/75R16) [/IMG] Old parts [/IMG] DJ

So, I should receive my JBA A arms within the next week (delayed, but that is another thread). I decided to prep the battle field by examining the four bolts that attach the a arm to the body. The front two I can loosen with a fair amount of elbow grease, but the back two (closest to the fire...

Came across this website that I found unique. It shows your original tire size with the one you plan to buy. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html DJ

OK, here's the deal I am looking for everyones opinion on this matter. Background first, 04 Renegade with 69k, OME suspension I put on about a year ago. Everything else is stock to include the 235 tires. Here is the question: I am debating if I should put new, larger tires on it and replace...

Has anyone experienced loss of power with the installation of a new high flow exhaust system? Talking with a guy at an off-road shop yesterday he told me the Jeeps with the 3.7L are notorious for loosing power when a high flow exhaust system is installed due to the high amount of back pressure...

My check engine light came on about three weeks ago. I checked the codes; 171 and 172. Conflicting codes: running to rich, running to lean. So yesterday I filled it up with gas, low fuel light had come on. Engine light is off now and she is running pretty smooth again. Bad gas? Maybe I...

04 Renegade w/ 64k is leaking oil. Fairly slow leak, about 1 qt the past 3 months. Before I start digging around I was wondering what the typical leak points are on the Liberty: main seal, oil pan,... This leak is in addition to the strange engine codes (171 & 172) I am getting. I know they...

Check engine light came on and I ran the codes: 171 and 172. General info is 02 sensor, fuel filter,... Kind of non specific. Has anyone seen these codes and know of the potential fix? I know it is situation dependent, but I thought this might be a common problem. Also, it has been raining...

Ok so I just changed my oil and put on a FRAM Tough Guard. Tell me why I am wrong? DJ
