My fan went bad too. You wouldn't notice it getting hot until you are going slow for a little while. When driving faster than 35 or 40 mph the air flow through the radiator is enough to cool it, unless it is a hot day and the AC is on. If it is only overheating at slower speeds then I would...

The CV boot doesn't have to be torn for the CV to be bad. Grab hold of the half axle on the passenger side and give it a good tug back and forth. A little play may be OK, but if there is considerable play at one end or the other you have a bad CV joint. Seems like the CV's on the Liberty...

My wife named our KJ "Froggy". When she first saw it she said that it looked like a frog from the front with the bulging "eyes" on the light bar and the wide appearance with the lift, big tires and wheel spacers. Really fits it quite well. I'd like to get a front window brow sticker with that...

I don't believe the newer tanks can fill to full capacity. They used to. Us old-timers can remember filling the tank all the way full and then when the tank heated up it would seep out of the filler neck. The newer tanks are designed with an air pocket at the top to compensate for cooler fuel...

If you do use a come-along or a high-lift Jack, DO NOT use a strap. You are right there where the action is and that nylon strap will seriously injure you or worse if it should turn loose or break, especially if it carries a metal part with it. I use a come-along and chains. If something...

I agree with the replacement of the intermediate shaft. I had the dealership replace my right half axle when the CV went bad. A few months later I had to take it back. It was still under warranty for the repair work. They admitted that the intermediate shaft had been a little rusty. They...

Need to be careful using standard 2X lumber. It can split longitudinally if the ground is uneven or the load is not supported on the full foot of the jack. You may want to do what a lot of people with motorhomes do. Make jack pads out of 3/4 inch plywood. Glue and screw two pieces together...

Don't want to start a flurry of activity about tires, but my 2cents. Firestone Destination AT's for lower price. Good highway manners and great off-road, except for mud. Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac if you can afford the difference. Better tire, tougher tire, better performance. Snow...

I have always loved off-roaders and have had several as well as regular road cars. Years ago I had a '49 Plymouth straight 6 dune buggy. I removed the fenders and had the wheels split and a ring welded in to make fat tires for the sand. With only two wheel drive it worked quite well. Later...

03 Renegade purchased in December with 112K miles. Replaced passenger side half axle and intermediate shaft Replaced front drive shaft New tires Now have 120K on it plus 2,500 miles towed behind our motorhome since then.

That beer looks like it has gone flat.:D

I think a lot of it depends on where you might go offroad. Sharp rocks... skids. Sand... lift. That is after the recovery points like tjkj said. You could drive offroad for months here in Northeast Florida in the sand without needing skids, but it sure would help to get your undercarriage up...

Mine seems to run 17 in the city and 20 on the highway. My Honda CRV gets 20 city and 27 highway, but I had rather drive the Jeep. Much more fun and I can go pretty much anywhere I want. \\:D/ 03 Renegade 3.7L OME Lift 255 70 16 Firestone Destination AT tires All Mopar skids except for no...

Been to these places without my Jeep. Sure wish I had it. We put our CRV through some pretty tough trails. I'm thinkin when you get there you will want to go off road. Some of the best pictures will be at off road sites.

I had the same thing on my Jeep. There was a loud rumble at 60mph and above. You could hear it at lower speeds, but it was not real noticeable. Once you hit 60 you knew something was wrong. I am used to CV joints "clicking", but apparently the Liberty's don't do that. The Jeep tech took me...

Darn!!! those MBRP mufflers must be made of gold.:eek: I bought a 5" stainless steel muffler about 31" long for my motorhome and it only cost me $180.:D

2003 Renegade, 118+ miles. We are the second owner so am not sure what was done by previous owner. It came with tow bar base plates so no telling how many miles it was towed. It also had an OME lift kit already installed. It had 112K on it when we bought it in December. Since then I have...

Oh guys... we have an appointment to have some work done on our motorhome in Tampa. We can't go.cryinghard.gif Hope you have a great ride. Please post your experience so we can enjoy vicariously.

I think you did a magnificent job with only two wheels driving and probably wouldn't have got stuck this time if you could have kept up your speed to give you more momentum or aired down your tires before we started. All I have to say is: Great Job! eclipsee_gold_cup.g:

Boy do I feel dumb.:o The hiding place for the Owners Manual is really a great hiding place. I didn't think I had a manual with the used Jeep I bought used so I ordered one from the I-net. After reading a post on this thread I went out to the Jeep and found the original manual.:eek: Also...
