    A/C problems with '07? Replace compressor but not a drier?

    Last summer while driving down the highway I noticed that when the compressor would kick in the belt would screech badly and you could feel a power loss. I kept telling SWMBO to bring it in to Jeep to have it checked out, but of course she didn't, she stopped complaining about it and I forgot...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    We've done two on each rear and one on the front passenger side, now the driver's window dropped last night while it was raining. Fortunately I saw it and put it back into place (I use a suction cup to hold it up) before the interior got soaked. The dealer will continue to keep "fixing it"...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 5th time!!!

    So far the dealer has fixed the window issue on the front passenger side once, left rear twice and now the right rear has dropped a second time. Driver's side window is original, but slow and loud. Dealer won't swap it out until it actually breaks. Today my wife worked a 13 hour day and came...

    Upper and lower control arms bad!?

    Brought the wife's '07 to the stealership today to have the window repaired (again). They DID cover that under warranty, fortunately. I told them that the front end had a light clunk over bumps, both sides. They called me back and said that both upper and lower controls arms on both sides are...

    Window regulator broke AGAIN. Will dealer cover 2nd time?

    My wife had three of her four windows fall down and get repaired under the "recall" a couple of years ago. Yesterday the window dropped again. Will the dealer cover it again or are we on our own? Hard to fix if I have to do it myself?

    Front end clunk?

    I've been driving the KJ around quite a bit the past couple weeks and I noticed a bit of a clunk when going over bumps and speed bumps. Seems to come from the whole front end, not one side in particular. It's a 2wd model with 37k miles. I don't remember hearing that before, is there a known...

    Firestone Destinations cracking!

    Exactly one year ago today (ironically) we put a new set of Destination A/Ts on SWMBO's Liberty: http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f200/tire-time-firestone-destinations-bridgestone-duelers-long-trail-t-49930/ Jeep's a 2WD that's mostly driven around town and not offroad. I washed the truck...

    Air condition compressor going bad?

    While driving my wife's '07 Liberty the other day at about 80 with the air on, every 12 seconds the compressor would cycle and the belt would squeal. I've notice it doing it periodically in the past, but this was very consistent. I checked the belt, which is original, and it has no cracks...

    Not quite powerful enough to tow?

    I took the '07 on a 400 mile round trip drive on Sunday to pick up a "new" bike, and as with the last time I towed a motorcycle, it seems to juuuuuust be lacking in power. In OD, you can do 60 without much issue, but anything above that it will downshift, accelerate, then slooooowly drop in...

    Inaugural tow with the Liberty...

    Well, I installed a class 3 hitch and plug n play wiring harness from Curt on the '07 Liberty. There's another thread about it, including install pics. Anyway, hooked up my father in law's 12x6 motorcycle trailer and went to get a new bike with it. I definitely could use some heavier duty...

    Best place to get hitch? Which harness?

    I need to get a hitch and wiring on the '07 ASAP, as I'm trying to get to Jacksonville (four hours or so away) to pick up a motorcycle. Local place wants stupid money for one, and I know I can do the install myself since I read the threads on here about it. The popular Ebay seller with them...

    Danged positive battery terminal is corroding like CRAZY! Ideas?

    I popped the hood of my wife's '07 a few weeks ago and found the factory terminal so corroded that it was barely holding onto itself. Soaked it repeatedly in baking soda, replaced the terminal with the zinc plated kind from Advanced Auto, then put one of those stupid felt rings on it. That was...

    '07 Headlights spider cracking...any recourse?

    The headlights on SWMBO's '07 Liberty have tons of small spider cracks. Is this normal, and is there any recourse about it? Looks lousy and I'm sure it refracts the light, admittedly not that much at this point, I'd wager.

    Tire time! Firestone Destinations, Bridgestone Duelers, or Long Trail T/As?

    My wife's 22k '07 Sport needs new tires, finally. I can get a set of Firestone Destinations for about $650 from Firestone, or a number of choices from Costco, including Dueler ATs, Dueler ATs, and BFG Long Trail T/As. Tire will be 245/70R16. I like the look of the Destinations (both RWOL...

    Aftermarket radio install...need the antenna adapter?

    I'm ordering up everything I need to put a new stereo in the wife's '07 Liberty so I'm not stuck with an open dash and no part. Does the factory stereo use the small antenna and therefore require the adapter for an aftermarket (specifically Pioneer) head unit?

    SWMBO needs new tires...recommendations? Change spare?

    The Liberty has 20k miles on it now, and the tires are getting close to the wear bars. Rather than wait til the last minute, I might as well replace them now before the rainy season hits. Since she's short, we won't be lifting the Liberty anytime soon, but I do want to put slightly larger...

    Danged window regular broke again

    SWMBO's Liberty lost both rear window regulators about six months ago or so, and Jeep swapped em out with no problem. Saturday, the passenger side front let go. I wonder how long the driver's side will hold? I wish they'd change both sides and save us taking a day off of work each...

    TWO broken regulators in one day? Opinions please.

    My girlfriend bought her '07 KJ a few months ago (there's a thread about it) with 8k miles. Now it has 11k miles, not that it really matters, I guess. She came out from work yesterday to find BOTH rear windows down. One window was down completely, and the other was down a few inches...

    SWMBO got herself the Liberty today...pics included

    http://jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44037 Branch off from this thread, I couldn't figure out how to edit my title so I just did a new thread. She's a Jeeper! We went down to the dealership in Miami today and came home one Saturn lighter and one Jeep heavier! It was a little...

    Looking at an '07 Liberty...tips? What to avoid, what's the must have?

    EDIT 3/14: She's a Jeeper! We went down to the dealership in Miami today and came home one Saturn lighter and one Jeep heavier! It was a little overpriced, but I felt it was worth it. 8190 miles, a locally leased car. Has two dings on the rear driver's door (calling the Ding King!) and a...
