    Interior overhead light issue..

    I've already done a "search" for a thread regarding this problem, but found nothing that I could see addressing it specifically. Of course, I could be blind... It seems that all of the interior lights in my '02 Liberty Limited will sporadically turn themselves on and off, or won’t turn off...

    A factory alternative to aftermarket wheels...

    I am the original owner of an '02 Liberty Limited. When it came time to replace the tires a few years back, I was looking for a way to save a buck or two. Well, I also own an '07 Magnum and I'd swapped out the stock 18" alloys for a set of the Challenger SRT wheels and tires... so, I...

    Cracked radiator...

    This evening, my daughter mentioned she saw smoke coming from under the hood of our 2002 Liberty. Turns out the "smoke" was actually steam, coming from what appears to be a small crack in the right tank of the radiator, near the upper radiator hose inlet. At first, I thought it might have been...

    My rear axle seals are leaking..

    ... or at least that's what the dealer's service writer told me yesterday. I haven't seen any evidence of leaks... there's no oil I can see on the back side of the wheels or backing plates, and there don't seem to be any issues with the brakes... BUT, I don't want to take a chance with the...

    Ugh...

    For the last 12 years, I've bragged on my '02 Liberty Limited, telling anyone who'd stand still long enough, that it's virtually bullet proof... that absolutely nothin' has ever broken on it. Of course, with only 45,000 miles on it, nothing should've broken, right? Anyway, I took it in for...

    Forgive my ignorance... please!

    I have a challenge I thought the good folks here could help me with. Simply put, I'm trying to figure out a way to tow my 2wd Liberty behind my motorhome, without having to resort to trailering it. When we bought it, I did not do sufficient research and relied on the salesman's...

    Looking at buying another Liberty...

    ... keeping the 2002 we've got. As my wife and dughter are constantly at war over who gets our Liberty, I thought the simple solution would be to just get another one. I've found a 2005, 4x4 Limited, that looks good, got all the bells and whistles. My only concern is the mileage, it has...

    Boy o' boy, my Libby was lookin' a little dirty...

    ... more like filthy! I hadn't really cleaned it in at least two months, so the accumulated grime was stuck to it like kryptonite... it took me virtually all day to get it cleaned and waxed! And, I haven't even begun on the inside... Anyway, thought I post up a shot of it in it's present...

    Towing our Liberty

    My wife and I have owned a 2002 Liberty Limited, 2WD (I know), since it was new and we'd like to configure for towing behind our motorhome. This little Jeep has been literally bullet proof, no repairs, just maintenance, so we are kind partial to it. I've seen the Remco transmission pump set...

    18" wheels and tires

    Some time back, maybe a couple or three years ago, I installed a set of Dodge Magnum R/T, 18" wheels and 225/60-18 tires on my 2002, two wheel drive, Liberty Limited. I wanted a custom wheel, I had these in my garage and, besides, they're forged and a lot stronger than most "affordable"...

    Hidden junk collector...

    This afternoon, as I was changing the oil on my wife's Liberty, I started cleaning up around the engine compartment. I pulled out the foam "seals" on either side of the cowl, where the rear of the hood meets the fender. It appears as of they were "glued" in at the factory, but the adhesive...

    Towing Jeep "4 down"...

    I know this is a forum dedicated to the Liberty, but hopefully, my question can be answered by the knowledgeable folks here.... I'm looking at a 2006 Grand Cherokee with a 4.7 engine and an electronic four wheel drive system. The reason for this potential purchase is, we want a vehicle to...

    After sittin' at the airport...

    ... and having been filthy before being parked there, the wifes Liberty was sorely in need of some serious detailing. It took nearly two and a half days of scrubbin', rubbin' clay barrin' and polishin', but it finally looks good again. Of course, I promptly took it out, into the hills for a...

    My version of a "new" Liberty...

    ... I'm kinda partial to the original design for the Liberty, so I thought I'd come up with my own concept. Actually, it's just an excercise at playin' with Photoshop...

    All clean...

    Spring has seemingly, finally arrived... so I got a wild hair up my... and decided to detail the Ole Heep. Spent the better part of a beautiful Sunday scrubbin' n polishin'... thought I share the results. The wheels were particularly filthy, so I had to devote much of my energy to...

    Just for the heck of it...

    ... and as an exercise in Photoshopping, I tried to create a two door Liberty. I realize it's not really very practical, but that wasn't the idea, I was just goofin' off.

    Abs...

    Just recently, I was out, driving with my newly licensed daughter. She mentioned that during her driving lessons, there was never any training regarding ABS. Sooo, I had her drive over to the local college (Sunday afternoon) in order to use the parking lot for a little demonstration. I...

    An inexpensive option for forged, aluminum wheels...

    I installed a set of Dodge Magnum/Charger, 18" wheels on my Liberty. They are a direct bolt on, no adapters or spacers needed. The offset is a bit wider than the stock rims, but I've had no issues with rubbing (I've got a stock suspension set-up). I'm running 255/60x18 street tires for...
