new jeep owner! hello!

[keen]

hi all,
i just recently purchased my first jeep. its an 05 liberty sport, its white, 4x4 and a cool ride.

i have been googling things like maintanence (imma do it yourself kind dude)
and all searches have lead me here for the most part.

so i went ahead and joined the community.

so i plan on doing the front and rear axles as well as the t case fluids, mainly for peace of mind, and i cant seem to find the capacity of the diffs. do i just fill to 1/2 inch below fill hole like OM says? or is there a specified amnt?

not sure if it has the trac select or not so i gotta check before i do the fluid changes.

anywho... im a jeeper now and liking it thus far. lookin forward to talking and sharing info with all of you.

sounds like fun! we have a couple nice trails up here in the north east but nothing as serious as the west side fellas have. i watch all of the youtube vids at the duns and the canyons over there that looks like some good stuff!!
