Touched up the JBA arms a little, getting ready to install new ball joints.

Drove it home from CT to MD.

Generally went between 80-85 mph for the full trip, except for the 3-4 trips in town while up there. Got 19.0, 18.1 (the hilly + local trip leg) and 19.1 for the trip. Not bad for three people, crap for a weekend and a heavy foot.

The Libby really did like about 2500 RPM, which was about 80 mph. She came alive...

See , they like to be out there running with the big dogs better than lugging down all of the time
Mine run best at 75-80 and get the best mileage
55-65 no way :emotions34::gr_grin:

I couldn't keep it at 55 even if I wanted to. The Libby hates 55 with a passion...and yes, 55-65 is lugging thr poor thing. 70 is okay, 75 is much better, 82 was about perfect :gr_grin:

Splurged on some Weathertech floor mats... it's nice having the factory nearby.

I also sourced a new bit of memory foam for the back - I used to have some for the KJ - I had to cut it up to fit correctly, but it got old and wrecked over time and trips...
This new bit is much better quality, and I don't think I'll have to cut it to fit.

What paint brand and color did you use? I'm planning on doing the exact same thing - after installing the JBA coilovers the red springs make the UCA's look awful. They need repainted badly :emotions34:

TIA...

Haha I'm gonna get my rockers done and my roof rails too. It would set it off really nice. And that chrome tip on my exhaust that I had welded on for my "flow master" knock off looks great and sounds great

Mine gets "in the groove" at 76-78mph. Stays around 2500rpm and no drive-line vibration (I have it at 55-65) and the rear diff whine goes away. Drove it 4 hours each way on the highway like this a few weeks ago.

Not terribly exciting but went to the local Pull-A-Part today. Had 6 KJ's in various stages of cannibalism...

Found a rear cargo cover (have wanted one for a while - don't know why...) and a connector for the electric radiator fan in perfect condition. Mine has a little bit of arcing evidence so for $2 what the heck :waytogo:

Used my good Jeep Liberty (2003) along with a chain and some bolts to yank the front passenger side inner body panel straight on my fix-em-up Liberty (2004). A previous owner says that they slid down into a ditch on wet grass trying to avoid an oncoming car on a one-lane road and slid into an electric pole.

With the body panel yanked (and then hammered) back to where it should be (I would say we are about 98% back to where it should be; mostly cosmetic differences now) the bumper, grill, passenger headlight, and windshield washer reservoir now fit more correctly in the right place. I am replacing the plastic assembly that holds the headlights with one taken from a 2005 Liberty. It mostly fits and just needs some drilling to make the bumper and front fascia fit onto it.
