What did you do to your jeep today?

[sota]

I too would like that information
I haven’t heard of any
Is yours weak feeling?
When I replaced mine last time it has felt soft ever since.
I have another one ready that I’m going to try but would love to get away from the dual mass

The clutch in the green jeep is 99% dead.

I pay my kid in food.
'course, he still lives at home.

So does mine, at 25 he doesn't do too much stupid shit (unlike his old man at that age) and the price of apartments, etc, is ridiculous around here. He pays $360 a month for rent and helps me with anything I need help with. He's a good kid.

This should be a great thread that we can keep going. That way we can all keep up with the small day to day tinkering and give some ideas to those looking to do something! Pics are strongly encouraged!!! (Cheers)

Lifted it 3", added JBA upper control arms, put Alloy Ion wheels and 265x75x16 tires. Trying to add Rigid ditch lights next.

There are some great, no-drill, clamps available for the ditch lights on Amazon....

Installed them on my Jeep a few years ago. I used blue threadlocker. They are rock solid.

Didn't do much today. Felt a bit fluish. Feel like someone beat the crap out of me.

Did make a pizza run. Very nice not to have anything raising hell from the undercarriage.

Drove it to work. Very nice not having the rear axle wandering around, and not hearing any banging (other than the occasional locking/unlocking from the locker out back).... Particularly going over RR tracks and not feeling like the ass end of the Jeep is going to fall out.

Sorry to hear that……reading this makes me want to not even touch the keyboard.

We haven't started on the rent thing yet.
BUT... he is investing about $300/month in a couple funds, which is helping set him up for retirement at a young age hopefully. So, I'l ok with the no-rent thing... for now.
He's working 2 jobs, 1 of which is what he invests every month in full.
Oh and he's only 18.

Why The Jeep Liberty KJ Didn't Deserve The Hate, According To A Retired Jeep Engineer - The Autopian

The Jeep “KJ” Liberty is derided by pretty much any diehard Jeep fan because it represented the start of the car-ification of Jeeps. It was the first Jeep to introduce independent front suspension in high volumes, and while that suspension offers plenty of on-road and some off-road benefits, by...

I hate FB people.

Found a full set of skid plates and the tow hooks for the front

 

[burntkat]

Tried to find the bolts for my (05) a-pillar trim piece. Seems I have misplaced the (hex-head) bolts that went there. That's fine, rather have Phillips screws anyway... But I don't know what size they are (thread-pitch and length). Anyone happen to know?

 

[sota]

got skunked on that other manual jeep. kinda pissed off.

Did an oil change and filter on our 2009 KK (AKA Quakers). It’s got 137,736 miles on it and purrs like a kitten. I decided to use Valvoline Max life High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30
this time around. It had never seen anything but 5W-20 its whole life till now.

Read that the other day - good bit of Liberty history. Would love to see video from when it went through the rubicon

got 2 liberty's now that sometimes on starting after sitting, it'll crank, fire, and die. sounds/feels like loss of fuel pressure. turn ignition off, back on, crank it and it starts right up after.

do these things have a fuel pressure regulator issue at certain points?

Check and see if there is a security light when it dies or just before it dies.
