What did you do to your jeep today?
Been super busy the last few days, haven't quite finished my transmission skid plate, but I do have it mounted. I'll be adding some brackets and gussets to make it worthy of carrying my KJ over the trails. I'm still looking to level my Liberty; I've installed the OME Springs and shocks, I...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
I spun out on the ice two months ago, but there was only a curb to hit. I know how it feel, spinning helplessly in traffic hoping that you don't run into anyone. I was only going about 30 mph, but it was a much smaller road and I still don't know how I didn't hit anyone in the lanes around me...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
Well, the stud idea didn't work, there's not enough material to thread a bolt on. I bought the steel today for my transmission skid plate; about $60 US. Finished with my templating today, I'll finish cutting tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be finished by the end of the week. I'll let you know how...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
I just removed mine on Saturday to change the front diff fluid. One of the front bolts snapped off with about 3/8" showing. Trying to decide if I should try to remove it or just use a nut on it to act as a stud?- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
Installed the silicone CAC hoses last night; turbo side was easy, engine side took some effort, but its all in now. Runs great again, boost is back and it builds good power all throughout the rpm band. I decided to replace the airbox intake hose as well but its out off stock right now, so when...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yes, it has a factory engine skid, but I need transmission and transfer case plates too. I can see the mounting holes in the crossmembers, so I should probably just plan to fabricate them. What material should I use, steel maybe aluminum? Back to the drawing board... :)- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
I couldn't find the Samco, but I got a set of Mishimoto silicone hoses; they should be delivered tomorrow. I'm checking things off the list to be ready for off roading this spring/summer. My Dad's 05 Rubicon is almost finished being built so that we can go together, but it started off with lots...- Btownpreacher

2006 Liberty no start (complicated)
Alright, I think I found the right diagrams. Gonna start tracing wires tomorrow to see what I can find. I drove it 40 miles today with no issues, so right now its still an intermittent problem. I suspect that it will likely get worse if I keep driving without fixing it.- Btownpreacher

2006 Liberty no start (complicated)
I don't believe there's any electrical upgrades except lighting; headlights and a light bar which is currently disconnected, but is wired directly to the battery's auxiliary terminals normally. Where do I get an ASD wiring harness diagram? That would simplify the wiring search. ;)- Btownpreacher

2006 Liberty no start (complicated)
One more thought, when it acts up the fuel level gauge won't read, and it starts throwing me MIL's. As soon as I change the fuse they all go away and the gauge works normally. Random thought- my tpms won't show me the tire pressures. I had the sensors replaced and programed twice, but the...- Btownpreacher

2006 Liberty no start (complicated)
Thanks for the information Guys! After charging the battery, and checking various fuel components, I went for the Big Leagues. One of the contractors that I work with had a Chrysler/Jeep computer that gave him DTC's and data indicating an ECM fault. He used his diagnostic genius to discover that...- Btownpreacher

2006 Liberty no start (complicated)
No, I just pumped it 20 times; I heard the fuel going through it but I'm guessing most of what I heard was air in the filter/head. I do not know how old the battery is, but it's a 1000ca AGM battery. It cranked the engine full speed many times for 6 hours before it started to run down. I took...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
I took my CRD to a shop to get a tire alignment on Thursday, and it died at the shop. first they said it an out of fuel (impossible, had 3/4 tank when I dropped it off), then they said that it died when they drove it over the speed bump outside the front of the shop. It cranks fine, same as...- Btownpreacher

2006 Liberty no start (complicated)
Ok so I took it a shop and they used a much better scanner than mine and pulled 22 DTC's. He printed the codes out, cleared them, power cycled the keys, and 17 DTC's came back. Many of them are an engine control circuit low, and there is a low system voltage light, but he had a battery booster...- Btownpreacher

2006 Liberty no start (complicated)
I put 5 gallons in it to be sure. I primed it 20 times like the owners manual said and then cranked it, no start; repeated this about five times with no luck. The fuel filter was replaced about 5-6k miles ago; I hadn't had any issues up to this point, even when it was 2 degrees on Christmas eve.- Btownpreacher

BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain T/A or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S
The BFG Trail Terrain is an on-road all terrain, focused more on road traction than other at's. I personally own a set on my old 4wd Ford escape. They run better than the all seasons that they replaced. I bought them because I had a blowout and my spare was 15 years old. The price was good and...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
OME parts all the way around; I just finished installing the front yesterday. The ride quality is great, definitely better than the spacers that were on it. After it settled, I'm running 20.75" in the front, and 21.75" in the rear. No rubbing at all, front or rear, turned passenger or driver...- Btownpreacher
