    Transfer case swap

    You'd need to give me more detail. What transmission do you have? What transfer case do you have? I'm assuming you have a 231-J, due to only having part time 4WD. And what are you looking to swap to?

    Coolant leak. Water pump?

    Very lucky. Did you replace both at the same time? Or did you only replace the broken one?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    waitwaitwait, maybe I'm missing something. He's pissed that you're only charging him $140 for a complete LBJ job when you originally quoted him higher? Man some people are made of spare parts.

    What am i missing to lift my 06 KJ Renegade.

    Don't forget Teraflex front bump stops. Also add hockey pucks to the rear as well for added bump stops.

    Suspension assembly

    It sounds like you recommend collecting the parts piece by piece and then assembling them that way? Instead of buying a complete kit. which I have no problem with, I'm just trying to take the easiest route and be happy with the ride quality of the jeep. Sorry if I'm slow to catch on, not good...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Custom made me some floor mats. Didn't wanna spend $60-$80 for floor mats, so went to Lowes and picked up a $7 outdoor mat and cut it up with a razor knife. Didn't turn out half bad I gotta say!

    Suspension assembly

    Ahh gotcha. Doesn't seem too hard to do to get them settled. And I have no problem upgrading to JBA arms if need be. I've never done suspension before so I'm just trying to get a feel for what I'm getting into.

    Suspension assembly

    Thank you all for the knowledge. I did not know new upper arms would be needed, but I have heard you guys swear by JBA upper arms. I have to see if theres a good shop around me that will assemble front shocks that I can trust. and @tommudd what do you mean by "They will come down some but...

    Suspension assembly

    I'm looking at getting the frankelinft from http://www.boulderbars.com/frankenlift.htm. But I see they have an already assembled version for around $1,300, and an unassembled version for around $1,000. My question is how hard is it to assemble front struts and springs? I've never had to deal...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Took the liberty through town today. We got over a foot of snow and the city plow response was SLOW. So seemed like a good excuse to "Break in" libbys new transmission and test out the 4X4 for the first time. All went well and I never knew these little things RIP through the snow! Tomorrow I...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Picking up my liberty from the local transmission shop today! The 42RLE got a complete overhaul along with the updates made to the transmission after 2007, to alleviate the transmissions inherent problems. All new internals and a brand new torque converter and updated valve body. FINALLY...

    Suspension time

    Alright, its finally got to that point in my list of "What to do next" ended on my KJ's suspension. As far as I know, I'm on 185K stock components. Jeep makes so many creaks and cracks it aint funny. So, I've turned to the wonderful people here for suggestions, such as OME. I hear thats the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Oh no, they dont die quickly. Its just a habit of mine, when I go out of town, I put my batteries on a charger. So if need be I can use my vehicles right away once I get back

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yes! If you know you're vehicles will be parked for periods of time, put them on a charger! I've got one for my truck, I usually remove the battery and store it in the garage when I go away for work. Just store the battery off the ground (On a table or shelf) and leave it on the charger. It...
