    What did you do to your jeep today?

    That first renegade that had all the stuff - it was so clean and not rusty. I couldn't help but think it led a sheltered life. I should probably go back with a sawzall and get rocker panel sheetmetal sections, mine are pretty much gone under the plastic. The one I got the skid plates off of had...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    So before today, yesterday I replaced my rear upper control arm. After previously taking a control arm and installing new bushings and ball joint with my HF hydraulic press, it fixed a frequent clunking but soon enough the new parts started an occasional thud. As it turns out, the new ball joint...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    BTW I finally unloaded everything in the back and did a direct measurement, I got 19" in the rear both sides and 18" front left, 18.5" front right.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Well that didn't last. LOL. CEL came back, I spent a little time looking at O2 sensor videos hoping there was some magic trick to reaching the plug for the left bank upstream O2 sensor because I started in thinking I'd have to replace both left O2 sensors and I can't get my hand up there. Having...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    So I think it was last weekend I started on some tune-up stuff. The plan was replace spark plugs, pcv valves, and 2 Oxygen seonsors that had been giving codes. That was the plan. In practice, I replaced the spark plugs and then I unboxed the PCV valve, and then I learned there's a newer stule...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    I'm guessing there's probably a reason, but I don't think any out of the dozens of liberty vehicles that have cycled through the 4 salvage yards in the time I've been watching have been diesel. Or manual trans for that matter. Hmmm now that I think of it, I also don't think I've ever seen a...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    That's what I'm saying though. In all 4 salvage yards, the rules are to bring your own tools except torches or grinders not allowed (anything that could spark a fire) and mostly no jacks (although I usually find vehicle jacks under the back seat) Anyway they set vehicles on stands made of...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    So at this point I have rebuilt the rear suspension including a set of Monroe shocks. When I do it right, and I will, my intent is to do it once. What I don't mind doing as an interim step is to make an incremental improvement that I can do cheap. Salvage yard springs would be an option. I've...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    I was thinking about it on the way home from work yesterday, this includes a harbor freight winch and a f ton of tools. Plus a set of skid plates. That probably accounts for an inch.

    Headlights came on by themselves, 2004 Liberty.

    A mopar vehicle where the headlights come on by themselves you say? I seem to recall there being a movie to that effect...

    Seat swap - passenger seat SRS light comes on now

    I have a 2007 sport which came with high back cloth seats and swapped a set from a 2006 Limited with low back leather seats - with power and heated seats on the front bucket seats, but for the time being I'm just using the manual bases from the 2007 sport because rewiring would take more than an...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    I made a 30 minute salvage yard stop and the rear coil spring isolators were easy. Just hit the upper shock bolt with the cordless impact wrench and the springs can easily pry out. I got 4 isolators in 10 minutes. I got the 4 isolators for $10.60. The front forks were admittedly a little more...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    As far as alignment goes, when I first bought the vehicle I got new tires and asked for alignment, but the shop recommended against it because the suspension was too rough. The vehicle had at least 266k miles (I say at least because the speedometer wasn't working and the odometer wasn't going up...

    Wesway lift in 2023 using salvage yard parts?

    So I looked around but didn't really see this variant of the cheap 1" lift discussed, but this seems to fit with what I'm thinking and I'd be interested in any feedback. My plan is to just have a cheap easily installed and removed setup for offroad use. I've never really done offroad aside from...
