    Gear Swap

    I don't know why I didn't think of doing this trick the other day, when I had them apart. I will try it out, but I am pretty certain I have 3.73s. I called the junk yard that I bought these axles from. Spoke to the same salesman, he is looking for a set of 4.10s for me. Said he will figure it...

    Gear Swap

    Well I was able to pick up a matching set of a new from a local junk yard. Was told these were 4.11 gear ratios, but I’m a little skeptical. The tag was missing on the rear but there was a little tag on the bottom bolt if the front axle with the numbers “3 73” stamped into it. I pulled both...

    Replacing Driveshaft U Joints

    I replaced the u-joints in my Liberty shortly after getting it all put back together (bought it in October of 2021, spent 6 months getting it on the road between wait times on parts and title issues). U-joints were the first thing I did. They were simple. Took me less than a couple hours and I...

    Front CV Driveshaft Replacement

    I guess we’re not running huge tires on these things o I guess I can see where this axle will be enough. Wish they had a grease fitting on the joints so the joints could be continuously greased.

    Front CV Driveshaft Replacement

    I guess I could do that. But then rebuilding in the field to just rebuild again once I get home. But at least it’ll get me home.

    Iron Rock Off Road Rear Lower Control Arms

    Any long term reviews of the Iron Rock Off Road rear upper and lower control arm system? Any notable differences in ride? I recently purchases this system in preparation for replacing the rear axle for a 4.10 geared axle. Excited to get this in and installed. After initial look, this system...

    Gear Swap

    can’t figure out how to do multiple quotes on my phone… Thanks for the info guys. I am running bigger tires (265/75/16) so I am hoping to drop those RPMs right down to the top of the torque curve. Last night we headed to camp pulling the wheeler. I locked out overdrive for the whole trip. It...

    Gear Swap

    I found a front carrier and a rear axle at a junkyard about 85 miles (hour and a half) from my house on Car-Parts. Calling today to confirm availability. Both axles are going to be around $800, which is more than I was hoping to spend. Wondering if I can haggle with them a little bit to get that...

    Gear Swap

    So what you’re telling me, is that the later axle will not work in my KJ? Or will it I just keep the speedo pickup where it is? In the trans?

    Gear Swap

    found a couple options on Car Parts, one not to far away. There seems to be a change in the axles on 4/19/05. What was the change? Do I need to be concerned? Also, what is the technical term for the front differential? Seems to be quite a bit of confusion over the name and what I’m looking...

    Gear Swap

    Searched around local junk yards. No one seems to have any 4 cylinder gas Liberties. Just checked car parts. Don’t seem to Brest them down to axle ratio. Will have to call or email.

    Gear Swap

    Looking to do a gear swap in my 05 Liberty CRD. Put a 3” lift kit under it and 265/75/16 tires. It does ok but definitely struggles, especially when I get my 3500 lb boat behind it. Been told 4.10 is my only option. And have been told the easiest thing to do is swap out compete axles from a KJ...

    New to Jeeps

    What credentials do I need to post a for sale ad? Jeep needs to go! This has been a great little project. I do really enjoy this Jeep and it continues to impress me every time I drive it. But I’ve found another project that has caught my eye.

    New to Jeeps

    Hey guys! Looking to get this thing reheated and I am struggling to find a rear end and a front differential locally with a 4.10 gear ratio. Summit racing does have some gear sets for a Dana 30 and Chrysler 8.25 combo. But these will not work with the Dana 30a, correct? Or are the housings...

    CRD Weak Brakes

    I agree with you. But fluid all drained out when I pulled the calipers off doing the lift. I the driver’s side hose and added brand new fluid and bled all 4 corners, starting the the rear passenger side, furthest from the master cylinder. No air. Don’t believe it is in the fluid. Thanks for the...

    CRD Weak Brakes

    Hey all. I have an 05 Liberty CRD, with a 2” lift and 265/70/16 tires that I bought in October 2021. The brakes have always seemed weak to me. Weak as in spongy. Anyone experienced this issue and solved it? I love everything about this truck, except for the brakes. Any help is greatly...
