Proper Pressure
nbas you beat me to it! I was going to post the same document. I've been trying to do some research on this subject recently too as I'm going to buy some new tires soon. Seems to me that avoiding LT tires for a Liberty that isn't a ******** off-road toy would be the way to go. The pressures...- WheelNut

Hello, thinking of restoring a KJ for the wife...
You gotta get a 4x4 man! Might as well get a car if you're only going to go 2wd Pretty rare to see a 2wd Liberty up here, but maybe there are lots of them down south? I'd say one thing to look out for is any issues with the HVAC system. Replacing the heater core is a big job, so you don't want...- WheelNut

Front Lower Control Arms
Interesting failure. Did the threads on the ball joint stud tear out, did the nut fail, or did the control arm crack and let the ball joint stud out? One would assume the lower ball joint nut was over torqued (maybe multiple times?), or something was heat treated improperly in production. I...- WheelNut

steering rack cradle bolt top of bushing worn
Does anyone know how polyurethane compares to "rubber" in it's oil resistance? Looking at some engineering websites it appears that PU is NOT listed as being resistant to motor oil or petroleum products. (source: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/polyurethane-chemical-resistance-d_1878.html)...- WheelNut

2007 Jeep Liberty Bilstein 5100s and lift springs
It looks really good! I’m looking to do the same suspension lift this winter or spring. Hoping to paint the fenders black like you have done too.- WheelNut

Front prop shaft seized onto front diff: How to remove?
Thanks for all the tips guys! That video is a good one. Removing the oil filter would definitely have made things much easier in removing the steering rack. Next time I'll do that (Hopefully next time isn't soon!). I just did an oil change a few weeks ago, so I didn't want to dump the engine...- WheelNut

Front prop shaft seized onto front diff: How to remove?
Factory service manual states that this is the way to remove the steering rack. Is it possible to remove it another way? Maybe remove the fans? I got the rack out. I did not get the drive shaft to separate though. I've given up for now. I'll have to fix the drive shaft after I get everything...- WheelNut

Any opinion on newer Jeep Libertys?
One big advantage of the pre-facelift Liberty is that it is the best looking Liberty of all! The KK's had a cloth roof option which is VERY cool, so that could be a bonus. A vehicle that is 9 years newer is certainly an advantage. Test drive a couple and see what you think.- WheelNut

Seat swap options?
I'd really love to swap out the seats in my '05 Sport to something else as I find them quite uncomfortable after an hour. What are my bolt in options? Any chance seats from a Grand Cherokee would fit? Are the seats from the '05+ Limited KJs the same as the Sport trim seats just with leather...- WheelNut

Front prop shaft seized onto front diff: How to remove?
Hey everybody, I am trying to get the steering rack out of my KJ and to do the service manual recommends dropping the front axle. Trouble is the front prop shaft seems to have securely attached itself to the input shaft on the front axle pinion. I've hit it with the little propane torch...- WheelNut

The $500 ScienceMobile build
What are the fabric hanging gear pockets you've used on the inside of the swing gate? Seems like a great addition. Looks like you riveted them in place?- WheelNut

PCV Valve on Oil Filler Neck
Did you call Lordco or a Jeep dealer? They probably have them in stock. Sometimes talking a to a local shop is your best and fastest bet. Price difference shouldn't be too much as it is such a small part. If you want to order online buy a Mopar part from Rockauto.com; they ship super fast. Most...- WheelNut

3.7L Coolant Leak, unsure which part this is.
What your looking at are the hoses that run from the engine block to the heater core and to the coolant reservoir. The two lines are connected with a welded on brace. Mopar part number is 55038330AB in parts listing. Rock Auto shows PN 55038331AG, so maybe there was an update. Anyway, access...- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
Care to elaborate on what will happen if one were to run E rated tires at the door sticker pressures on a Liberty? (Assuming said E rated tires are factory sized, since if the tires are a different size they will need a different pressure)- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
I found this last week. "Ply ratings" are just a carry over from the by-gone era of bias ply tires. The letter coded load rating system is what is used in modern tires and isn't necessarily correlated to the number of layers in the tire's carcass. Seems like puncture protection is simply a...- WheelNut

2002 Liberty Lift/tires
BK2002 let us know how the lift goes, post some photos, and drive impressions if you can please. Did you order longer rear shocks to go with the 926/947? I'm looking for a mild lift much like you are and have been considering the H&R, but AFAIK it seems like the 926/947 is quite similar to the H&R.- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
I'm just repeating 10 ply advice I've heard from other in my area. Tom you have any thoughts on what load ratings are appropriate for what conditions on a Liberty? I hear what you're saying about fuel mileage. Throw it out the window as a consideration- understood. I know I need a lift. That is...- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
You guys don't run E rated/"10 ply" A/T tires? All the groups I'm on around here recommend E rated for gravel/offroad/back country driving to help improve durability and lessen the chance of a flat. NVH is surely the trade off. A 'D' load rating is the next step down. Is there a big difference...- WheelNut
