    Lost 5 mpg???

    So long story short I heard a sound which turned out to be a hole in the rubber elbow of my pcv pipe. I think basically it was just rotten and my spongebob filter in the airbox where the crankcase inlet air comes from got dirty enough that the vacuum caused the rotten boot to fail. I went and...

    Wondering if anyone also has a 4 door Wrangler or Ram?

    I'm curious if any KJ folks also happen to have a 4 door Wrangler or Ram? I've been wondering what the reliability is like on them and rather or not they are somewhat simple to work on like the Liberty? I've really had few problems along the way and I haven't had anything so far that I couldn't...

    2007 PCV and PCV vent hose?

    Just wanted to update in case anyone else runs into this as our rides age. I did hit everywhere and none of the parts stores even had the big screw in PCV. Apparently because they don't go bad much. I did find a Napa that had one though. But it did no good because they don't have anything on...

    2007 PCV and PCV vent hose?

    It has the new style on it that they put as a TSB upgrade kit for the older models. Big thread in PCV and plastic and rubber hose setup. I didn't see this anywhere I looked at the parts stores. What is the concensus on the issue of me blocking the hole with my finger and my engine choking down...

    2007 PCV and PCV vent hose?

    Hey guys, it looks like I am going to have to go to the dealer for these parts??? I heard a noise, couldn't figure out if it was like a singing idler bearing or a really sharp vacuum noise. It was too hot to pull the belt so I decided to check and cut the possibilities in half. So I pulled my...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    We have had a ton of hard rain. It has stopped now it seems but I am dealing with some more serious 4x4 work now. Lot of big washes and stuff to crawl. Still no rubbing issues even crawling stuff that gets the wheels off the ground. No issues with the tires either. The only thing I have noticed...

    235/70R16 section width big enough to protect rims?

    Nice find! They look great. Thanks for sharing.

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    You hit it dead on. I have pretty much done all of my normal routine hauling now with them and you're right. The D load range seems pretty much optimal. They handle loads with a better feel, but don't ride like a wagon either. I use it like a truck or cargo van. It's traveling hauling a load...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    Been there done that when I was younger... lived way out a state gravel road, and up a gravel drive up the side of a mountain. The main thing I remember is that the gravel was hard on them, and much harder if it was washed stone or just rock vs crush run, which packs down pretty hard if there...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    No no... I don't mind to clarify. TA/KO originals... the new look of the 2 hasn't grown on me yet. 245/70/16 size. Stock steel wheels 2007 Sport I have NEW shocks and struts with NEW springs and there has been enough time that they are settled as well. If you have saggy front springs...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    They got monsoon tested today, lol. Didn't even have to wash the blue of the white letters on this set. I might could see some of the hydroplaning complaints that are floating around now. Mine didn't like full on hydroplane. But they are new and these aren't as wide as what a lot of people run...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    Well, I got them installed and only drove home on them, checked the clearances and all that stuff. Initial opinion from one drive like most people would do to check out their buddy's new tires, I think I like them slightly better so far on the pavement. So far I have not noticed the extra...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    Picked up the BFG TA/KO's today. Decided to wait for install so I can get alignment done too. Works out cause it gives me an actual chance to comb over them first and get info I wouldn't have. Tread depth is the same. Tread pattern is a little more different than you can gather without them...

    Whirring sound from frontend

    I've been in one that made the whirrrr sound sometimes. It was the 4wd drive shaft. I think the proper term is prop shaft? Both the front and rear driveshafts look to have similar parts and I think a whirrr sound could be either of them.

    Bleeding 3.7 cooling system

    To me, this aspect of the Liberty is the worst part I have encountered so far with my 2007. I think my biggest issue leading up to this was I could not get my bleed screw out of the upper goose neck. Every time besides the last time I would have to back it off a bank to finish filling and...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    Money spent. I went with the BFG All Terrain. I would have went back with General again if it hadn't turned into an ordeal. I think I also would have been satisfied if I had made another choice. I think the Falken, Hankook, and Cooper all terrain types would have served fine as well. And the...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    Cooper... that's one I have always liked. Kinda how I got to doing business at my preferred shop. I tend to keep some vehicles a long time, and every one of them has had Cooper tires on it at some point. Even my Jeep has a used one on it now that I picked up as a replacement for the one I...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    I have no complaints at all with the General AT2. I would get another set of AT2 or a set of the ATX. My issue is that I do my business with locally owned tire shops. Owners and employees are members of my community. These shops are unable to get me 4 of the AT2 or ATX and it's been ongoing...

    BFG Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain?

    Since my tire guy can't get me 4 more General AT2 tires at the moment he has offered up a good deal on a leftover set of TA/KO and a good deal on the Rugged Terrain... the new tire not to be confused with the Rugged Trail. I have mauled this over and I just cannot decide. Both deals are...

    2011 Liberty Sport question (will these tires fit?)

    Are you liking the BFG's? I mostly wonder at this point if you find the ride rougher or if there is a big weight difference that you notice? For future reference, 225/75r16 will indeed fit. Matter of fact my 2007 Sport came stock with this size. However, you really have to watch that size...
