How to Paint
I'm just going to scuff it a bit and paint it. It looks like it always must be at least 2 or 3 coats as the stuff is so runny and watery. On the rest of it, I'll just brush it and paint over the rusty spots. For 12-13 years old, the rust is not bad at all. Just surface stuff. I've...- David13

How to Paint
How to paint, or actually prepare new rear transmission cross-member with POR15 paint. It's not rusty. It's new. But it does come painted, or what may be anodized. A sort of cheap paint that looks like it will flake off and rust here and there, quite easily. So my question is, just paint it...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove to work. Well, I am going to drive to work. Drove to work yesterday, and calculated my mpg based on the last fill up. 22.9 mpg. Not too bad for the beast. But that was at 50 or 60 mph going to the big city and the junkyard. Which was at least part of why I got there 15 minutes after...- David13

Do I need a new door?
The rust is not too bad here in Utah, as the climate is so pathetically dry. Rust needs water, moisture. But shipping the doors to you would cost more than a new door. You can try car-parts.com. They list junk yard parts nationwide. But then check out your shipping costs. And, I haven't...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yesterday. I was heading mostly north, 125 miles to the junkyard for car parts. Usually it's warmer and nicer going that was, even tho' north. But no, it got colder and there was some snow, down to 23 degrees. They have signs out there "Ice possible on bridge decks". And, going over one...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove (the Jeep) 125 miles to the junkyard to get parts for my Honda car. (Smashed front by deer) I got online and call info that they had got 2 one on Thursday and one on Friday, almost same color. So I thought I had a chance to get a hood and front bumper cover. I got the front bumper...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I don't usually get any opportunity to help anyone like that. I did help a girl change a spare tire a few months ago. She was half on the highway trying ineffectively to change it. Far too dangerous not to do it for her and get her off the highway. I got my spare tire mounted. I think it...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I only have one. Plus my one key doesn't fit the door lock. I suppose the only way to remedy that is to open the door. I'm wondering if a local locksmith who does cars and programs keys would be able to cut one from a scratch pattern put into the lock. I see Strattec has the pin kit. If...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove to work. 22 miles each way, but open country miles. Only one stop light along the way. I'm beginning to like this Jeep. It hasn't let me down yet. Starts every time. dc- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
OH, not cheap. But I will pay that for the dependability. But first I got to check for parasitic draw. Seems like I have quite a bit, but that may just be all the crazy options I have. And then check for the state of the battery that I have. Thanks dc- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I have been referring to Haynes, and Chilton's and also Clymer's for more than 50 years, and have found them right on the money on just about everything. Maybe once or twice not quite right. But very helpful for some mysteries. And too skimpy for everything. But definitely worth the money...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Got gas and checked the mileage. 21 mpg I get for this fill up. That's looking more encouraging. I did try to start it today and got dash lights, but no start. I had this a few times and just shut it off and redid it, and it started. I'm not sure if it's too low voltage, or a glitch in the...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yes, it is a lot more reasonable conclusion to come to, that I don't have a cabin air filter, rather than that it is further over toward the center of the Jeep. But, air flows all around down there and comes out all over the dash, so ... That is quite a write up on LostJeeps. Probably more...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I have them from Mopar. And, I have gone behind the glove box, and spent a long time looking at and fiddling with any and everything back there, and found no door. After some searching on the internet and reading some books, Haynes, Chilton's, I was made aware that some of them are behind the...- David13

Rear Fender Flare Removal?
Yes, Amazon. Let me find a link. Just search internet for "Jeep Liberty push pins". And you will see 20 or more sellers. Maybe call them other names than push pins, and see what you get. Snap tabs, trim fasteners, I don't know what all they call them. You can search online for LIsle...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
KKs supposedly have them. But they are not behind the glove box like the books say. They are behind the radio or something, which I have yet to discover how to get in there to change them without tearing the dash apart. Maybe they are different on different models. Got the cross member...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Spinners. Yeah, I remember someone telling me they were essential. I told him I would never have one of those on my car. I never did. I started out with cars in the mid 60s. One of the newest I had was a 63' T Bird. I don't remember what gas mileage it got. But I'm sure it wasn't much...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I remember them. But then I'm probably a lot older than you. I never had any of them. I don't recall that they were something old people had at all. They were just certain type of people that had them. And some of them were exclusive. I don't think a curb feeler guy would ever have the...- David13

Rear Fender Flare Removal?
You can find a bag of those clips $5.99 for 100. Just be sure to get the right ones. I know the Honda car and the Honda ATV use the same ones, just different sizes. 8mm and 10mm. I see on the Jeeps two different lengths. Some stubby ones. dc For $8.99 at Harbor Freight I got a pair of...- David13
