NEED 4.56 RING AND PINION FOR MY KJ
Are we talking about the whole diff? Or the internal carrier 'case' that the ring gear bolts to? The latter item may fit all kinds of Dana 30 variants. The KJ one does anyway.- u2slow

NEED 4.56 RING AND PINION FOR MY KJ
I have it on good account that the North American CRD (only offered '05-06) were 3.73 ratio. What I know of the 30A r&p is the pinion shank is fatter, i.e. larger ID (and OD) bearings. I have wondered if sleeves can be pressed onto a std D30 pinion and substituted. I thought I read that the KK...- u2slow

Installed Iron Rock Rear UCA today.
Longer arms may help, but at some point you will need a longer driveshaft, or a driveshaft spacer. Basic right-angle triangle geometry. I did the JBA tri-link extension years ago. It tilted the pinion up some. Nearly all the ujoint angle is at the tcase. I thought it would be a problem, and...- u2slow

Rancho RS5764
I put Rancho 5000 series in the front of ours. That could be the model number. I put them in with the diesel springs. They have done the job for 4? 5? years now i think.- u2slow

Broken top strut mount? Please help
Makes sense. What I do know is I didn't take the control arm off the cradle because that's the alignment adjustment I paid for!- u2slow

Actual downsides to spacer lift
I don't get the 'pre-loading' critique with spacers. Spacer on top pushes the wheel hub further away from the body. That's lift. What's the pre-load? The vehicle's own weight? As soon as I added the Teraflex top spacer, the geometry was too far off to be aligned, at all. Aftermarket control...- u2slow

Broken top strut mount? Please help
Managed to get the struts out and back in without a spring compressor or removing the lower control arm. Been too long to remember the exact details. I have no doubt the knuckle was separated. Maybe jack it up higher? maybe remove the sway bar?- u2slow

Upper control arm alternatives
BTW, what is "level" on a KJ? The wheel wells are different heights and the body lines aren't parallel.- u2slow

KJ general reliability information
The theme around here is a blown trans or a major engine problem (overheat, blown HG, cracked head, etc. Hers got to 305k km before dropping a valve seat. Dealt with it and moved on. Otherwise it's been basic maintenance. It is a 6spd manual. Something I repaired initially (reverse kicked out...- u2slow

Deeke's upper control arms?
Several folks on here poo-poo'ed the RRO's arms too. They have been on our KJ for over 10 years now with no issues. This Deeke's arm has greasable bushings which I like. I really tire of this 'best' fanclub affliction that casts hollow fear and doubt on competing products. Choice is part of...- u2slow

Upper control arm alternatives
They are probably chevy balljoints that fit 10-15 model years of half-ton pickups. Thats what they are for my RRO arms. My balljoints have over 10 years on them now.- u2slow

front tow receiver
Our KJ had some beefy brackets for a tow bar (quick release). Stock bumper unmodified. Maybe something like that could be used to mount a receiver. Edit: i think it used the factory tow hook locations.- u2slow

Exhaust replacement
I ran a Thrush welded muffler on the KJ for several years until it rusted out. Now onto a rockauto stainless thru-flow type. No jobber tailpipe I jave found is as good as the original so far as good diameter and not rusting away quickly. I used up the first one, and now onto another used one...- u2slow

Rear windshield on 06' Liberty won't close and lock in most of the time.
The latch is fastened to the lower gate with two nuts over oval holes. You may need to loosen the nuts and slide the latch rearward. Or possibly the nuts have worked loose already and thats why you have the problem.- u2slow

Rear swing gate
All I know about the anti-theft (2005) is you have to use the original type key with the fob. Having a generic key cut (off an original) wont start the jeep. The fob has to be in proximity of the ignition/jeep.- u2slow

Rear swing gate
The glass latch is probably still closed from pulling the swing door open. If you know were to poke in there with a screwdriver, you can pop it open pretty easy. If you take off the pastic panel inside, it is really obvious. I believe the metal part below the black plastic "shoe" has to be...- u2slow
