    Shocks for lifted KJ

    Teraflex's longer bumpstops would prevent the shock from bottoming out (i.e. max compression). I put in Rancho shocks with the slightly stiffer CRD coils.

    Anyone near Blaine border crossing?

    Is it the politics of courier companies being unable to deliver to postal boxes? I run into that... domestic parcels too. P2P did need a document signed to accept packages on my behalf.

    Anyone near Blaine border crossing?

    I used https://p2pparcel.com/ for an ebay purchase this summer. (2 transmission rebuild kits) $5 or so. Showed the receipt at the border and they did not charge any sales tax. Probably a fluke, but that offset my time and fuel nicely.

    Trailer Wheels

    The 5-on-4.5" pattern trailer axle basically tops out at 3500#. In the absence of weight markings, bearing size (or part numbers) could help narrow it down.

    Blown engine need advice! 06 Liberty

    These engines seems to have a lot of lifespan variability. Nearly at 305,000km with no major engine work or problems. My parts KJ has either a blown HG or cracked head at 172,000km. Bought and sold another that was running fine at around 200,000km. A friend had a crank snap on him, dont know...

    No heat

    Still got air in the system? New thermostat not working properly?

    Blown engine need advice! 06 Liberty

    Lots of KJ's come up for sale with a bad cyl head or trans. I would pickup one of those for a few hundred $$$. I would also hang onto the heads off the old engine just in case.

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    How are the bearings in the ends of the axle tubes? And the journal surface of the CV's? Check how much angulation that spline coupling with the passenger shaft can achieve; it should be virtually zero. If it angles, that could be your rough/crunchy noise. I havent touched the oil pan. Kind of...

    Regarding Lift Spacers on New OEM Suspension

    $82.80cad to my doorstep, for CRD coils didnt seem exorbitant.

    Regarding Lift Spacers on New OEM Suspension

    Stiffness; or rather imho, resistance to sagging. On replacing the tired stock springs, CRD coils definitely added height.

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    Sure. Then even try again with the driveshaft in, in 4Hi. (Plug off the holes in the diff to keep gear oil in.) Im pretty sure youre going to find the obvious problem on removal of the axle shafts.

    antifreeze/coolant question

    The green Prestone i'm using says HOAT compatible, and for use in just about everything.

    Regarding Lift Spacers on New OEM Suspension

    Another truth is... I have over 150,000km on this liberty with a spacer lift. I'm not taking it out or replacing it. YMMV.

    antifreeze/coolant question

    I've only used the basic green stuff in the entire 11 years owning it. Same stuff in all my vehicles.

    Strut Compressor?

    I have fought this several times. Its usually a combination of prybars, ratchet strap or come-along, and a long center punch to use for aligning the bolt holes.

    Regarding Lift Spacers on New OEM Suspension

    Fwiw, the TeraFlex budget boost system I got ended up needing aftermarket upper control arms anyway. Other ideas for just a smidge of lift... KK strut forks, and/or diesel coil springs. (I run both, with the teraflex).

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    Take the axle shafts out so you can prove the noise, drag, etc is the diff bearings or not. I can almost promise you the outer bearings and splined-coupling to the passenger shaft is what wears out first.

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    I find buying the individual rebuild pieces cheaper a la carte. Kits often cost more because they dont sell the same volume. Also be sure to get the housing end bearings. Dont think theyre part of any kit. https://www.amazon.ca/Yukon-YB-AX-007-Bearing-Differential/dp/B00EHKQ4R2

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    I would reposition the jackstands under the control arms to better simulate road conditions. Are you able to move the inner CV joints up and down in the diff housing with a prybar? Thats usually a sign those outer bearings are shot. I guess i got lucky when i snagged Timken wheel bearings...

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    Are you supporting the front of the jeep under the suspension? (Loaded) Or is the suspension at full droop? This can make a difference on cv and bearing noises. I have pulled the whole front diff out before and drove the jeep for several months while i slowly worked on the front diff. The outer...
