Key stuck in ignition (and the fix)
Worked like a charm for the moment. Can get key in and out no problem. Transmission can be moved about without the normal stops. I'll deal with that separately.- kmitch

Is there a preferred code reader?
I used the ODBLink MX Bluetooth and liked it, but it only works with Android and I now have an IPhone. You can read real time data, on gauges or graph. Capture data, as well as read and clear codes. Just received their latest version today which works with android, iPhone and Windows. I’m...- kmitch

What did you do to your jeep today?
I'm assuming there's a high chance of breaking the bolts if the rust is that bad? Otherwise, why wouldn't the dealership do the same?- kmitch

What did you do to your jeep today?
So, basically I'm S.O.L. on putting a tow hitch on my Liberty :( If so, I guess I'll be selling it so I can get something with a tow hitch. Won't go off-road without a rear hard point for winching/strapping. And was planning on getting a small trailer to hold camping gear and what not.- kmitch

Check your Jeep on mopar.com it will tell you if there are any recalls. I just got one done which replaced the rear lower control arms because of the rust.- kmitch

What did you do to your jeep today?
Got the lower control arms replaced on recall. Dealer couldn’t put the tow hitch on, frame was too rusty. So can an aftermarket hitch be put on instead? Assuming I knock any loose rust off the frame.- kmitch

Stuck in Hamilton Ohio
Well, according to the shop. They jump started and it ran fine. They got it into the shop bay and after 2 minutes running the alternator was super hot. Battery not holding a charge either. so, new battery and alternator, parts are available so it should be ready by 2pm (late check out time)- kmitch

So, traveling down I74 battery light comes on, a little farther multiple dash lights on and it’s in limp mode. Pretty sure either A/C clutch or compressor locked up (no more nut on front of pulley) and the belts not turning the alternator. got a tow to tires plus in Hamilton and staying nearby.- kmitch

What did you do to your jeep today?
Topped off the oil. Had to make a spanner wrench to get the cap off, it was on so tight I couldn’t budge it. There’s been a new noise lately when braking, so I checked the brakes. I think the noise was from the 3 loose lug nuts on the passenger side. Retorqued all the lug nuts twice...- kmitch

Overheated today
I put the Murray radiator in a little while back, and haven't had any issues with it. Bought this one because the local O'R had it in stock, so if there are issues I can take it back in person. https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/yet-another-cooling-system-thread.76833/- kmitch

What did you do to your jeep today?
Turned a 1/2 hour replace a/c clutch into 4 hour job. Forgot to get snap ring pliers. HD ones from autozone have replaceable tips that also swivel 90 degrees either way, made getting snap ring off easy. Then putting the new one on, the old bolt snapped. Go pick up lunch and screw extractor. Got...- kmitch

Recovery Gear Storage
Yep, my con-side argument is from experience. I had considered your same pro-side arguments when I put a really nice sliding drawer system in an XJ I owned. Had all my recover gear, spare parts, some camping gear, all nicely stored and prioritized. The warning I gave above was an actual...- kmitch
