    Back Spacing

    Not knowing much about newer Liberty's I'm still going to say you will have rubbing issues Let someone chime in as I'm not sure about them, but with 15x8 and 3.75" of backspacing I needed 3.25" of lift to not rub EVEN with pounding the pinch welds so don't bother trying it stock The lower the...

    Haven't bothered cleaning the throttle body but I replaced the TPS and it helped a lot with acceleration Might want to look into those as well

    Custom Roof Crossbars for a Low Profile Rack

    I'd look at N2O bottle brackets and get your idea from them They have ones for 4 3/8" bottles but obviously they aren't as long as your tanks, so you could use the same design, just extend it Also, most of them have either screws or some type of bolt to hold it closed, so you could change it...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I took it as him referring the KJ to being limited when off-roading, not the "limited" model

    May buy this 2005 Jeep Liberty

    Oh believe me I know it isn't a comparison, the Jeep is nothing compared to my car :happy175: They both have their advantages and disadvantages, each being good at what they should/can be used for, so in my comparison of my Jeep and my car, my car is better in every way because I don't ever have...

    May buy this 2005 Jeep Liberty

    Pretty subjective I think to where you're located, because ever since I've bought my Challenger I've done nothing but drive it and the Jeep has sat in the grass If I need to hall something, go somewhere I know will have dirt roads/gravel, or if it snows I'll drive the Jeep, but only then The...

    May buy this 2005 Jeep Liberty

    Honestly IMO if a vehicle is being sold for hundreds, or even a couple thousand then it's more than likely junk The first one is trash and that's where it needs to go, and even $800 for a Jeep that has 270k miles is a gamble, especially since they take it off-road which usually means it's beat...

    Strut/spring/shock size

    No need for any of that because Daystar is junk and it'll all sag even more in no time I wouldn't put any more money (suspension wise) into it until you can get a suspension lift, not a spacer lift

    JBA 2 1/2" Lift with UCA's

    People have ran stock ones with 4"+ so don't worry about those This is one reason why you should try your hardest to do the lift yourself because mechanics will only try and have you buy more things that aren't needed, also because they don't have experience with KJs

    Dome light on 03 KJ

    If one does it they all will, they draw too little power which the KJ supplies even when they're shut off which is the reason for the glow especially when you buy cheap Chinese ones

    Loose cowl?

    Every one I've seen has had a slight gap Also, there's slots all down it so it's definitely not meant to be a water barrier of any kind to my knowledge.. if so, they did a pretty bad job at designing it I wouldn't worry about it too much

    Ome + h&r

    If your springs are giving you 1.5" of lift and you added the iso I'd definitely be looking at extended rear shocks Having stock length shocks extended 2.25" all of the time will sooner or later blow them if doing hard off-roading Stock length shocks were meant for stock height suspension, so...

    Budget build, i need advise

    Welcome Checkout the lift section and you can learn all about this stuff Price is all depending on what you want out of your KJ because the higher you go, the ride quality you want and also if you want adjustability will all play factors into how much you'll be spending Zero spacer lifts...

    Broken OME 927

    If you truly clean your vehicle the way you claim, none of the areas in which you have easy access to would have rust that bad Maybe you did get a defective set of front springs (regarding them breaking, not being so corroded), but you can clearly see certain parts of your UCA is rusted just as...

    Pictures of 02-04 cut or trimmed bumpers?

    I like to use a Utility knife on my 05, it cuts like butter and you can adjust your speed so you don't mess up at all I marked mine with a dry erase marker so I could easily wipe it off once I was finished and then used a palm sander to clean it all up There are numerous ways to achieve a clean...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Just cut the fender liner on each side, flip it up and hammer the weld over as hard and as flat as possible then put the flap back down, melt it with a heat gun and smooth it until you can't tell it was ever done Once some dirt flies up onto it it'll look like it was brand new

    LED Headlight Coversion

    If you read around the different sections on the site you'll see that it's not really worth it unless you'd like to have flood lights for headlights LEDs in a halogen housing don't project down the road a lot, just out in front so they're useless Also no company makes any sort of aftermarket LED...

    Inside Frame rust prevention

    I got about 6 cans of 3M Professional Grade Undercoating last July and it's held up great all through winter None of it has come off and it still looks good as new once cleaned
