What did you do to your jeep today?
The Jeep has been sitting for almost two weeks due to my unexpected injury. Asked the wife to take it to Walmart today to blow the stink off and it would not turn over. I've been dealing with a parasitic drain for a while now so I bought a deep cycle battery a while back. Should be fun this...- smittyfromPA

Replaced Ball Joints on JBA A-Arms today
I'm still waiting to hear back from Marlin about the warranty fix for the coil-overs. Was it just the valves you replaced? Just curious before i shoot him another email, but since I am on crutches the next two months i guess there is no rush as I cant do anything.- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
I planned to go to an off road park this weekend but that was scrapped due to injury - me not the Liberty. :icon_sad: I ruptured my left Achilles tendon so after surgery next week I'll be in a cast for 6-8 weeks. Luckily I can still drive as its not my right foot but I won't be up to the task if...- smittyfromPA

Another drivetrain noise. Ideas?
uh-oh, mine has almost that much movement too and makes a little clicking noise when i move it. :icon_eek: Cant detect any additional noise when driving but with the mud tires its pretty loud anyway. I also had the CV replaced about 7000 miles ago and the shop told me that the intermediate...- smittyfromPA

Steering rack- best one to get?
Mine was Napa re-manufactured. I only have about 7000 miles on it so cant attest to the quality just yet.- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
Did it sound anything like this? You can start hearing it at 46 seconds in on the video. At 3:45 min mark it chirps going down the hill quite a bit. The video is from June and its gotten worse.- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
I gave up and went fishing this weekend. :fishing1: The noise started after new JBA lift and UCA's last June. Barely heard it but its been progressing and is loud now. When in the vehicle it sounds like its coming from directly underneath the center console. Outside, it sounds high up on the...- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
I had my wife stand on the rock rails and bounce the Jeep up and down to recreate the annoying squeaking that i have been trying to track down for a year. Used to just occur when wheeling, now its happening with the least bit of body roll on pavement. All the shiny new parts and $ spent on it...- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
I have the same one its a little over a year old already, got it when I knew i wanted a winch. Great battery. Deep cycled it once so far when the Jeep sat for 10 days and after charging it up no issues.- smittyfromPA

Smartphone shot of the day
Exactly, it does clear the tire just barely but can be an issue depending on what you load on it. Standard-size coolers are no problem and that's what I usually carry, or deer. I hope I get a deer someday big enough that the spare becomes a problem when loading it! Oh, just remembered that the...- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
Just ordered a 4x KJ front guard from JBA and a Skid Row front skid. Skid Row said I'd have theirs tomorrow (I live an hour away from them and its in stock), Marlin from JBA said the front guard may be out of stock could be about 3 weeks. Hopefully I won't have to do much fiddling around to get...- smittyfromPA

How did you first find your KJ?
Found it on the dealers lot in 2005. Bought my first "SUV" a few years earlier (Ford Escape) and did not like it. The KJ is my first Jeep and still going strong after a lot of TLC.- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
What kind of fine tuning? I'm asking because i have close to 6K on mine now too and have added an ARB bumper and winch (synthetic line) since they were installed. I have them set at 10 clicks rebound and 6 compression (they squeaked at 12 and 4 so Marlin suggested changing - still squeak a...- smittyfromPA

What did you do to your jeep today?
Loaded up the KJ for an fishing trip Saturday with a 100 mile drive to the river. About the halfway mark (at 4:30 am) the Ford truck following me blows their engine. He had 200K + miles on it so he was not as mad as I would have been in that situation. So we loaded up the KJ with 3 passengers...- smittyfromPA
