I always thought that a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit (and a new rear driveshaft) were only required on vehicles with more than three inches of lift.
I have a four inch suspension lift on my YJ without a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit. I don't notice a vibration but I find I need to replace my U-joints often.
I can remember pouring a small amount of transmission fluid into a carburetor as the engine was running with the idea that it would "clean" the engine. Sure made a lot of smoke.
I'm nervous about putting an injector cleaner in my gas tank or an additive in my engine oil. If you're wrong then...
I've dismantled & rebuilt my electric rad fan twice. Power is getting to the fan but the four carbon brushes inside are badly warn. Perhaps I can get just new brushes from a local electrical supply shop.
I tried Canada Parts Online but all I could find were universal rad fans not replacement...
Could you T-case be low in fluid? Have your mechanic check it or if you feel comfortable crawl under your Jeep, open the top fill plug and stick your finger in.
I believe the T-case takes ATF 4.

It's sounds to me like a bad u-joint. Crawl under you Jeep and grab the rear driveshaft and try to move it. If your u-joints are bad there should be some movement.
If it's not that then it's a pinion bearing issue with the rear axle.

My electric rad fan has failed for a second time. It's working right now but I really need to replace it with a new one. Can anybody recommend where I can buy one in Canada other than the stealership?
Before you say it, I have purchased tried purchasing one from a wrecking yard and it too was...
I think I drove my KJ once with the rear glass open. It was a long item & a short trip.
Now if you drive a KJ/KK with the rear glass open won't your exhaust gases come back in?
I've seen Wranglers on the trails before driving with their rear glass open, bad idea. The glass bounces up & down...
Those light fixtures are expensive. My Liberty Sport didn't come with them so I bought mine from a stealership for $30 each.

There are wheel spacers or adapters available. Are the new rims worth it?
It might be a better idea just to sell the rims you have and take the loss.

I'm guessing you have some loose or broken hardware inside your brake drum.
Typically when you reverse and apply the brakes the drum brakes self adjust.
It isn't too difficult to check your brakes. Put the rear of the vehicle up on jackstands & remove the wheels & drums.
NAPA sells replacement...
FYI: here's some Pros & Cons
Pros: you'll have more storage space for carrying stuff, you can mount extra lights and it looks cool
Cons: your gas mileage will suffer and depending on your choice of trails overhead branches will catch on the rack
Maybe you can find a roof rack with a faring to...
Mongo does your Renegade have any suspension lift or is it stock?
I believe the stock tire is 28" in diameter and with a 2.5" lift you may be able to do 31" or even 33".
Next I recommend the most popular rim size and that's not 18". They will be more expensive and harder to find. 15" tires...
I don't know about this idea.
If you only offroad in desert conditions then it would be fine but if go into the woods I can see a branch easily catching on the lamp.
And I do like the clean look of the roof. Very unique.
From this schematic it appears there is single line from the BCM to the glass release motor.
I'll check my Liberty to see where the wiring runs. Maybe it will help you find a break in the wire.
I've picked a few parts from my local wrecking yards but never thought of looking for skidplates there. If they let you walk the wrecking yard look for the Jeep Liberty Renegade with the roof mounted lightbar. They typically have all the skidplates.
I bought my skidplates at Chrysler...
I've know other Jeep owners with roof mounted lights to paint their hoods a flat black to lessen the glare from the lights.
Myself I have a pair of Hella 700FF's mounted firmly to my front clip;
With 55W bulbs and a low position they are street legal here in NB, Canada.
I can see the...
