    I carry all my stuff in one container. When not on the trail and need extra room I can pick up the whole box and leave it in the garage. and no, I don't have a Hi-Lift in there...

    Jack,Scissor,Bottle,HighLift or What?

    These were on sale at Cdn Tire last week but just my luck there were none in stock so I got a raincheck. Someday I plan to get a Hi-Lift for my Liberty and I'll either build one of these to let me use it on my Libby; HI-LIFT ADAPTOR PROTOTYPE or buy one of these; Hi-Lift Mate

    Gas Milage

    If I'm not mistaken the Liberty's BCM also influences the automatic transmission's shift points. So if you have non-stock wheels and you haven't updated your engine computer (BCM) then not only will the speedo be off but the transmission will shift at the wrong point. Also I've read that on...

    Gas Milage

    The BCM is the engine computer. It goes by a few names. Is your speedo accurate?

    What does everybody pay for their fuel

    Here in NB Canada I'm paying $1.21 Canadian per liter. I don't know what the conversion is to the US dollar and US gallon. Tonight the price of gas is going up 3 cents per liter so I drove to the gas station to top off my tank. All it took was $5.67. It probably took that much to drive there...

    Gas Milage

    Just how are you calculating your gas mileage? Have you had your BCM set for the larger tires? That can through off your speedometer, your odometer and of course your gas mileage calculations. The last time I calculated mine I was running about 19 MPG Highway. I'm running ProComp LT245/75R16...

    This is what I woke up to this morning...

    Y'know some of us did stupid stuff when we were kids but never the stuff you see nowadays. Occasionally you will hear of a rash of vandalism like tire or soft top slashing. That can get very expensive plus you often lose a day of work getting the repairs done. I swear kids have no morals today...

    Wrecked the KJ...

    Really glad that nobody was seriously hurt. If somebody was in the back seat of the Honda they would have been killed. Did the Liberty's airbags go off? The performance of your ARB is testimony to how sturdy it is. Now I want one. What are the laws in your state for such an accident? Does...

    Low Fuel Light

    When diesel powered cars first appeared on the market (remember VW rabbits & glowplugs?) there was a big difference between the price per liter of gas and diesel. That was part of their appeal. I can't help to think today that the of fuel is price gouging. Have you ever noticed that whenever...

    Towing Weight

    You should be fine pulling a boat & trailer weighing in at less than 2,000 lbs. You could visit a scale house and have them confirm the weight. I have an 04 Libby Sport c/w the towing package an routinely pull the max weight of 5,000 lbs. Of course I've added a load leveling hitch & an...

    Low Fuel Light

    My Libby will run forever long after the "Low Fuel" indicator comes on but that's because the fuel sender isn't accurate. On my Patriot when the "Low Fuel" indicator comes on I have maybe 50 feet before it runs out LOL, seriously. I do believe the fact that the fuel pump needs fuel to cool...

    Low Rear end when towing

    I don't know if they sell them in the UK but I've bought a load leveling trailer hitch for my gas powered (spark infested :icon_lol:) Liberty. It cost me about $600 Cdn and helps keep the trailer & my Libby level. And here's how to set one up...

    Help with 4X4 Disengagement Clunk

    I say get another Jeep owner to take your Libby for a test drive. It may be normal. My 04 Liberty Sport clunks a bit when shifting from/to 4WD, especially when it's under load. 4WD Lo makes even more noise if I don't do it just so. Do you trust this mechanic? He may be trying to fleece you...

    Ways to monitor trans temp

    My Autel MaxiTripp "scangauge" doesn't show the transmission temp. I assumed it was due to the "scangauge" but it may be due to the PCM. tjkj2002 makes a good point. It may sound like a good idea to run as cool as possible but an engine & transmission must run at an operating temperature to...

    Dash Lights Going Nuts

    I can leave my Libby in the driveway for a week and it's battery won't drain down. Have you modified the wiring any? Like adding an accessory? an aftermarket deck? You could check the drain on the battery by disconnecting the battery and putting an ammeter in series with the leads. With...

    Ways to monitor trans temp

    I've had problems in the past with overheating my transmission so I'm interested in monitoring the temperature too. I have a OBD scanner but it only seems to have the option of monitoring the water temp not the transmission. I'm thinking of either installing a temperature sensor in the...

    Finding Electric Brake Wire.

    If I'm not mistaken the "Brake Wire" runs to the 7 pin Mopar trailer hitch electrical plug and eventually to your trailer's electrical brakes.

    UHAUL + Libby = Questions

    Okay I'll add my two cents since I have towed U-Haul trailers and my own trailers in the past. I have to agree with what "Straight6Jeff" and "TJKJ2002" have said. U-Haul trailers are known to have safety issues. The ones that I have rented were often is hard shape, poorly maintained and...
