flip up window. what a pain
Sounds like a worn latch or mayby a dodgy microswitch in the rear handle, mine would spring open randomly in the rain when it started to fail, real treat when your driving along. I unplugged the door handle as a temporary fix. -
Jeek KJ 2.8 CRD Limited - Advice Needed
The diff usually howls under load and is silent when you take your foot off. Sadly if it's the diff it's time for a full set of bearings, Check the spider gears too, Mine are shot. Jeep is going to get a set this summer if I get time, I've got an LSD to put in as well so next winter should be fun.- KJowner

7" Halo LED upgrade on 2003 jeep liberty
Just found these, no idea if they are any good but the shape looks like they are actually made to fit our Jeeps & they have approval markings... debatable if they actually mean anything though! My sanding and 2k clear coat is currently holding up well so I have no plans to change my lights.- KJowner

chasing the elusive front end clunk
At that price I'd be buying polyurethane bar and making the bushes or looking for an old man with a lathe who wanted to earn some beer money!- KJowner

What did you do to your jeep today?
I'd still be looking for the source of the leak, otherwise your just fixing the symptoms. A new Racor filter body would probably sort it out.- KJowner

chasing the elusive front end clunk
I don't know if they will deliver to the other side of the world but you could try Autodoc, those bushes are £7.97 here! A quick Google brings up this... No idea what's involved in using a forwarding company but it might be worth a look. I'm in the UK so parts aren't as hard to get here but all...- KJowner

First Car Help!
Without taking the old head off its impossible to say if it's reusable, you would need to get it cleaned up and put a straight edge on it and see what it looks like + inspect the top of the engine block. If you are lucky it may be down to bad workmanship on the part of whoever put it back...- KJowner

chasing the elusive front end clunk
I'm laying under mine now, the bushes don't look too hard to change out with the arm on but you will have to split the bottom ball joint to get it low enough to clear the crevice off the bush.- KJowner

What did you do to your jeep today?
Pulled the front diff and driveshafts out of my parts Jeep, amazingly easy, everything just came undone without a fight, it's ready to pull 3 hours after I started & the oil I drained out was clean and golden without any shrapnel. I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight, in must be my lucky day...- KJowner

02 Power Steering leak - cannot get it sealed
Are they tube nut fittings? If so they might need a backing ring if the inserted pipe is bottoming out before the seal or the nut is running out of thread. If you have the old bits you could measure up and see where the issue is. I wonder if the original o rings were metric and you are trying to...- KJowner

Jeek KJ 2.8 CRD Limited - Advice Needed
Hello and welcome. I don't know much about the TPMS system, mine hasn't got it. The noise could be a wheelbearing, see if its louder on one corner. If the EGR is stuck open it will affect power and fuel consumption, the light will also come on if the system has been deliberately disconnected or...- KJowner

Auto Transmission Dipstick Tube
Scrapyard or Ebay is probably the easiest way, lots of jeeps being broken now, just note that the V6 and CRD have different gearboxes so make sure you get the right one.- KJowner

Front differential help
Weird! Are all the bolts and brackets that hold the diff in place all there? Something must have broken to let the diff move like that because it's all bolted to the subframe. To find out what's wrong I'm afraid your going to have to pull it out and probably replace the aluminum housing.- KJowner

lifting back to stock height.
They are an odd size spring, small and close wound with a high rate, I don't know of any other spring that fit except uprated ones built for the Jeep. OME or H&R make lift springs, for off road use don't bother with spacer lifts on old worn out springs. There is loads of information on here...- KJowner
