Front prop shaft seized onto front diff: How to remove?
Hey everybody, I am trying to get the steering rack out of my KJ and to do the service manual recommends dropping the front axle. Trouble is the front prop shaft seems to have securely attached itself to the input shaft on the front axle pinion. I've hit it with the little propane torch...- WheelNut

The $500 ScienceMobile build
What are the fabric hanging gear pockets you've used on the inside of the swing gate? Seems like a great addition. Looks like you riveted them in place?- WheelNut

PCV Valve on Oil Filler Neck
Did you call Lordco or a Jeep dealer? They probably have them in stock. Sometimes talking a to a local shop is your best and fastest bet. Price difference shouldn't be too much as it is such a small part. If you want to order online buy a Mopar part from Rockauto.com; they ship super fast. Most...- WheelNut

3.7L Coolant Leak, unsure which part this is.
What your looking at are the hoses that run from the engine block to the heater core and to the coolant reservoir. The two lines are connected with a welded on brace. Mopar part number is 55038330AB in parts listing. Rock Auto shows PN 55038331AG, so maybe there was an update. Anyway, access...- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
Care to elaborate on what will happen if one were to run E rated tires at the door sticker pressures on a Liberty? (Assuming said E rated tires are factory sized, since if the tires are a different size they will need a different pressure)- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
I found this last week. "Ply ratings" are just a carry over from the by-gone era of bias ply tires. The letter coded load rating system is what is used in modern tires and isn't necessarily correlated to the number of layers in the tire's carcass. Seems like puncture protection is simply a...- WheelNut

2002 Liberty Lift/tires
BK2002 let us know how the lift goes, post some photos, and drive impressions if you can please. Did you order longer rear shocks to go with the 926/947? I'm looking for a mild lift much like you are and have been considering the H&R, but AFAIK it seems like the 926/947 is quite similar to the H&R.- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
I'm just repeating 10 ply advice I've heard from other in my area. Tom you have any thoughts on what load ratings are appropriate for what conditions on a Liberty? I hear what you're saying about fuel mileage. Throw it out the window as a consideration- understood. I know I need a lift. That is...- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
You guys don't run E rated/"10 ply" A/T tires? All the groups I'm on around here recommend E rated for gravel/offroad/back country driving to help improve durability and lessen the chance of a flat. NVH is surely the trade off. A 'D' load rating is the next step down. Is there a big difference...- WheelNut

215/85R16 Tires?
Hey Guys, Curious if anyone has ever run this tire size on their KJ? This is about the tallest and narrowest tire I can find for a 16" rim. With what I've read about clearance challenges for the KJ I wonder if this tire could be a good way to avoid rubbing while still getting a little bit of...- WheelNut

Engine Rebuild
Drain the oil first to check it out before buying any parts. Moisture will indeed build up under the oil filler cap, and this is especially true if you only do short drives where the engine doesn't have time to stay hot for long and get rid of some of that moisture that in inside the engine. Oil...- WheelNut

H&R Spring Review
Can you post your suspension geometry diagrams? Please? I would be really interested in seeing those! There is some article floating around with a former Chrysler engineer going off about how the suspension guys set the front roll center too high and it didn't match the rear roll center nicely...- WheelNut

Avatar on my profile?
Is it possible for one of the mods/admins to increase the maximum file size for an avatar image? 2KB is absurdly small! Photoshop can't even compress my 200x200 jpeg image below 40KB. I don't imagine anyone is on dial up anymore, so trying to minimize image sizes is irrelevant.- WheelNut

H&R Spring Review
Awesome review!! Great work. Well summarized points and very thorough. Your KJ looks great! Love the black wheels and black fender flares with the fully smooth roof. Hoping to maybe spot your truck one day out in Squamish. Overall this sounds like a slightly better setup than the OME 927/948...- WheelNut

Manual Transmission and SelecTrac (Full-time 4X4)
I think I was mixing up the T-case model names in my previous post. Interestingly, according to a quote on this site: https://jeep.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Jeep_transfer_cases#NP231 The NV company's naming convention indicates the 242 TC as being stronger than the 231. The second digit indicates...- WheelNut

Manual Transmission and SelecTrac (Full-time 4X4)
Are you talking about driving in heavy rain on asphalt or on a dirt/gravel road? If you are on a non-asphalt surface you can use part time 4x4 with no issues, so you can use a NV231 without issue. If you are having traction issues driving on asphalt in the rain I'm not sure 4x4 will help in any...- WheelNut

Competent mechanic in Vancouver?
Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a GOOD mechanic in Vancouver (or Burnaby or Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam) that actually has a clue about Jeeps and is familiar with the KJ? I've had the misfortune of having my KJ in a couple HORRIBLE shops already and I'm sick of fixing... -
KJ Buying Guide
The Renegade is a good option as it has the full compliment of skid plates from the factory as well as a slightly higher ride height and the other various obvious options like the light bar.
