    2004 Jeep Liberty Rear End Issue

    Any bolt holes egged out?

    Is this the end of Liberty?

    Or just some old car guy with a mill in his hobby shop. $80 cash.

    Suspension upgrade

    The diesel coil springs are stiffer. Might be an idea.

    oil leak

    Beware there are different gaskets for the metal vs plastic rocker covers. Timing cover, oil pan, and various sensors can leak also. I reckon I cut the leaking in half with a new rocker cover gasket. I can put up with the remaining leak and top up the oil once between oil changes.

    ABS/Traction Control disables on low traction surfaces

    Sorry to sound 'backhanded' - wasn't my intent. I get to the same point sometimes where I can't see the forest for the trees. Need to take a step back and re-assess what actually matters to keep the thing driving. Edit: also have dealt with 90's Chevy ABS systems that had no place in a vehicle...

    ABS/Traction Control disables on low traction surfaces

    I could have found, bought, and swapped in an LSD rear end in less time than this thread has gone on. No scan tools or shop visits to pay for. The 3-key-cycle trick spits out the essential OBD2 codes just fine.

    ABS/Traction Control disables on low traction surfaces

    Factory limited slip. I would prefer a locker actually - but would prefer either one over electronic traction control.

    New Jop, what should I do to it next?

    Spacers weren't a problem for me. I went with Teraflex kit and aftermarket upper arms. That was 12 years and 150,000km ago. Few other tricks along the way.... KK strut forks, Tri-link spacer, 4runner coils, load-assist shocks, and CRD front coils. This is a cheaper copy of the Teraflex spacers...

    Top end rebuild parts

    I bought cheap parts off Amazon and rockauto. Gasket set, head bolts, lifters, spark plugs, injectors. Got the timing chain stuff too, but didn't end up using it - managed to change the passenger side head swapped without taking off the timing cover.

    Rear sway bar

    I kept it. Felt the rear was pretty soft overall after lifting. Then I added load-assist shocks.

    Heavy duty rear coils

    I put in the load-assist (coilover) style rear shocks to firm things up. Believe they were Durango application.

    265/75R16

    We stopped at 245/75R16 because it already rubs, and herself doesn't want the bumper or flares chopped up for clearance.

    Will KK front end struts and spring work on a KJ?

    I run the KK clevis for a bit of lift. The top part of the KK strut is the wrong angle - it's likely just the plate. Also running Rancho struts (shocks) listed for the KJ, a long with the CRD coils.

    ABS/Traction Control disables on low traction surfaces

    I think you're putting too much reliance on a finicky system. Our '05 has no ABS or traction control (factory) and it's been an excellent offroader and winter-road-tripper.

    Can I Fit ANY 4.10 Gears by Just Adding ANY Steel Dana 30 Carrier into the Dana 30a “Super”?

    I have to admit, I'm over the steel diff idea. I ran a locker for while and didn't break anything. 311,000km now with half that on 3" lift - and no broken housing. I also keep a spare one just in case.

    Head interchange

    The combustion chamber and cam profile change from 04 to 05. https://www.motorreviewer.com/engine.php?engine_id=180 I have mismatched heads on our 05 now. Didn't realize it until I was ready to bolt things up. It does run fine though.

    lower ball joints

    I still have the stock ones at 310,000km. They have endured a 3" lift for half of that. With jobber parts, i have best luck with greasable ones, and actually grease them regularly.

    2002 liberty difficulty getting into and out of 4 wheel drive ?

    Maybe the shift cable is seizing up? Check the bushing/grommet on the end of the cable? Shift fork pads (nylon) inside the tcase can wear out too. Cheap parts, but a lot of work to renew.

    Front differential crush washer/pinion nut torque 500 ft/lbs??

    I confirmed the crush sleeve interchange is with the JK. This should be it https://www.randysworldwide.com/shop/sk-csjk-f

    Front differential crush washer/pinion nut torque 500 ft/lbs??

    I don't have the answer, but I got crush-sleeve eliminators instead. I don't have the experience or confidence to get this stuff right the first time. The super 30 crush sleeve (and eliminator) is shared with a few other diffs - maybe it's the JK/KK D30. I'm away from home so I can't check what...

Here she is, unfortunately without a lift.
Getting Duratracs soon. These Coopers suck. They have the worst tread life I've seen for any at's. Also removed the Spider Trax spacers. Was adding to
