Rear Fender Flare Removal?
You can find a bag of those clips $5.99 for 100. Just be sure to get the right ones. I know the Honda car and the Honda ATV use the same ones, just different sizes. 8mm and 10mm. I see on the Jeeps two different lengths. Some stubby ones. dc For $8.99 at Harbor Freight I got a pair of...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I will look for the scales and weigh mine. A lot of the miles per gallon depends on the engine. And if it is the same 3.7 liter V6 they will both use a fairly similar amount of gas. Which is what your Edmunds figures show. As to aerodynamics, there is a lot of wind here, which batters any...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
You mean dollar wise? That wasn't the case here when I was looking end of last year. But then all the kjs were older and had more miles, so ... dc Did I mention I'm starting to see my KK as dependable. Just starts every time.- David13

I'm going to keep this in mind TomMudd, because that is yet on my list. Drain and flush and refill radiator, I think I may also replace the thermostat. I'll get an oem. I already have the Hoat anti freeze. dc- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Went to two junkyards. Asked for a spare tire for the Jeep at one. No. Got Honda parts so I can drive the Honda to work at 40 mpg, rather than the KK at what, 16 mpg? I filled the tank, and then when I fill it again I will calculate the mileage. That's the only way to do it. Keep a...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I'm not finding an ARB bumper for the KK. Only the KJ. dc I guess the other thing I should say about it, is, look at the percentages. Probably 50,000 miles on the econo box in Utah (4 years here) and hit two deer, this year only and one zero damage, the other some damage. What are the odds...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I'll have to look at the ARB bumper. This was the second one I hit with the econo box. The first one did zero damage to the econo box. His legs hit the 5 mph bumper on the passenger side and he flew up and out to the side. Zero damage. This one was bigger and hit the drivers side corner...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Well, the only thing I did to the Jeep yesterday was drive it to work, which I didn't want to do, as it gets less than one half the gas mileage as the Honda, but I had to. As the Honda got in an argument with a deer and suffered from it. The front is nicely smashed in on the driver's front...- David13

Differential seals
One way to find things like that, go to moparwholesaleparts.com and put in all your vehicle information, then look under front suspension and drive. Then find the right category and hopefully the parts you need. On my 08 I have found "discontinued" and "call for availability". Lastly, go to...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Hey Jay, I want tow hooks also. I don't know if the 08 KK originally had tow hooks or not. Or to go with aftermarket. Any ideas would be appreciated. I got under with 2 jack stands and some wood blocks trying to figure out how to jack and support the transfer case and drive line to remove...- David13

Transfer Case Fluid Plugs
My belief, as I had heard it before from someone I felt knew, is that the oil or fluid color doesn't matter much. That shortly after putting in the oil it turns black. Further, even if it does turn black, I'm not going to change it. The recommended on it is 30,000 miles. I may well change...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drained and refilled the transfer case. Fluid black, and didn't seem to be much of it. Drained front diff and am about ready to refill it, or .... tomorrow. Transfer case, I probably got 3 1/2 quarts in there. The pump I had wouldn't fit the Mopar ATF gallon jug, so I had to refill some of...- David13

Transfer Case Fluid Plugs
Thanks for the replies. I checked the Haynes and Chiltons books and found nothing, but they both have teh torque specs. It occurred to me that there may be an o ring that goes in behind those plugs, so I checked moparwholesaleparts catalog to see. No o ring, but they have the plugs whch come...- David13

Transfer Case Fluid Plugs
I opened the transfer case today and started drainng the fluid. In removing both the top and lower plugs, I see a reddish or orange sealer or rtv sealer. Is that necessary? It looks like maybe over the years the two plugs may have leaked a bit and thus the last time it was done they put some...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Finally found some LIquid Wrench (at Tractor Supply). Sprayed the rear transmission cross-member bolts and nuts. Twice. May spray them for several days and then wire brush all of them before trying to get them moving. I'd like to get all those off and then see if I want a new cross-member...- David13

2011 oil filter removal help
Mine was very loose as well, and probably leaking at least a little. The problem I see with the pump idea is that you are not going to get the dregs, the lowest part of the oil where the sludge might form or lay. The pump might only suck liquid, and the sludge is more of a paste, an ooze... -

Train Derailment New Jeep's Onboard !
About 55 years ago I had a guy help me change a 58 Chevy I had from auto trans to stick. He had bought a new Chevrolet that had fallen off the truck. He fixed it up and had a nice new car. He worked at the Chevrolet dealership and did auto work at his house on the side. dc Those Jeeps will...- David13

Front Crossmember
Yes, my mistake in not correcting that. I actually thought it was the transfer case mount, but after looking I realize it was under the trans, not the trans case. It's actually mid ship. It's under the doors. I have since found that they call a part under the front bumper (or so) a...- David13
