    Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?

    I was using the original / stock nerf bar mounting brackets to attach some home made rock sliders and I sheared one of these U-bolts (M-bolts?) off. The one in the photo is intact and looks like it should. You thread them through a couple of holes in the frame of the Jeep and can then attach the...

    Simple Rock Sliders

    After bruising one of my rocker panels I decided it was time to add some rock sliders. Bought a cheap welder off Ebay and some 1-3/4" 1/8" wall steel tubing. I wanted to attach the rock sliders with 1-1/2" x 1" rectangular tubing but my local steel supplier only had really thin gauge stuff so I...

    Window Switch Module Compatibility Question

    I have a 02 and the drivers window switch has started misbehaving. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. As I look for a replacement switch module I see that new 05 to 07 modules can be had for as little as $20 but new 02 - 03 modules start at $130. They look identical as far as I can tell...

    Help with mystery front driveshaft

    My front driveshaft started squeaking on each rotation. I just pulled it out for inspection and it seems that it's not your normal Liberty front driveshaft. It has u joints instead of a CV joint as you'd expect: It's a 02 Limited, auto, gas 3.7L (4x4 obviously), purchased in 2020 and no...

    What size are the Ring Gear bolts on the Dana 30 Super in my 2002?

    I'm preparing to replace my front diff with a a LSD. Having a hard time figuring out what ring gear bolts I need. Some places say they are 3/8" and some say they are 7/16". The new LSD appears to have the option of using either (it has 20 holes, 10 are smaller and 10 are larger). I have an early...

    Puzzled by steering wheel being off 20 degrees?

    I did some rough 4wheelin last weekend in my 02 and my steering wheel is now off by maybe 20 degrees. I'm not aware exactly when it happened and strangely didn't notice the steering wheel was off till the next day. It still tracks and drives fine. I noticed some grumbling coming from the...

    Removing seized 02 3.7 engine with torque converter attached

    So my motor went kaboom and seized - assuming major internal damage. I'm working on pulling it but can't get to the torque converter bolts since I can't rotate the engine. I realize I can probably remove the transmission and transfer case first but would rather not go there if I don't have to...

    02 HVAC Issues

    I have some minor issues with HVAC on my 02. I have not started digging into it yet but in case there are common Libby issues with these and known solutions I thought I'd ask before I start pulling things apart. My AC works great and I think my heat works great (really haven't needed heat since...

    Differential question - Pinion Bearings Replace or Not??

    I’m hoping to get some input from some of you who have experience troubleshooting / servicing / repairing differentials. My plan in the next few weeks is to replace the stock open carrier in my rear differential with a helical gear (Torsen style) LSD in my 02 Liberty 3.7L 4x4 with the 8.25”...

    Help! 02 key pulls out of ignition in any position

    So after chasing what I thought was a parasitic current drain I figured out that I was pulling out the key in the ACC position which was leaving some stuff energized and draining my battery overnight. Turns out I can start the vehicle, then pull out the key in that position and the car will stay...

    HELP! 02 Starts then dies after about a second

    So I bought a 02 Limited, 3.7L 4x4 with bad rod-knock in November and just got the motor installed after a complete rebuild. It started just fine and I drove it around town, 4 or 5 times, probably 20 miles total with no real issues other than discovering the speedometer doesn't work. I was...

    3.7L 02 vs 03 and Later Bedplate and Cylinder Head Bolt Tightening

    Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and also to Jeeps. I bought a 02 Liberty Limited 4x4 3.7L with a spun rod bearing about a month ago. I just got everything back from the machine shop and I'm ready to reassemble the motor. My apologies if this has been asked and answered before but I can't...
