    Agreed. Carrier is the same. The cover is what I'm talking about possibly being different.

    Temp going up when going over 60 mph in highway for long time

    I believe the electric fan assembly also constitutes the fan shroud. I have had vehicles before that didn't cool properly when the shroud was missing, although that's usually been a slow-speed problem. Highway speed tends to move all the necessary air regardless.

    Temp going up when going over 60 mph in highway for long time

    Our 2005 only has electric. Factory. 3.7L/6spd.

    I fear you can't "make sure". Mine (No-Slip) didn't damage anything in the time I ran it.

    lockers

    Depends. I would say auto lockers like a lockright or spartan are more likely to shock-load and cause damage. Something with smoother or controllable engagement should be less likely to cause harm. I ran a No-Slip for this reason. Didn't harm anything in the 3 yrs or so that I ran it.

    I did that too. Doh.

    Better figure out the diff cover (housing surface) difference detail D30 vs D30A before commiting to the OX. I can't find the relevant thread at the moment... but I believe the KJ cover is shallower, and the housing is deeper.

    Having cutouts...

    Thinking a long the lines of the crank sensor and/or O2 sensor (was a code for the latter). Used to have some funny things going on with low idle and occasion hard start. After changing those sensors, never came back.

    lockers

    Don't know. My level of commitment was a lunchbox style. Completely invisible in 2wd. Housing held fine. Reason I removed it was I swapped in the np242 - wanted a fulltime mode; fulltime mode didn't like the locker backlash; so I didn't want to risk breaking the tcase.

    lockers

    Not likely. It's a special diff cover on the KJ. I ran a powetrax no-slip for a while. It's a lunchbox style so works with any ratio. The full-carrier replacement locker (i.e. TrueTrac) is a more involved install. The carrier break is 3.54- and 3.73+ for the Dana 30.

    2004 Liberty suspension questions

    Those aluminum spacers look similar to the Rough Country lift. "Sport" means base model. "Limited" has more chrome trim. "Renegade" has skid plates and some extra 'tough-looking' plastic.

    Bunch of lights with the speedometer and RPM gauge not working

    Do this. Google the Pxxx codes that show up.

    I hate yards that do that. Shop at a better yard.

    strange "rotational" noise like a bad u-joint

    I drove the jeep on axle stands to isolate my drivetrain noise. (Thought it was the t-case). After trying both 2wd and 4wd with no sound change, I pulled the rear driveshaft. Then the sound went away. It was the rear axle pinion bearings.

    Bunch of lights with the speedometer and RPM gauge not working

    What codes do you get in the odometer space when you flick the ignition 3 times?

    Shot intermediate shaft?

    You're luckier than me on the spline. Mine were not rusty, but worn in manner that it behaved like a wobble-extension. Have still not been able to separate them. I don't imagine you will find an intact used one. Edit: found a link to a new one including the Spicer part #...

    Shot intermediate shaft?

    We're you able to separate the CV from the intermediate? This has been my trouble - both times inseparable because the splines are fubar'd. Intermediate shafts are available. My last one was from summit racing. On another note, our 2005 has plastic bushings. Ordering the replacement part from...

    best replacement when rebuilding the suspsension

    Too late now. That KJ diff bracket is a new offering. My first new $80 jobber arm is still sitting standby on my shelf. 309,000km now on a couple used arms and a set of bushings. I'm still ahead on $$.

    best replacement when rebuilding the suspsension

    They are cheap enough to just change in their entirety when they're shot. Not that hard to change either. I tried new bushings once, and had to tack weld them in because the holes were stretched. Lift also angles the bushings and they tear faster. JBA had a bracket to alleviate that problem.

    inner rod

    I'm not sure how easy or difficult they are to change on their own. I picked up a spare used steering rack and PS pump just in case. My rack had started leaking, but stopped before I got to changing it.
