Transmission shifter / middle console lights
The bulb actually goes in the shifter base so that when you shift, it will align with P, R, N, D. 2 & 1, what ever gear you select. It rides with the shifter indicator and is under the plastic slide sort of tray that has all the shift positions P, R, N, etc on it. It will light up the selected...- Offroad Bob

A/C Compressor will not run after dash removal
Hello all ! I have an 02 Libert Sport 3.7 V6 with A/C and recently had to replace my heater core due to the inlet/outlet tubes being cracked and leaking. If you want a heart attack call some shops and get an estimate to have it done. $1450 was the cheapeast and of course he was booked for 3...- Offroad Bob

Broke Rear Ball Stud Mount Bracket
I have the IRO complete rear setup in my 02 Sport and am so glad to be done with changing the rear upper control arm every 8-10 months. Mine started make a clunking noise after about 6 months and it turns out the jam nut on the threaded link that goes to the top of the rear axle had loosened. I...- Offroad Bob

02 Liberty Sport V6 4WD rearend swap for disc brakes
Well this past weekend I put new rear brake shoes on my 02 Sport V6 4x4. While I was there I was still checking for the possible conversion to disc brakes. I did see the backing plates are bolted to the flanges off the rear axle housing. My question is, would the disc setup off a later 02 or 03...- Offroad Bob

Gas mileage
I have a 02 Sport with the 3.7 and in town I getabout 13-14 mpg. On the highway at 70 I get about 18-19. I'm running 245/75/16 Duratracs and 2.5 in lift in front and 2' in rear. Stock gearing. Hook up my utility trailer with my 6X4 John Deere Gator on it and it drops to 11-12 no matter where...- Offroad Bob

How to reinstall shock strut with lift kit
Dang tommudd, sometimes you have to get creative, especially if on a budget. I didn't think I'd get a frown for my reply We didn't remove enough material off the fingers of the compressor to weaken them, maybe a 32nd of an inch at most is all it took. Seriously, it made the job much easier and...- Offroad Bob

Strut compression - Best Practices
I agree with tommudd ! I took mine to a local 4 x 4 shop and they assembled the pair for $100 and I didnt have to worry about getting hurt or worse !- Offroad Bob

How to reinstall shock strut with lift kit
Back when I had a 2.5 inch spacer lift on the front of my 02 Liberty Sport it was really hard to remove the struts without some sort of assistance. Then when re-installing them it was like trying to shoehorn the stuts back in place. Even leaving the top mounting bolts very loose, it was nearly...- Offroad Bob

'03 Jeep Liberty Mopar Radiator
I’m on my third radiator! They crack on the seam where the return line from engine comes back in to the radiator. The last one I got was from NAPA and was under $200 and has a lifetime warranty. It’s been in my 92 Sport longer than the original and the other one from Orellys ! It bolted right up...- Offroad Bob

02 Liberty Sport V6 4WD rearend swap for disc brakes
I have an 02 Liberty Sport V6 4WD. Being the first year of production, they came with drum brakes on the rear. Jeep changed it to Disc Brakes in 03 maybe…?? How hard could it be to go to LKQ or any junk yard and pull one out to take home to swap into mine ? I know how to make sure it’s...- Offroad Bob

Iron Rock Rear A-arm
If I still had a stock A-arm I’d be changing the bushings and ball joint again. It is easier to buy a whole new arm. Mine is still tight with no slop in it. I have the adjustable lower arms too. They have shown no sign of wear yet. My stock lower arms also had the bushings wear out where it...- Offroad Bob

Iron Rock Rear A-arm
Yes it does plus it won’t wear out the bushings every 6 to 8 months. I’ve been running one for about a year now and it’s much better than stock. If you get the optional flex joints, it allows it to transmit more road noise but that’s why I have a 300 watt stereo so I can drown it out. I too had...- Offroad Bob

O2 Oxygen sensor removal bank 1 sensor 1
You could cut the wires at the old sensor and leave it plugged up to the harness. Then just splice those wires into the new sensor wires. I used solder on the wires and heat shrink tubing- Offroad Bob
