Driving around over the weekend and then today and saw a couple of Jeeps. First, pulled up behind an old Grand Cherokee at a light - was in pretty decent shape:
Second, can't help myself when I see another Liberty in a parking lot with an empty space next to it. Just have to pull next to it and get a pic...

I need to do that someday, at 214,000 still on my second set of pads.
I have a whole new set ( all 4 ) new Mopar calipers I found in a box of parts when I moved, have the rear JBA stainless brake lines, rear Mopar pads ( found in that same box of parts) and still have a pair of new front Mopar rotors.
So new rear rotors and front pads and hardware kits and I should be set
Now that she's back on the road again, after minor surgery on her rear/ realignment of her attitude and a good slap across her grill, I need to do something special to her like brakes :happy175:
You owe her that much...LOL
My brakes are ok, but with heavier tires and skid plates and rock rails going on, the wear will begin to accelerate, I'm sure...with 85,000+ miles now, this looks to be the second set of pads on her now...rotors most likely original and never turned...I'm looking forward to seeing how these ceramic pads work...

Replaced the power steering rack and pump this weekend.
Never again....
Never again....
I've had larger tires etc on since 20,000 miles, swapped out first set of pads etc at around 100,000, this is still that set at 214,000 so i don't notice a lot of extra wear but then I hardly ever use the brakes
They are overrated....:gr_grin:
Backed her out of the garage to tune up the lawn mower, I'm working on it and a red JKU pulls in. Guy gets out and comes up and first question is " What is this " :shrug: Tell him a Liberty and his next comment " Did Jeep build these ? "
Ok so I see this Jeep go down through on the main drag of the neighborhood all the time, lifted , aftermarket wheels, 35s etc ( spare is stock ) its OK but spacer lift, nothing special etc Can always tell his due to exhaust and the squeaks.
So I say yes Jeep built them and I've done some work to it as well. His next comment was ( as he was walking back towards his ) "Well we're starting a local Jeep Club and when I saw your tire cover the other day I thought you maybe someone to join but guess not! " :shrug:
So mine does not look the part I guess to be in his " club" :happy175::happy175:
Sorry neighbors but I thought mooning this guy was the perfect response at the time .

brought it to the dealership yesterday to have the tire size reprogrammed and the tech didn't know what he was doing, I politely explained what needed to be done (program tire size in the BCM and in the ABS) I think he skipped the abs because my speedometer is reading about 12% slower than my actual speed (I checked with 3 different gps units).

Nope, not scared. I'll just use Holy Water the next time I give her a wash. :angels2:
Drove it the 60 miles round trip to work and back. Still trying to figure out the vibration it has at 65 mph and the stupid brakes in front on and off make it pull left. I am going to try bleeding those to see if that fixes the problem.
If anyone has suggestions on what to check for the vibration hit me with them.
Oh and when I feel like ******* the local Jeep Club off I post a picture of their logo next to the Steelers logo I have next to it on the back of my Jeep. It's a Baltimore are group.

Which part of Ohio did you like best...? :happy175:
Glad to be able to help out with the fader knobs - let me know how the skid bolts up :waytogo:

I think the giant bug on it was the highlight.
Will tackle it after I figure out the bolt and rivet nut sizes.
