That is how I got my KJ. Stopped to look at a Chevy s10 blazer and saw the liberty. Chevy was rusting out and had wrong transfer case. KJ came home with me
What did you do to your jeep today?

plow is fixed and on the jeep.
bring on the snow storms!!!
Never had a plow on my KJ, but I absolutely LOVED driving it in the snow. The heater always kept me warm and toasty, the 4WD caused the snow to kick up around all 4 wheels showing the world I had 4WD, and other drivers were always jealous of me. :gr_grin:
The XK is equally as good in the snow - actually probably better thanks to the electronic lockers - but there is just something about a KJ in nasty weather. Know what I mean...?
Damn I miss the black beast :emotions34: :icon_sad:

Wish I took a pic last December when I got it with 42k.
Forgot about this one:

Dang I scream all sorts of colorful profanities,sometimes kick,and most definitely give some nasty looking stares till she starts acting right.
Mostly though a fresh tank of premium does the job.

I haven't been getting out much lately, so I drove to town to run a couple errands. I pulled up to a mailbox, flipped the switch to roll my window down so I could drop my Netflix envelope in and realized I hit the wrong switch. My rear, driverside window goes down. I immediately push the switch the other direction to roll it back up and... nothing. Well, some weird noise, but the window stayed down. Played with the switch and it makes a little noise, but the window sits stationary with a 2" gap at the top.
I drove to my mechanic to ask for help getting the window up - it was raining and I wasn't sure I would be able to do it myself. I did manage to lift the window to the top and it stayed there. Good thing; the shop closed early today.
Now I'm gonna try to find a thread here that tells me the best rear window regulators to get. I hate spending money to fix stuff. I'd rather spend it to make my KJ better than stock.

I bought the second kit (since i'm an 07) when I had a lift break on mine. Figured for the price I'll either have the parts needed when the rest break, or they never will since I now have the parts to fix it in stock.
You're PROBABLY the top link, but as they suggest it's always a good idea to visually inspect the window regulators first just to make sure.

There's a part available on Amazon that replaces the plastic with metal. Did my front passenger window last winter, worked great. Looks same as above post links, don't remember price

One thing I read on here that was supposed to help is if you don't use the rear windows much, make it a point to roll them down once or twice a week, it seems like a lot of failures happen from lack of use.
I would much rather spend money on "fun" stuff...but it's enough of an effort to keep it at original running condition :gr_grin:
Looks awesome!
I also run mine up and down a few times a month.
I also at least monthly, clean the window channels and spray some silicone or other dry lube spray in there. My thinking, dust / dirt/ etc gets in there making the window not go up and down smoothly. Have never had one of mine go bad
Oil change time...

Was below freezing, so charged the battery up for a few hours too.

Double check down the center tube of that M1 filter to make sure all the louvers are opened up!

Thanks for that. My KJ came with a pretty detailed folder of all the work the original owner did and none of it included window regulators. So, that link (the top one you posted) is what I will order.
The part you are referring to is a hunert bucks. That's just for one window. It might be the best part available, but if my parts lasted 12 years and the new parts Sota linked me to only last half that, I'm still way ahead financially. Since I already got 1 foot in the grave, I think I'm making a wise decision.
Great tip, thank you.
Louvers..ah all I see inside is a heavy duty metal screen...
