All the '05 seats suck. They're awful.

The ones in my BIL's '03 Unlimited were pretty awesome.

06 Liberty Limited owner here.
Just replaced the blower motor resistor due to loss of 1, 2 and 3 speeds

I was not able to get to the bottom right bolt holding it in place,to remove the the failed one, so just plugged the new one in the harness and closed the glove box up.
It felt like its holding it in place
Is it ok to leave it like that? or Will I need to get a universal joint for my socket driver to pull the old one to slot the new?

I would want to ensure that the resistor block is installed properly back into slot.
I used a combo of a bit driver & 1/4 ratchet & extension/ socket with 8mm, don't remember using a swivel at all.
I was careful with both screws, and while removing them, left some threads and removed last few threads by hand. Re-installing screws, few threads in by hand & then the tools to tighten.
I used the 2004 Sebring convertible (stronger lasting part ) BWD- RU1040 resistor pack.

I hate the 05s leather seats, ( Limited ) most uncomfortable seats there are
Now the ones I have in the 03 , which are from an 03 Limited, have more back and side support and much more comfortable

Yeah, that's mine.. an 03 Limited.. they are indeed MUCH better than other years/trim seats.. but maybe it's just me, but after about 90 mins in those things, I gotta get out and stretch. The 3.5hr drive to Ft. Wayne on a time crunch about paralyzed me. lol.

I like even more lumbar and side bolster support than these have.. My old 1991 Escort GT had crazy supportive seats.. you couldn't move sideways in those if you tried. Mazda MX-3 seats are even more so.

Wow only 3.5 hours ?
I used to make a run to Boston and back ( in the 04 from Northwest Ohio ) every other weekend , about 11 hours one way , stop twice to top of gas , never even shut the Jeep off and was comfortable . Now the set I have in the 03 , from another 03 Limited , are not quite the same for some reason. The ones in the 04 are from an 03 Limited as well. But most I have done it the 03 was about 7 hours .
( wish the wife would get a job closer :happy175: , well sometimes :emotions34:)

Yeah I don't think I could go that long without about 5 or 6 stops to get out and stretch. Must just be me! lol. I've sat in a car for 8-10 hours before, and when it was a comfortable car, or a cushy long-distance conversion van, it wasn't as much of a problem.

I can do much much longer in the seats in my wife's Acadia.. I just hate that vehicle for loads of other reasons.

Over the weekend got around to fixing my sway bar issue. The bolt is now not at such an angle and the link is no longer hitting on the bar.

Hitting the bar ? Shouldn't have been hitting anything at all unless the links were on the wrong way

You can see in the first pic the link was hitting the sway bar a little and the bolt was at an angle. The link is on how it shows in the fan and how my other stock Liberty is. They are the extended ones from JBA though not sure if that made the difference.

The best vehicle seats are the ones in my Chevy Astro(s). I can drive 9 hours in those with no trouble or pain at all.

12 hours in the Astro wasn't bad, but 18 hours was a bit too long. Not nearly as bad as 12 hours out and 15 hours back in my '05 Liberty, however (MD to St Louis and then back again). That freakin' hurt. A lot. For a few days.

Only one I have ever seen the guy tried to install new one and had them upside down and backwards, looked ok at first but when I removed them saw what was wrong

Best seats were in my 2001 Peterbilt 379
of course was air ride suspension, air ride cab/sleeper and top of the line air ride seats , you could sit in for hours , like sitting at home on the couch at 100 MPH
Before that 72 Thunderchicken but then the suspension was so soft :Insane:

Now I've never sat in a Peterbilt seat, so I'll just go with the Astro seats. They have adjustable lumbar that make it easy to get perfect for me - and for my husband, who uses a little less.

Well guys, I got the P0335 code this morning and it was running really rough. CEL was flashing so I shut it down and did my research on the code and it’s safe to say that she’s a goner.
I’m not going to be forking a ton of money into it when I just got a car recently (also needs another PS pump).
It ***** that I won’t have something of my own to haul stuff with but it’s time to move on I guess.
I know the code is for the sensor, but I’m not going to dive into possible engine issues.

Shame, I'd fix it and keep on enjoying
