What did you do to your jeep today?

[jharrisliberty]

Went out trail riding today in the snow because Colorado weather is bipolar. It was fun and a good experience. I will post pics tomorrow.

Looks good! Did you use same mount?

Thanks! Same mount, just moved 8" to the right.

A couple days old now, but used it to pull a 5x8 trailer 400 miles back to Ohio. People who say that the Liberty is a poor tow vehicle are mistaken, in my opinion.

Welcome home, Prof! I'd love to go wheeling with the Jeeper of the Year :winner_third_h4h:

(And I agree with you on towing - the KJ is VERY capable! I moved my buddy's old camper to a new campground - he was stunned the Liberty could handle it )

after a year of holding off getting my transmission fixed i finally brought it in and got it rebuilt. no more 1776, no more CEL, and i have overdrive again! turns out i needed more than a valve body and solenoid switch. the dang torque convertor crapped out. went with rebuilding since i already had a new valve body which they stripped down and made sure it was clean. to add insult to injury the crappy autozone alternator crapped out after 5 months. now i just need to fix the center brake light.

Nice. If you don't mind me asking, what did that cost?

I have had her a mere 3 days

Stock OTIS is gone, EVIC put in, found it on a 2003 renegade at the scrap yard.

Half our total tinkering, it even told me my back glass was open. I don't know about this, wife tells me more than enough of what to do. Now my KJ is doing the same

if all went as planned the rebuild using the current valve body and solenoid pack would have been about $2000 with a 1 year/12,000 mile warranty. they did offer a 3 year warranty for an extra $300something but i was like meh.

other quotes from various:
- used transmission with 121k+ miles with no warranty: $1500
- reman transmission $3000 to $4000 with warranties ranging 1 to 3 years or x amount of miles.

i went with the rebuilt since my valve body has sonnax parts and was put in just weeks before the rebuild. used transmissions with less than 100k miles are hard to find here.

Does your compass work ok? Mine doesn't seem to work correctly, won't point east really ever seems to point SW and W mostly.

Had two over the years with lifts
But the lifts and huge garage wasn't enough to make me stay and put up with rest of the BS :Bye::gr_grin::gr_grin::gr_grin::happy175::happy175:

 

[uss2defiant]

bought replacement solid lug nuts, a few cans of brake cleaner.
Time to get dirty with her soon.

 

[BorincanoKJ]

As i say there are people who underestimate the power of the Jeep liberty.

Cheers!

Getting it storage ready this week. I'll be deploying for the navy soon and I want her to be clean. Plan on jacking it up removing all wheels and cleaning the fender liners, deep clean the wheels, paint the undercarriage with Bedliner , gut the interior and clean everything. She's pretty clean now but I'm OCD. Also got new tail lights but I don't have a picture yet. Also plan to degrease the engine bay.
Picture below is for someone who's been messaging me, to show how well the seats are holding up. Still look the same after 3 months using griots

Good luck with the USN.

By the way, when it comes to keeping your Jeep looking good, you make most of the rest of us look bad. :help:

Thanks profdlp, and why do you say that? Haha

Forgot to mention. I'm taking her to linex in Monroe to do the fenders and bumpers. Can't wait!
