What did you do to your jeep today?

[CherokeeLiberty]

New coils and plugs have been ordered. NGK all around.

Hi Sota, unfortunately I’m rarely up your way. The 2007 and the 2008 share a lot of the same electronics though, so maybe you could be lucky.

You can download JScan from the Apple or Google app stores for free and run it on Demo Mode for the 08 KK and see what you think.

To read a vehicle, you would need one of these Bluetooth OBD2 dongles: https://a.co/d/4qJQ8Be

JScan’s free mode lets you see a lot of data from the Jeep, but if you want advanced features like 2-way communication it would be $21 to purchase a license for your VIN.

I don’t know, could you pretend to be an 08 for the app? It would be cool if you could. But if your Autel can’t do it, I don’t know if this could. Maybe you can get an indication from the free mode if it can’t parse the 07 data. Worse case scenario you have just spent $31 on a Bluetooth dongle you can use to run the Torque app.

One thing i've been learning over the past couple of years with it, is that Autel isn't the be all end all for tools. It's a good tool, but it's far from perfect, especially on "older" stuff.

Last day before I go back to work, sun is shining and almost no wind. Thought I'd tackle the lights, the plastic is badly burnt so they are even worse than normal.
I'm sanding them down and putting 2k clear on to see if that's any better, high level brake light is all foggy too so it's getting the same.

I might be too late… or may be tricky to get your hands on but I’m going on two years now and they still look great.

I've tried similar things before but I get fed up with having to do it every year, if that lasts 2 years then it's better than most. I'm hoping 2k will be a bit more permanent + I have a parts Jeep if it all goes horribly wrong, reading online 2k is either the best thing ever or the worst depending on the thread!

Well at the moment I'm impressed, I'll see how it looks in a couple of weeks.

New tires (Toyo ATIII 245/75r16)

 

[WesStevens]

Technically, it was yesterday, but I finished installing the 2" BDS lift springs, shocks, and new bump stops in the rear. Starting the front end this weekend.

Drained the radiator, changed the upper radiator hose, flushed the coolant with distilled water, replaced the thermostat, and am.now having a horrible time trying to loosen the coolant bleeding nut to let air bubbles out, it's over heating now :/

Don't boil it, bad things happen to the valve seats on the v6 if it gets hot!

Look at those shiny new coils!!!

Oil change today, and topped off the radiator coolant. Mileage is 228166. I needed a break from that broken bolt in the frame that has been driving me crazy!

First off road test. Was surprised how well it did with open diffs, traction control seemed to work well.

evil drive by wire is evil.

 

[CherokeeLiberty]

evil drive by wire is evil.

You, sir, are correct. I still have my old carburated Mercury and the garden tractor when I need my cable fix.

I crawled underneath to check fluids tonight, as I’ve had a whirring sound coming from the t-case area. That fluid looked brand new, and so did the tr@nny fluid. What I did find, was that the O2 sensor wire had draped themselves across the front output flange and had worn completely through, and one end was still touching the flange. I wire nutted those back together, so I’m hoping the wires on the flange were making the noise.

Went out with the local off road club on Sunday - got up into some snow - was a good day!
