phooey. nothing wrong with a tough looking bumper. :D

For the upper bolts I replaced them with studs. They go from a detriment to an aide with aligning and installing the trans. :thumbsup:

Yes it does. and the libby's filter filled up and started to lose power after a while. Owners in raining areas have had issues with water clogging up and collapsing the filter too. :( Of course, it is a turbo. maybe that's why there's more problems with that Jeep in particular. :doh: Either way we haven't had any issues since installing the v6 airbox parts. very happy about that :D

almost sounds like someone added the Elim decals to their non-Elim truck :dunno:

running rough could simply be an dirty fuel injector or bad sensor. I get the impression that your mechanic is trying to scam you into a LOT of unnecessary labor with a complete drivetrain swap. I don't trust anyone to touch my trucks anymore.

Holy crap! there's a mini-sun on that trailer!?! :eek: Are they using it to melt the snow?

That's it? Mine is like 80". Yours looks way wider. :dunno:

I hear that. even when being careful there's always a puddle in the floormats of the liberty. try a towel. :thumbsup:

Don't forget that the rain doesn't "splash" its way up that tube, the engine is actively sucking it up the tube. Have a similar issue with the stock airbox of our Liberty (which is kinda similar to the stock MJ box). We swapped it out for the v6 version (has an extra bit of tube that pulls air from higher up) and now we don't go through airfilters practically every oil change. :banana: But, I guess if it never rains, there's not much rain to get sucked up. :D Still dirt/dust though.

I usually sit down, kick boots together outside, then bring them in. Only twice though, don't really want to get sent to Kansas with that third click. :D But a good set of floormats couldn't hurt. :thumbsup: Or at least a sacrificial towel thrown on the floor that you pull out after working.

mine doesn't lose any coolant at all. I don't understand your question. some punctuation might help. :dunno:

should be a thread in the DIY that goes into more detail about the auto swap. :thumbsup:

won't hurt a thing. :thumbsup: fuel economy might actually improve.

all Jeeps will be sluggish with the trans switch in "comfort" mode. that's the point of it. :thumbsup: When they got rid of the stupid thing, the trans was permanently put in "power" mode.

you could try painters tape in the suspect area, then hit it with a hose and see if the leak goes away. :dunno:

it's like autos-vs-manuals or buckets-vs-bench. there's no cut and dry winner and it becomes a matter of personal preference (or MJ availability in your area). HOs have better aftermarket support since they built more of them.

Renix is better. :D

Dana 44 = strong Dana 35 = weak

having some difficulty getting the brochure images to be small enough in file size that I can host them, but large enough to be legible. I'm working on it though. :thumbsup:

a dana 300 is a t-case, and it's a passenger side drop.

repairs suck. upgrades rock. It's not exclusive to Jeeping. :D

baby powder and a hose should point you to the leak. :dunno:

that's not a kit, it's most of a kit. no mention of dealing with the brake lines, track bar, sway bar links, or rear prop valve. :dunno: Let alone the lower control arms.

Image Not Found regardless of how scary it may look, the above procedure has a great track record. :thumbsup:
