72k.

Did it go out because the accident, or just every day wear and tear

I am not sure. I guess I will find out in the morning after they take it out?

Then again, with as fast as they are working, they may already have it out?

Took my front mud guards off with the help of mother nature.

Ahh nice fresh steering rack, power steering fluid, water pump and new coolant.

4 things I don't have to worry about for quite a while.

Now I'm bored.

and hungry.

Bought brake pads for it. Ugh. I didn't realize they had ceramic pads all the way around. Just over $100 in pads. I'll put them on shortly. Rotors are still friggity-fresh.

How's this for snow

Looks too cool, Musclez. How did the Liberty hold up in the snow?

Installed new ceramic brake pads all the way around. Rotors were still groovy. I'm really really thinking about doing the mod to turn off ESP and traction etc. It would be really nice to have the option to free wheel when I need it. Are there any electrical side effects with this?

I'm thinking just safety.

I'm thinking you're right on that. And I say, "meh." Lol. I grew up driving completely manual vehicles. I'd be totally ok with being able to manually contol my jeep lol.

Just do it! :BANANA:

It came in very handy in the sand and puddles by the river the other day.
No side effects so far when I use it. The only thing to remember is when you turn the switch off (back to normal) you also have to restart the rig. Then when you drive forward a little all the dash lights will turn off and you are good to go.

Scaro you're a lifesaver with that write up!!
Did it 1.5 years ago and love it. I use it all the time, absolutely no problems. Whenever we get snow i turn it off when driving around town. Always turn it back on for highway driving though...

Scar0 · **Posted:** Tue Jan 01, 2013 2:58 pm

Now I'm blushing... :oops:

Glad you like it. I was :banghead:

until I figured it out. Sand is the worst without it. It gets so bad you almost can't move in it unless you are WOT.
Did you see my puddle Vid by the river? Was tons of fun...

TurboGoKart · **Posted:** Tue Jan 01, 2013 4:36 pm

Okie dokie then. I'm sold!

Scar0, where is this video?!

JeepNCrowd · **Posted:** Tue Jan 01, 2013 8:02 pm

Installed the front half of the JBA 4" lift. I'm only sitting around 2.5-3" up front. JBA forgot to ship the brake lines and I was waiting for the track bar to come in the mail any way so the back is still OEM with Daystar. The front handles speed bumps really well.
Oh, and that Rear drivers side Upper A-arm bolt is a pain to get to. :evil:

I totally agree the left rear A-arm bolt is a PIA. I used one short and one medium 1/2" extensions to get to it. Once it is broken loose air ratchet time. :BANANA:

Looking forward to more Pics as you progress.

Sitting at the dealer now getting oil change and rotating the tires. Why do the most popular dealerships have a terrible service department. The wait is terrible.
