Where in Saudi are those dunes at? Our interpreter took us to some South of Riyadh. We used to take our trucks off on some dunes like that after we picked them up from the Chevy place downtown, but that was a long time ago when we were on Prince Sultan AB.

I must say, your KJ looks better with the CHEROKEE badging! So why did you get the short plates, and not the long like the XJ behind you?

As for the name, I would keep it: twisted:

Those pictures I took is in Easter Province, (DAMMAM) area, near the airport from the north, I have many places and better than those dunes, if you are still in Saudi, I can meet you this time, as you know we have one week holiday for Eid. And I'm working with General Electric Company in Dammam.
And yes, I think the Cherokee badge is for commercial use to attract more Cherokee lovers than Liberty.

SS-Virus,

Sorry about the thread hijack, but thanks for the info on the headers. I called them today and my headers are supposed to ship tomorrow.

What size are those tyres?.Do they rub with the rims?

broncsrule,

I just ordered the stainless steel. Don't think I'll have a heat problem. I thought the stainless would be easier to work with if they have to be slightly modified for my 2001. I'm not very confident of receiving the headers though. Yesterday morning, they told me they had just sold out of them and more were coming in later that afternoon and they should ship today. I saw a post on these forums where someone else ordered the headers from them, only to cancel it because they never came in. Also, when I talked to JBA a couple weeks ago, they said the headers were not available. We'll have to wait and see.

KY Liberty:
I know that they will take time to make the order, but you have to wait, your KJ will be Super KJ when you install them, specialy if you have cat-back system.

Big D:
The size of tires is 255 65/16, and no they not rubbing, even when I deflate the tires to 10 or sometimes 8 psi.

Thanks SS-Virus,

Should be pretty nice with my setup. With the ram air, the upgraded throttle body and air intake, and the Borla dual outlet exhaust, it really should breath well. Next I need to get the 206 cams.

I have made this mods.:
- Borla Dual Exhaust cat-back system.
- B&B Air charger. (I'm not satisfied with it).
- K&N Air intake.
- JBA headers.

And i'm thinking of some more, like performance spark plugs, and throttle body.
If you know that I can buy another Libberty with my money now, what are your suggestions to add more power? Let us play some more :wink:

Here's a link to some upgrades you can do. Does your 2003 have the 45RFE or 42RLE?

Thanks for the link,
But what is 45RFE and 42RLE, and how i know?

KY Liberty · **Joined:** Sat Jul 09, 2005 1:46 pm **Posts:** 1195

The 45RFE was the original automatic transmission in the KJ. It's in the 2001-2002, and some of the 2003's. I think they changed it at the same time as they lowered the KJ, and moved the 4X4 emblems from the rear quarter panels to the tailgate. Not sure though. The 42RLE is the automatic transmission currently in the KJ. The 45RFE can be upgraded with a better torque converter and a shift kit. As far as I know, they aren't available for the 42RLE.

Here's a link to a thread about telling them apart.

So far the order for the headers isn't looking good. I just checked the status to get the tracking number and it is on order from the manufacturer with an expected date to ship of this Saturday. They said it was arriving yesterday and should ship today. I also want to know what they looked up to know it will fit my 2001 since JBA didn't know for sure.

SS-Virus · **Posted:** Wed Oct 25, 2006 6:16 pm

I think I have 45RFE, because I don't have 4X4 in the rear in both side,
If the bolts is the deferent, no problem, when I reach home I look at it.
I am in Kuwait now, so no time to check.

Do you know the build date of your KJ. I think the change might have been around April.

The headers situation looks much better now. The status of the order is shipped. Should get them soon.
