Welcome!



Yep, I ordered the N132L shocks as well as the teraflex from bumpstops. I am looking into hockeypucks as a rear bumpstop.

Also, about a week ago, I drilled some 1/2" holes in the grill to allow some additional air flow to the air box. So far, I got an extra 40 miles out of this last tank of gas before the low light came on. Not sure if I may have been a little lighter on the pedal this time, or if it was the extra air... only time will tell.

Holy crap! Keep me/us posted. I'm an mpg freak and have been looking for more people that have done this mod to see if I should do it!

Washed, clay bar and wax the font. Spray salt-x underneath. Tightened UCA bolts. Firestone alignment recheck and daydream about new tires.

2wd, TSC off, and 6 inches of untouched snow in an empty elementary school parking lot. I’ll let you connect the dots :JEEPIN:

Drove through the frozen mess to get to the store. Wal-Mart was insane! Ended up leaving and coming back later.

The Liberty did amazing in the snow and ice. I did fish tale slightly near my driveway but I was in 2wd.

There was some idiot in a car trying to follow me out. He went throw a snow patch and his right rear wheel locked up. He ended up spinning out.

Originally from that area? I'm from Northfield originally, spent a ton of time over at Warren Falls.

Our storm is still hitting us without showing any signs of slowing down. The KK got me to work safely and on time.

Glad to know you're staying safe! We had three days of constant snow. Probably 8 inches total. Its finally melting and the weird thing is its supposed to be in the sixties this weekend and next week.

Brdkey it was terrible.... Over 300k people out of power luckily not me. The roads are still an icy mess which sucks for my family that's coming in today from out of town.

It stopped snowing Thursday around 12 and started to melt almost instantly. Today's high is around 40 so hopefully it'll melt easy.

No photo, and it's already dirty now. If I get it cleaned up this weekend I'll take a pic for ya.

Just placed an order with moparpartsamerica.com for $201.10 For that price I got the towing pack mechanical fan with clutch, 4 OEM bolts, and the transmission dipstick. Going to install the towing package for my long drive with my uhaul back to NC from CO next month!

Hey, It's nice to see some born and bred Vermonters on here!
I grew up in Northfield also and went to Norwich University back in the 90's. It's a gorgeous area.
