Replaced the Thermostat and put the fuel rail back on top of the intake manifold. Re-attached the fuel/water seperator and reconnected the wiring harnesses on both sides. I replaced the Hex Head bolt on the Viscous heater with something closer to everything else in that area so I wouldn't have to get a stupid alan wrench next time.

Reconnected all connections on wiring harness and cleaned the injectors and replaced O-Rings on them.

I'm still waiting for the Copper Crush Washers for my Fuel Injectors, they should be at the dealer tomorrow....

New tires - Firestone Destination LE2 in standard size.
The Jeep came with very good condition Goodyear Wrangler ST's however the rear tires broke loose too easily on freeway entrance ramps. I didn't buy the Liberty for "drifting" LOL

I put the Michelin Latitude Tours on my one Jeep, it still breaks loose on the grit with the Hot tune, the other one I have been putting on Goodyear Wranglers ST's as there are a lot of them on Ebay and I am equipped to mount them on the rims.

I replaced my Serpentine belt with a Gates one from Amazon, seemed a 1/2 shorter than my OEM one that only has 30k on it. I also swapped one of my serpentine idler pulleys. I have been hearing a chirp sound close to what my Alt. pulley sounded like, and when I did my timing belt two months ago I noticed my idler pulleys looked a little old (100k on them). I only bought one of the Gates pulleys from Amazon (36101) because I wasn't sure how it would fit. And I plan on going back to OEM soon because I do not like the quality of the Gates, and it is made in China not Canada.

See here for my pulley pictures: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=69705&p=782637#p782637

Today I changed the oil, (Using a Wix filter and Shell Rotella), cleaned my MAP sensor, greased my u-joints, and checked my transmission fluid. Good time with the Jeep, because nothing was broken.

Kind of crazy.... :furious:

Re-installed V6 airbox. No CEL on this time

Changed the fuel filter and the air filter. First time I have changed the fuel filter. To remove the filter, i unbolted the filter head, unscrewed the filter, pulled the filter head towards the front of the jeep, and raised then filter straight up. I installed the new filter in the reverse order.

Had the rear lower control arm recall done Saturday.

I examined the old parts and they seemed solid. No outward signs of degradation.

Installed a fire extinguisher. I used 10 inch piece of C channel aluminum mounted to the passenger seat frame, then mounted the fire extinguisher mount to that.
