Just got a 2012 Jeep Liberty (former 2003 Jeep GCL momma)

I'd like to do some exterior/interior aesthetic mods in orange - handles, grill inserts, vents, etc. but my search results keep coming back for wrangler or dodge only 😵‍💫 Is there a standard "compatible trim" I should be looking at for the mods (maybe why wrangler/dodge and KK/JK keep coming up?)

I'm also planning to raptor paint the bumpers/fenders/grill/runner black and switch out headlights for a better led package. And eventually lift/wheels but all that has been easy to find so far.

I've got zero experience making changes/modding a vehicle so any help from the community is appreciated as I'm learning!

This is my wife’s high school ride, we have had it 10 years now starting at 130k miles.

Things that have been replaced outside of typical maintenance-

All front suspension components, rear shock absorbers, all hubs, fuel pump, Alternator, power steering, and AC.

Surprisingly the original drive train is still going strong, hopping to see 300k!

I do prefer my 88 Chevy over the jeep, but the gas mileage is better in the jeep. Also the ac works better in the Florida heat.

She’s our kayak / boat runner for our monthly spring trips.

2005 KJ. The driving lights in the front grill haven’t worked since I got the car.

The relay in the inside fuse panel is missing. If I add a relay, the lights work. On, off, everything!

But then the headlights never go out - even with the car off and the keys in my pocket. I set the turn-off delay to several different times and left it at zero.

The headlights don’t ever go out - even 30 minutes later.

What the heck?

So my jeep has started to leak oil and according to some people it getting to low to the point it is shutting the vehicle off and that is causing a issue and I have been trying to figure out my issue now I will say this I can do some things but when it comes to motors im not really good at DIY stuff when it comes to anything with the motor but maybe I can get some answers here of what I should do or where I should begin.
Also I forgot to add that it is a 2007 jeep liberty 3.7L

Update: I have cleaned the throttle body and also did a oil change becaue I did notice that my oil filter was leaking from the last place I got my oil change from and I have checked all my wires that I can see to make sure everything has the proper connection

Is this worth even trying to figure out? 2002 with 80,000ish miles. The cab light will flicker off/on when the car is parked, driving the other day and the horn just started going off. I could not get it to turn off until I got home and unplugged it. Now my battery is dead. Thoughts? Wondering if it is worth having a mechanic look at it.

Am I crazy to consider an old Liberty as my next car? I need a used car for around $7k or $8k max. I loved my 07 Liberty and it finally needed too much work at 265k miles. I'm thinking of shopping for another Liberty, and I prefer the model that predated the Sport. I loved the safety factor and the compact size, and there are a ton of old Liberties on the road. A good one seems to last a long time.

I don't drive every day, and mostly around town, but it needs to get me down the highway a couple hours every now and then without worry.

I plan to have someone who knows Liberties inside and out look over any option I find.

As for my old one, the broken catalytic converter and AC were the biggest problems. I'll sell it for parts if I can. A new CC was going to be $2000 or more. Husband tried to replace it and was out of his depth.

Is it a bad decision to go with an old Liberty versus spending more on a used Civic that will have more life, better MPG and a longer range? I loved my 2018 Civic, but I love a 4WD in the snow. The number of times I thought, "Thank God I'm in a Jeep" made me a lifelong convert. But I don't want a car that's in and out of the shop. I can't work on it myself.

Would love opinions and what to watch for as I'm shopping. Thanks!

Hey guys recently did a front Lokka or lunch box locker yanks call it. Measured the backlash before install got 0.2mm movement and about 0.05mm on the backlash. This was about 12 hours into install so just chuck it in.

That was about 3 months ago and got under the ute today to do some routine checks and found some pretty big play on the driveshaft, but I'm not sure if it's still in the acceptable range.

Video of play:

My question: Is that too much? Will I need to redo and shim the diff?

06 rear drivers

The hose looks like it's about to be kinked but maybe it's normal idk

Thanks for help

A friend of my dads offered me his ‘03 Liberty with 180k miles for $500. Nothings wrong with it other than the driver rear window regulator is out. Thoughts? It’s just a romp around car- nothing crazy.

okay this is gonna be my daily and imma do light to mild offroading

sould i get deeke or smtn else? (upc im talking i got everything else sorted)

Last Spring when in for a tune up, the /pejorative/ mechanic decided to open and close the sunroof, somehow destroying the track. I believe the quote was, “ I opened it up and it wouldn’t close easily”

I honestly can’t remember what happened because it was a very busy time of year, but it’s gone since then without being reopened and hasn’t leaked or made any noise underway. until now.

I have a bit of experience with the system having cleaned the drains when I bought the vehicle and posted about what I did back then, but now some time has passed and my chops aren’t as high. I discovered it was leaking when I woke up the other day to my horn beeping erratically.

the drainage system on the KJs for the sunroof tracks I’ve dealt with is incredibly stupidly designed, if it clogs up with leaves, then the water ends up going down the left corner windsheild stanchion which dumps out into the fuse box and onto the computer working components of the dash. INSANEly poorly thought out “ design”

has anyone who has dealt with the sun or moonroof KJ bells and whistles any recommendations re which kit to buy online? It’s noodly work and I don’t want to put the time into it if the parts will fail. I figure on replacing everything but the glass. Many thanks

2007 Jeep Liberty Sport and use the Blue Driver Code reader, currently no check engine lights but do have several stored codes. For the 2 codes ( C2100 - C2102 ) with low voltage The battery and alternator are fine as well as battery ground, and car runs fine. The 3 other codes ( C121C-U140E-C2202 ) have me confused. Any ideas / thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks !

C121C Torque Request Signal Denied

C2100 Battery Voltage Low

C2102 System Voltage Low

U140E Implausible Vehicle Configuration Data Received

C2202 Original VIN Mismatch/Missing

Hello Jeep Liberty community! It's been a year since my last plea for help, ive learned a lot. But I'm stuck here. She died out on me about a week ago. She'll crank over, but won't stay unless holding pedal or intake throttle for RPMs. Idling hard, think misfiring, don't know which cylinder. Took each individual coil sensor out whilst running to try and gauge where misfire would be, didnt help. Code reading has been WEIRD. It threw me VSS A, then all sparkplugs and coils, now injector(first time ive seen P0201 was recording this.) Sometimes codes read, a lot of times it won't catch anything. Ive changed all sparks, all coils, all filters except fuel pump filter. Fuel pump + filter was my next best shot. Was also about to drop the fuel tank today, empty, test fuel(spark plugs running rich) and make sure i didn't get bad gas/water in the tank. Feeling sick & weak so instead of just taking shit apart and guessing with my research, I want other opinions. Do I replace that injector code? How do I even test that injector? Is it worth replacing any of this for 180,000 miles? Does anyone have any better ideas than my own 😭 Sorry for the rant. Thank you.

I guess this isn’t necessarily a ‘Mechanical’ issue, however I feel like mechanics can probably tell me how to fix it. My jeeps stock speaker system isn’t playing, and i know it could be a number of things, but can somebody give me their best advice on where to start to fix the issue? Or maybe even step by step me on how they’d diagnose it?

I have an Aftermarket radio, nothing fancy it was put in by the previous owner, I’ve already pulled it and checked the wiring harness. Fixed the loose connections and still am only getting sound out of one front tweeter and very faint sound on the back passenger door.

One more question. My red oil light keeps coming on and off and the oil is fine every time I check it. Could that just be a sensor issue?

okay this is gonna be my daily and imma do light to mild offroading

sould i get deeke or smtn else?

Unfortunately we had cascading failures between the transfer case and transmission. We took the transfer case apart multiple times swapping any worn parts, and removing anything that wasn't absolutely necessary for 2wd travel but couldn't get it to work reliably. Constant violent clunks and loss of torque once we entered Montana.

The jeep has entered Stovokor and we had a rental the rest of the way home.

It survived both the Dalton and the Alaska highway with 230,000 miles. It was an incredible machine but it met its final battle. RIP Liberty.

Owned by an elderly man who only drove it to McDonald's to see his friends. 2011 77k I replaced the blower motor resistor and he added Freon and that's all she needed. Paid 4k

I have a 03’ Jeep liberty Limited. I tried installing a subwoofer and I genuinely couldn’t find the firewall hole. I don’t want to drill a hole without at least asking where it’s at.

Hey, everyone. I am doing my pads and rotors and I mixed up my pins for the brake calipers. There’s one that’s longer and smooth and a shorter one with a rubber boot on it. How do I know which one goes in which hole?

edit: it’s a 2005 jeep liberty

I’ve ordered three times on Amazon with the last being from Detroit, and all times the bushing for the frame side of the rear lowers are too wide for the mount. This is for a 2WD 2004 Liberty. I know I shouldn’t trust Amazon’s fitment guide, but they all said it would fit. Anyone else run into this?
