Me? I don't recommend them to people, and I wouldn't put their parts on my rig if they were free.
Great minds think alike huh lol

I think every year Chrysler takes bids on fasteners to see what is cheaper...then plans out building the rest of the car. Although that is because I'm comparing a 93 ZJ to a 95 ZJ

Finally pulled the 4wd indicator switch and tried to get it working. It was a waste of 40 minutes, looks like I need a new switch or to learn to live without an insignificant light on my dash not working

Yes I checked the bulb and wiring before going after the switch. When I jump the two terminals at the connector the little light comes on

Trying to rub it out, scratches that is.
And opened the radiator to find this, sediment. I have flushed a few times and replaced the radiator, it eventually always returns. There is crap trapped in the cooling passages that I cannot seem to get out. Witnessed it when replacing rear freeze-plug.

I had the same issue. Not sure where you are but when the weather is warm enough but not too hot try flushing and filling with just distilled water. Run that for about 3-4 days then repeat as many times as needed. Finally fill with coolant. I did this when I had the opportunity to do a complete system flush and it worked well. Don't forget the RESERVOIR and the heater core . Mine had a thick layer of nasty at the bottom. GOOD LUCK!

Well today I changed the glow plugs in my '03 Liberty. Bit of a pain to do, but worthwhile.

Lmao this guy has no idea...

Buddy, I'm swapping axles right now. I don't **** around when I wheel, and you can ask anybody here who has been out with me. I drove my stock LWB Comanche on Blacks and Reds, and I've done stuff in a 3.07 geared open diff YJ that would make you **** yourself. I wrote the book on trolling, dude. It doesn't work against me.

You're the one who came in here being hostile. Either get over yourself or go talk smack to your local club.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I try to be helpful and not give false information

Edit: And are you really talking down to me about my rig when your details say you have Thornbird tires and a D35 front axle? Seriously, which senior member made a troll account? This is too perfect to be real
