It seemed like there wasn't enough plastic to drill new holes because the speaker just barely fit over the inlayed plastic meant for the 5.25 speakers. Looking at your picture, I see the speaker is not inlayed, and I thought maybe you added a bracket or something extra to mount to, but if not...

I just bought some Kicker 6.5 speakers because I had read it could fit, but I am curious how you modified the sound bar to hold them. Are you able to share how you did that?

Ok, parts getting ordered. (y)

Yeah, that is a good point. New calipers from RockAuto only run somewhere between $25 and $40 depending on the brand. If these don't seem to be doing the job, I will pick up a new set. I did not put the e-brake shoes back on. My LJ is an automatic and I don't remember ever using the parking...

Not sure if anyone would be curious about the end of my brake replacement adventure, but my brakes are back in working order. I was able to clean up the backing plate caliper bracket assembly pulled from a 2005 Jeep Liberty: I installed the new caliper bracket on the passenger side. And...

Welcome - from another Michigander. I'm a 2005 LJ owner who hopes to get onto some Northern Michigan trails by next year.

I really appreciate the advice. I've never had to deal with this before, so at least I'm learning a lot. I will say that I'm not sure I'll be buying an acetlylene torch or a welder any time soon, so I better make some new friends. :) This morning I ended up trying the Upull yard because they...

Thanks for the advice... I spent a couple hours getting the axle out and removing the caliper bracket, so I could attempt to use an easy out tool on it. I heated it up, but didn't throw cold water on it. But I think I may be giving up. I found out that the local U-Pull salvage yard has 5...

Thanks for the advice. Here is my current update... I've been applying a DIY penetrating oil mix of Acetone/ATF fluid to the sheared bolts - once last night, and twice again today. I attempted to loosen the exposed bolt with a pair of needle nose vice grips and regular vice grips, and it is...

Hi all - First time posting here. I recently purchased a 2005 LJ knowing I was going to have to throw some money into it (mostly because it has lived here in the rust belt). It has a grinding noise coming from the passenger side. I assumed it was the front brakes, so I installed new pads and...
