Re: The Colorado BS thread
I started doing some of mine. Doesn't go back super far yet. Mostly to tie in the bumper. But I did too and bottom in 1/8". My thinking was that it should help minimize twisting forces on, so 1/8" seemed plenty

Not sure on my Mom's Year Liberty 2012-2013 I think it had some abs issue that the dealer wanted $1500 to fix my Dad bought the part on Ebay and put it in for $150...But other than that it has had no issues .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
My thougt on it was there is no rock contact and if the plate is made to fit right against the rail you have .125-.135 backed by .074 rail totaling .199-.209 so it is thicker than 3/16th ...now if it has gaps it would probably need thicker . I will.go a bit thicker driver side since the track bar is on this side I also will be moving it forward and will fully weld it back no bolts .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I work with a guy that owns a 2011 and he's not had any issues with his. When I researched it the only major issues I found were HVAC problems (and mine works great now) and the trans got beat up for only being a 4 speed (which would be fine if I didn't climb the pass each night on the way home). I'm hoping that mine will be ok when this gets sorted out. I really don't mind the way the thing looks and I've gotten a bit spoiled with all the features on the inside (heated seats, bluetooth, etc.).

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Over kill got the best of me afte plating the bottom front rail in .125 I slot cut some 4x4 .250 angle and fit that to the rail and burnt it home ..lol...no questions now if it will be adequate. I will do the driver side the same it will give a solid point to weld my track bar to .

George is going to NEED a V8 soon enough just to bring the power to weigh ratio back to near stock.

When the 4.0 dies that will be an option , but for now the 5.13s plus the.5.0.Atlas have no lack of Torque to move it ...But Lubes TJ has the.Lq9 thought alive .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Yeah, that's his 10th-ish motor by now?
I've entertained the idea of a V8 in the buggy.
Cost is one thing, and redoing a bit of work is another.
If I we're going that route, it would most likely be LQ9 with some work to bump it up to 450HP or so, 4L80E, and a Hero Case

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Oh a v8 is not happening real soon I have about had my fill of building and not wheeling , so if it died this year another 4.0 would be dropped right in so I could use the Jeep . I like the cool factor of a v8 , but for most trails it is not much help ...Besides I have about had my fill of Black burgers , Tingling wrists , and cuts & burns so a v8 transplant is not work I want to tackle for about 2 years .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Jeep is out in the storage lot so I can not get a measurement on the fuel line size for the nylon quick lock that goes from pump to hard line ...it is wither'5/16th or 3/8th . If anyone knows what the size is I could order the AN quickl ock adapters without making the trip to the Jeep ...My Jeep is a 99 the returnless set up . The gas tank raise left just enough line to hook up the line , but not enough to route it well .

RMR graded my trailer load as "#2 unprepared." Maybe I should have called around.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
The Liberty finally threw a code today while coming home from work. It was barely running and the CEL started flashing so I shut it down and had it towed to the dealer. So now we'll see what the deal is. Really trying to figure out if I need to cut my losses and move on though.
