TYRE CARE, RIGHT PRESSURE

We don't use the tire gauge when we figure out what pressure to run our tires at. We use crayons or chalk. Draw a line across the tread of the tire and drive in a straight line until you notice wear (usually 50-100 feet). Once that's done, we note the correct pressure front and rear for reference later.

This is what the crayon line looks like if your tire is over-inflated. Notice the crayon remaining on the outer edge of the tire. Under-inflated would be the exact opposite of this, with the line worn from the edges (not from the middle).

Like Goldilocks, you want to get the tires just right-and this is what it looks like. Never listen to a tire shop as to what pressure is right for your Jeep. Your Jeep will have different needs than every other Jeep. Figure it out for yourself. Your wallet will thank you in the long run.

ENGINEERING FAQs



The Jeep Liberty is equipped a 4-speed, four-wheel drive system called "Command --Trac." The system provides two-wheel drive, neutral, four-wheel drive high range and four-wheel drive low range positions. Shifting the Jeep into four-wheel drive may become necessary on slippery or icy roads, and switching between the high and low range may become necessary if the road conditions deteriorate as you travel on them. The four-wheel drive is also very helpful if you travel off highway.
  1. Grasp the transfer case shifter on your Jeep and shift from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive high range by pulling straight back on the shifter from "2H" to "4H." This shift can be made at any speed less than 55 miles per hour, without stopping. The case will shift easier if you ease off the throttle as you move the lever.

  2. Step2

    Slow the vehicle to two or three miles per hour if you must shift the transfer case to four-wheel drive low range. Shift you transmission to neutral then grasp the transfer case shifter. With the Jeep still coasting, shift the transfer case quickly from "4H" into "N" and from "N" into the "4L" position.

  3. Step3

    Shift the transmission back into gear and slowly accelerate. Do not drive your Jeep over 25 miles per hour in low range, or you will damage the transfer case. Shifting back up through the gears is the reverse of the procedure in the preceding steps.







http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_CJ

The Jeep CJ (or Civilian Jeep) is a public version of the famous Military Jeep from World War II.

The first CJ prototype (the CJ-2) was introduced in 1944 by Willys, and the same basic vehicle stayed in production through seven variants and three corporate parents until 1986.

A variant of the CJ is still in production today under license. The last CJs, the CJ-7 and CJ-8, were replaced in 1987 by the Jeep Wrangler.


Production of the Willys MB, better known as Jeep, began in 1941, shared between Willys, Ford and American Bantam which had initiated the original Jeep body design. 8,598 units were produced that year, and 359,851 units were produced before the end of World War II. In total, 653,568 military Jeeps were eventually manufactured. The origin of the name "Jeep" has been debated for many years.

Some people believe "Jeep" is a phonetic pronunciation of the abbreviation GP, from "General Purpose", that was used as part of the official Army nomenclature. The first documented use of the word "Jeep" was the name of a character Eugene the Jeep in the Popeye comic strip, known for his supernatural abilities (e.g., walking through walls).

Eugene the Jeep is a character in the Popeye comic strip. A mysterious animal with magical abilities, the Jeep first appeared in the March 16, 1936

It has been theorized that the Jeep vehicle was named after this character: soldiers in World War II may have nicknamed the machine after the then-popular character because they shared an ability to go anywhere

Jitney (U.S. and Canada)
A jitney is a North American English term which originally referred to a livery vehicle intermediate between a taxi and a bus.[5] It is generally a small-capacity vehicle that follows a rough service route, but can go slightly out of its way to pick up and drop off passengers. In many U.S. cities (e.g. Pittsburgh and Detroit), the term jitney refers to an unlicensed taxi cab.

The name jitney comes from an archaic, colloquial term for a five-cent piece in the US. The common fare for the service when it first came into use was five cents, so the five-cent cab or jitney cab came to be known for the price charged.
