Hi Mate,  Welcome.

Her indoors had a 2.5 KJ Cherokee CRD for a while. 

At the time I found and uploaded a few maintenance manuals for the KJ/Liberty (US) range.  https://birtydastards.com/frm/index.php?topic=18967.0

Aussi bgbazz had one too and knows quite a bit about them.  I guess the 2.8 is not a million miles different from the 2.5.

Have a poke around in the tech section.  The search function will surely point you in the right direction.

Welcome to the club.

There should be a few folk along who may be able to give some advice.

Can you provide more information on what is (not) happening?  Starter? Fuel pump?  Charged battery?  Electrics (eg lights, door locks, and radio) working?

 hi guys new here. I have a 2003 KJ 2.8 crd witch will come as no supprise dosent run. I am determined to get her running soon. have got  wiring diagrams and going to get stuck in as soon as it warms up a bit

Been trying to get out on the mighty CBR this year, nothing too taxing, about 2 hours at a time top's but have really enjoyed it, its inconceivable to think its 25 years old on Jan 1st !!!

Stay safe dastards 

Hmmm  .... been trying to ... boo hoo hoo.  Is that because of its owner of advanced age or the moped?  :hysterical

I haven't stopped commuting on the Yammy since March/April.  Weather was ace last few weeks.  28 y/o and counting 

You stay safe too and happy X-mas to all Dastards. 

Great to hear your back from Spain in one piece mate, sounds like a fine adventure

Its being treated to new front discs, new cush drives & having the wheels re painted for the 1st time at some point this winter 

Stay safe dastards 

Hi Gaz I was running Irok 39.5 …..
So basically a 40 and 13.5 “ wide on an H2 hummer wheel…..did the job well …soft walled tyre that climbed everything and dug effin large holes

So many pay and play sites stopped trailer queens and disallowed anything above 35” so I was screwed….

Apparently Kirton is now invitation only so King CJ mentioned last night…..

Things have changed sadly…..

Hence why I have been doing Enduro in Wales on the KTM….. trails and tracks and byways….that even a prepared Jeep would have difficulty with….maybe?

Also Just back from Spain in the mnts above Malaga….by about 50 miles….
Loads of trails and goat tracks up the sides of mnts…..too steep to walk up but life affirming to ride up….
Still miss the Jeep scene and camaraderie though…..have fun ya Dastards

Good idea from the honourable member for Merlot & Mushrooms  ...... but what size tyres were you running Jez ?

Way bigger than Dave's class limit of 35's I'll wager 

Good luck with the rebuild Dave, is that 44's front & rear ?

Looking good….


1 ton axles……everything else will break first…..

Just saying……

They are heavy though…..LS transplant needed….

Building some 44's. Stuck on 35"s for the class so tons would be ground anchors.

Looking good….

Look forward to the pics Dave 

Were you in the TJ mate or back in an XJ ? ..... hope its a straight forward repair 

In the race TJ. Gathering parts for new axles.
