SO in feb of 2017 I paid $1200 for a 2002 limited. I needed something cheap to pull a trailer with when my explorer died. I figured if I could get 6 months out of it I would be happy and would but something better that summer. It had just under 200,000 miles on it and it ran and drove great but it vibrated when in 4wd I did not need the 4wd so someone mechanic suggested just removing the shaft. Well it now has 310,000 miles on it and other than use a bit or oil and the AC leaks Freon to the rate of a can every 3 to 4 gas fill ups, I have had no issues with it and have been pretty rough on it.. When it is driven it normally has a 6x12 foot enclosed trailer behind it loaded with 3000 to 5000 pounds. These trips are normally across the mountains between Knoxville and South Carolina. One trip was to Tampa and back from Knoxville to pick up a friends Pt Cruiser on a uhaul tow dolly. Aside from crappy gas mileage 10 to 12 MPG loaded and 16 to 18 empty I have no issues and of it blows up tomorrow I could not be upset.

Good to hear someone else is pleased with the liberty. When I bought mine I never owned a 4x4 let alone a Jeep before and I have come to like this vehicle. Like most vehicles it has its pro's and con's but overall I am very impressed with the Liberty. 220,000 when I got it and have done about 30,000 more since and it's still going strong.

Tom -

since you have no crappy gas mileage, how bout some wisdom for the rest of us on ways to increase. My 04 is lucky to get 16 hwy. 06 yet unproven as I work toward inspection.
