Who knows if this "journal" will end up being that long, but I like the idea so figured I would give it a shot.
It is a 03 Liberty, was the wife's car. Paid around $6k for it and about 3 months after I bought it, it got pounded by, I am not stretching it, softball size hail and the insurance company totaled it. Wife said she would still drive it so I bought it back. Bought her a new Sonata in Aug and was going to sell the Jeep. I doubt it has ever been off road, and always wanted to but left it alone since it was the wife's, but as she had a new car, I took her for a not too serious spin and decided to keep it.
I am not planning on doing a whole lot with it. I want a winch and probably a lightbar. I doubt I will ever be doing "serious" off road, but there will still be plenty of chances to get stuck.
Hoping to keep the OEM bumper as I like the look, so it looks like I may have tyo go with a KJ Backbone mount - still undecided.
Tis about it. For now it is just a plain jane Liberty Sport, but it's still fun when you decide to leave the road. Wish the gas mileage was better. It has the 3.7l engine and was kind of surprised it only gets around 15 mpg around town. I have not figured actual mpg yet but will next time I fill up. I do know it isn't all that great. Seems pretty low for a 3.7 liter....my 97 truck has a 350 in it and gets better gas mileage......but I can't just be driving around and decide to veer off the road in my truck, so I guess it is the price I pay.....
