I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty Renegade 3.7L V6 4x2. I am just getting a little bored with it. I need something to make it more interesting. Any ideas?
I have thought about a lift but i can't because it won't fit in my garage if i do it. I have thought about a deeper meaner exhaust but i can't afford them. So just wondering if y'all have done anything to your KJs to make them more fun. :shrug:

Well how deep are your pockets. Usually $$$ + Time to think + Jeep = Fun/Broke. I did a louder exhaust because mine was shot.

It's easier to justify fun stuff if it also has some useful functionality. What do you use (or want to use) it for? :)

Holy crap, how low does your garage door hang? I have about 4-6" clearance above the lights with mine (lifted), and could bump the door up a little more if needed.

5 dollar roll of pinstriping tape :shrug:
If you can't afford to change out a muffler at 50-60 bucks then not a lot to do unless you just keep it clean/ wax it often etc

I use it for personally use only. No off road.(Unfortunately) :thumbsdown: I drive it to school and back and just around town.

Maybe i could do a small lift but definitely not a big lift there's no way it would fit.

I dont want to spend a whole lot of money on this car... being that it is my first car and all. :/

Then don't spend any additional money on it, Just maintain it, Drive it and enjoy it! Nothing wrong with doing that.

Not the mountains.

I second that one. Just take good care of it for now and it will get you everywhere you need to go. Something cheap and easy you can do is de-badge the whole thing. It's a mod I've done on every vehicle I've owned. To me it looks cleaner.

Plasti Dip or paint your wheels. It's a $25 job which will make you feel like you have a totally different Jeep.

Here is reality
Anything you do right is going to cost some money unless its something like pinstriping/ removing the badging things like that etc.
You could install cheap set of lights for the look, but they are cheap and will not perform well. Cheap lift? They start at 750-800 and go up from there.
Keep up the oil changes/ transmission flushes/ cooling system etc to keep the KJ running longer and then when you have money after school then you can fix it up more
