    Forgive my ignorance... please!

    Thanks... I too considered just unbolting the driveshaft. I'm trying to find alternatives to laying on my back, in the dirt... but, unless the locking hub scheme is workable, it looks like it may be my only choice. Problem is, whenever I touch anything that requires something be unbolted and...

    Forgive my ignorance... please!

    I have a challenge I thought the good folks here could help me with. Simply put, I'm trying to figure out a way to tow my 2wd Liberty behind my motorhome, without having to resort to trailering it. When we bought it, I did not do sufficient research and relied on the salesman's...

    Looking at buying another Liberty...

    Oh well, it's a moot point... it's been sold. Hey, guess I wasn't meant to have that particular one, may be a better deal right around the corner. My advantage is, I'm in no rush... I don't "need" to buy another one, so I can shop for the best Liberty at the best price.

    Looking at buying another Liberty...

    Asking price is 95 hundred... I know I'll pay a bit more buying through a dealer, but at least it'll be there if I need to holler at someone (lol)

    Looking at buying another Liberty...

    Thanks Dave for your thoughts. To me, 108,000 seems like high mileage, but I guess it really isn't. Over the years, I've found my wife and I average something like 3,000 miles per year... my '07 Magnum has less than 20,000, so our frame of reference is a bit "off". The car I'm looking at is...

    Looking at buying another Liberty...

    ... keeping the 2002 we've got. As my wife and dughter are constantly at war over who gets our Liberty, I thought the simple solution would be to just get another one. I've found a 2005, 4x4 Limited, that looks good, got all the bells and whistles. My only concern is the mileage, it has...

    back bumper oxidizing?

    Painting the fender flairs is really a fairly easy proposition. It's far more complicated sounding than it really is... Before starting, visit your local auto paint supplier and order up a couple or three spray cans of whatever colour you want to paint the flairs. Make sure they add...

    Boy o' boy, my Libby was lookin' a little dirty...

    ... more like filthy! I hadn't really cleaned it in at least two months, so the accumulated grime was stuck to it like kryptonite... it took me virtually all day to get it cleaned and waxed! And, I haven't even begun on the inside... Anyway, thought I post up a shot of it in it's present...

    Towing our Liberty

    Great idea, I'll definitely look into that. Come to think of it, while I'm at it, would it be feasible to transfer the entire "4WD" system out of the totalled Liberty, into mine and gain the full advantage? During some routine maintainance, I noticed the spindles were splined... looks to me...

    Towing our Liberty

    My wife and I have owned a 2002 Liberty Limited, 2WD (I know), since it was new and we'd like to configure for towing behind our motorhome. This little Jeep has been literally bullet proof, no repairs, just maintenance, so we are kind partial to it. I've seen the Remco transmission pump set...

    18" wheels and tires

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely keep an eye out for that. I did check the bolt holes in the wheel, to see if there'd been any uneven wear, indicating the lug nut was putting excessive presssure on one side of the hole... I didn't see any. The wheels have been on the Jeep for...

    18" wheels and tires

    Some time back, maybe a couple or three years ago, I installed a set of Dodge Magnum R/T, 18" wheels and 225/60-18 tires on my 2002, two wheel drive, Liberty Limited. I wanted a custom wheel, I had these in my garage and, besides, they're forged and a lot stronger than most "affordable"...

    Hidden junk collector...

    This afternoon, as I was changing the oil on my wife's Liberty, I started cleaning up around the engine compartment. I pulled out the foam "seals" on either side of the cowl, where the rear of the hood meets the fender. It appears as of they were "glued" in at the factory, but the adhesive...

    Towing Jeep "4 down"...

    Just for the sake of discussion, would it be feasible to install the transfer case, front differential and axles in a 2WD Liberty? The reason I'd consider this is that my Liberty has been absolutely bullet proof... aside from the ball joint recall, nothing has ever broken on this vehicle. I...

    Towing Jeep "4 down"...

    Agreed, they're a great vehicle. Had I done proper research and not relied on what a salesman said, I'd have bought the 4WD Liberty back in '02. Learned my lesson... Oh well, that's water under the bridge... so I'm gonna be searching for a clean, used Liberty 4X4 as a tow'd.

    Towing Jeep "4 down"...

    I kinda thinkin' you're right about the lack of a manual transfer case... but, being completely uneducated in the ways of the electronic 4X4 systems, I thought I'd be better off asking the experts. I don't have access to the owner's manual, I haven't purchased the vehice as of yet... but I've...

    Towing Jeep "4 down"...

    I know this is a forum dedicated to the Liberty, but hopefully, my question can be answered by the knowledgeable folks here.... I'm looking at a 2006 Grand Cherokee with a 4.7 engine and an electronic four wheel drive system. The reason for this potential purchase is, we want a vehicle to...

    After sittin' at the airport...

    Thanks, I think...(lol) I'm not a white car guy either, but this was one of those "Ad cars...", the loss leader for the weekend sale. I got to the the dealer as they opened, on the first day of the sale and bought it before anyone else even saw it. It was right after Jeep introduced the...

    After sittin' at the airport...

    ... and having been filthy before being parked there, the wifes Liberty was sorely in need of some serious detailing. It took nearly two and a half days of scrubbin', rubbin' clay barrin' and polishin', but it finally looks good again. Of course, I promptly took it out, into the hills for a...

    My version of a "new" Liberty...

    Yes, either that or a Magnum.
