It ran perfectly, the body was just a POS because of the weather OH gets, and it just destroyed the undercarriage, as hard to accept as it was, as I thought I'd maintained everything perfectly.

@Sota, I'm sure it was fixed decently as they said they took it to a dealer to do all the work. I was quoted somewhere around 3500 for the repairs, which was where I essentially said I was done. I found my grandparents old Chevy Venture years after they got rid of it (they purchased it new...

Kinda thought I'd never see it again. With the way things were when I traded it in (with the frame and all) I really didn't see without major work how it would get back on the road. Nevertheless, it was still fun to see and talk to him about. Kinda weird nothing changed at all about it, except...

Found the KJ! Some kid at the local HS is driving my old KJ in all her glory. Noticed the Apple Stickers as I dropped my sister off at school yesterday. Got closer and noticed the new tank straps and rust/dent in drivers side door. Talked with the kid and he bought it from the dealer that I...

2002 Jeep Liberty. Purchased originally from Clarke Megamall in Barberton, was traded there in 05. I purchased it and had it titled in my moms name as I had next to no credit at the time, paid it off and took possession (titled as mine) at 151k (this will all make sense if you see the carfax of...

Yeah I would've been interested in doing that, but I wouldn't have had it done with me. i.e you take the whole body. I just picked up a '13 Fiat 500, and actually really like it thus far. Got a good deal, and I figure that with as little snow driving as I do/did in my personal car (have a...

Looks like I'll be selling it to the dealer that noticed all the stuff wrong with it, as they're offering me a trade in value as if it were "functioning" I wasn't expecting that all entirely, but I've found a few cars I'm interested in. I'll keep it a surprise, and will probably have...

A lot of memories in mine too! You can always make new memories though, gotta look at it in a positive way! I hope it honestly gets parted out so that it can live on in a way. I would hate for the whole thing to get crushed down.

Yeah I am too! From what I gather on the mileage, it's lived a pretty good life, but it would have been nice to get it to 200k. (Kinda like the Fiero from How I Met Your Mother :-)

2002 Liberty Sport base. It was manufactured 10/01, so it's probably one of the first ones made, however, I'm probably not correct there, but 2002 was the first year of production. I bought it in 05.

Tom, There is a frame crack nearest to under the drivers side door. The U joint is also fractured. Basically it's falling apart all at once for whatever reason. I know the dealers can be kinda iffy when it comes to "damage finding" as they want to make extra money. Hearing him say he wouldn't...

Not sure anyone would find this information of any value, but after 168,776 miles, my Jeep Liberty has gone to the "junkyard in the skies.". I took it in for an oil change and they found a small transmission leak. I took it back to the dealership, where they found more corroded components, brake...

Found a guy that is a mechanic that lives reasonably close to me. Had it scanned, and it's coming back as an Emissions/EVAP sensor error. I don't have the exact code at the moment. I was told it was something that would eventually needed to be tended to, but it isn't the gas cap that is actually...

I guess I should have explained more, I put the original cap back on after cleaning it, and then replaced the cap. The light is still on. It's not running noticeably any different then before this started happening. It has gone thru an amazing amount of tail light bulbs in it's lifetime, but...

Have another interesting one for someone to try and figure out, since the people at the dealer can't find an error code, or a rhyme or reason as to why this is happening. My mother owns an 06 Liberty with 162k on it. She purchased it with around 12k miles on it, (we're a Libby family :-))...

It hurts to see a Liberty like that. It's even the Limited Edition, and low miles for the year. People just don't seem to care when it comes to these. The only major repairs I've had since 05 were the power steering & my gas tank fell off as a result of rusted fuel straps. I bought it at 15k...

To tell you the truth, I'm glad it's back. It was a long road and kinda $$$, but it's been my "truck" for so long, that it makes sense. I basically know the KJ inside and out, know it's small quirks etc. I'm sure that if I purchased another vehicle (used or new) it would have it's own quirks...

FINALLY got the KJ back after a long awaited last week. The "skinny" is basically that the power steering was out. It was originally thought to be a pump, and I was quoted accordingly. I received a call the next day saying that while the pump was *initially* the problem, there is a small gasket...

When I purchased my last set of tires from Tire-Rack for my KJ, I had a worn spot for whatever reason on the front right. I took it into the store that I normally do business with and they switched out the tire under warranty, believe it or not, because they do business with Tire-Rack and can...

I am going to definitely get a once over to see if anything else needs to be replaced. I am taking the advice of a couple other posters and getting this done so I don't have any surprises in the near future.
