My baby goes back on the road tomorrow ... Brand new engine, new starter, new intake manifold, new oil pressure switch, new transfer case switch, new exhaust hardware, rebuilt the trans and had transgo HD kit installed, new transfer case, new front driveshaft, both diffs services as well... I can hardly wait to drive her... T-minus 7 hours

With all that new stuff I'm sure it will have been worth the wait.

Nice looking Jeep too so you must be "chompin at the bit" to run it.

Did you hit the lottery? Kinda tough to shell out all that dough in one shot!

It wasn't easy to do... But I was fortunate enough to be able to save up a lump sum of money to get it done... And get it done right. And I've been working my **** off to recoup. I bought this jeep when i was 21 and it had 0 miles.. The family friend at the dealer never even saw one... Just heard about it lol... Im 34 now... And After 13 years and over 330,000 miles... She has kept me alive and kept me safe. She's taken her licks and always comes back strong! In my opinion... She was more than worth fixing and then some. I have never felt safer or more capable / confident in any other vehicle i love my Libby. And will drive her as long as I'm around... LoL...

So for anybody wondering if you can get great service, safety and high miles out of a Libby...

Your post right there pretty much answers those questions. Congrats on having your Jeep back on the road! :favorites37:

She feels totally frickin AWESOME!!!! Oh man... I guess I had been been driving her around for a while in pretty bad shape because it feels like a totally new vehicle!! Throttle response is what got me! Just a tap and spunky goes!!!! No more sluggishness... At all! Tires do that little spin in reverse with a tap like when she was new omg I hope to have her another 13 years and then some!

Sweet! I see the JBA arms there in the front - what mods have you done over those 13 years?

She started out as a sport with the gray bumpers, flares, and door Moldings... I dyed the door trim and painted the bumpers black. Then got some renegade flares. Installed a custom made 3" spacer lift that my Buddy and I made In his metal Shop. Then installed rancho struts and shocks... The shocks are Durango shocks, Al's arms, upgraded Every bushing And balljoint to moog..., had a custom length rear driveshaft fabbed up with spicer joints, installed freedom edition seats and two toned the rest of
The interior to match, she's got cold air intake, headers, and magnaflow cat back with high flow cats... And A transgo shift kit. There's more to list but this is the gist of it!

Hey, I sing that song for my Libby- she's now on her 2nd engine after 148K miles. She's in too good a shape for the scrapyard, and for all I know, she may be the last vehicle I'll be driving. After the engine went, I knew she had a 2nd wind coming. So now she's still rolling down the trails and highways, and hopefully- into the sunset.....
