And then there were two.

[dklassen]

My wife was tired of her previous car so she decided she wanted a Honda CRV. We went to look at a used one at a Jeep dealership and ended up driving away with an 03 Liberty Sport. We both fell in love with the little SUV. After 5 months I wanted one for myself and I happened across another low mileage 03 Liberty so I picked that one up.

They are both 03 Sports but the one we just got has the moon roof, nicer wheels, and a few more bells and whistles. My wife has always wanted a moon roof so she took the latest purchase and I took hers. To avoid confusion we call them J1 and J2. I'm a little confused as this one has all the options except for the leather seats but yet it's still a Sport.

There's something about the Liberty that just fits. It drives great, turns on a dime, plenty of power, looks great, good room and more. I have to say it's the the most effortless car I've ever driven. Make me smile every time I drive it. I'm not going to leave mine stock for sure. Can't have the wife driving the one with all the goodies.

Welcome to your friendly Liberty neighborhood. What are the production dates on those (look on the inside door jam white sticker)? Just curious to see if one might have received some 02 things like better ******, pre-lifted, etc....

 

[hyde]

That's nice., I always thought the second jeep in a family would be wrangler, but KJ is nice!

 

[dklassen]

Pardon me for my ignorance but what does KJ stand for?

How about JK, that list needs updating, I think.

 

[KJ02Ltd]

Welcome to your friendly Liberty neighborhood. What are the production dates on those (look on the inside door jam white sticker)? Just curious to see if one might have received some 02 things like better ******, pre-lifted, etc....

So, if it's pre-lowered (not pre-lifted), then does it have the better ******?

 

[dklassen]

This prod date on mine says 8-02. I'm checking on the other one.

 

[hyde]

Post a side by side picture! Love the twins!

 

[MoladoGuy]

So, if it's pre-lowered (not pre-lifted), then does it have the better ******?

Pre-lowered was because after 02 they lowered the KJ (due to some a-hole flipping it on the test track). That does not necessarily mean it has the better ****** (maybe it does?)..

actually pre lowered is lifted.
Not "not-lifted"

ours (04) are "not-lifted" or "lowered". If there was 00 or 01, they could have been "pre-lifted" if they were actually "lower".
