Howdy. I just ordered a Liberty Sport w/ Auto ****** last Sunday.

I ordered skids and tow hooks but didn't notice until later that there was an offroad group that had these same items along with extra engine and power steering cooling.

I tried to add the offroad group, but was too late. What exactly am I missing out on? Is this extra cooling something I'll wish I had?

Depends on what you will be using the Jeep for. O:)

No towing, No Hard-Core Rock Crawling, but I will be going for fairly long offroad drives in high elevations.

By the way, does the 2007 come with a ****** Cooler stock?
I know is used to be standard, but now I'm finding conflicting information.

All 2003+ KJs come with an external trans cooler. If you are doing off-road drive at high elevation, especially at low speeds (under 10-15 mph) then use 4-Lo. The gear reduction in the transfer case make it easier on the engine and trans, thus they don't get nearly as hot.

You really and truly do not need the power steering cooler since you wont be offroading on rocks or towing.

It wouldnt be a bad idea to get the engine driven fan though. Helps to pull more air at low speeds. O:) I dont have one and Ive had my jeep offroad in 90+ heat. It did just fine, but if my electric fan failed, I would be up the creek. :-s
