Just bought my 2007 Khaki Liberty Sport on Saturday. Went to the lot looking at a 2003 S10 crew cab, drove it and didn't like it. Then we saw the Liberty. It was priced $1000 less than the S10, and was 4 years newer. Had higher miles on it than I wanted at 125k, but it was spotless under the hood and runs awesome, so that's what we came home with. We got out of there with a pretty good deal, and are enjoying it so far.
I've always liked off-roading, but never had a Jeep. Had a 93 S10 Blazer as my first vehicle, that my dad bought new and I learned after only 2 weeks of having my license that it did not float (the hard way). Next vehicle was an 87 Subaru Brat...it was a piece of crap but I learned a lot about working on vehicles from it. After that I bought a 91 Geo Prizm off of a friend for $500, and ran the piss out of it like any 17 year old would. Bought a 93 Geo Tracker during my senior year and did relatively a lot of work to it (spacer lift, bigger tires/wheels, Shrockworks bumper, bed lined interior, headers, clutch, bunch of small stuff here and there)...sold that some years later, which I regret. Since that, I've had an 06 Civic Si, 00 Miata SE, 04 Mustang GT with a bunch of bolt-ons (miss that one too), 06 Trailblazer (mainly the wife's), 95 Probe GT, 99 Grand Prix GTP, 10 F150 XLT crew cab (mainly the wife's, but I wheeled that thing a lot also), 13 Mazda CX5, then my 03 SVT Focus that I just traded in for the Liberty. Yeah, I go through cars. Plan on keeping the Mazda and Jeep for a while though...
Plans for the Libby, want to lift it RIGHT and put some bigger tires on (nothing crazy, 31" or so), MBRP exhaust (for the sound, not expecting horsepower), CB radio, upgraded sound system (aftermarket head unit and speakers, no subs or amp or anything), maybe an aftermarket bumper (who makes them for the KJ?), a better roof rack setup, and small stuff here and there.
