Just a few pics of my Jeep Liberty Limited 05

[Jeza]

After doing some engine work such as new heads, oil pump, pistons etc and it being out of action for a while, she's back and going strong and I had chance to do some aesthetics.

Hope all is well where ever you are.

Looks like the body is in good shape, interior as well ?
But sagged like all stockers isn't it.

Nice & clean ! Did you wear the buffer out?
How many miles were on it when the engine re-build took place?

 

[Jeza]

Yeah the body works is pretty good, has some paint fade in places, bonnet chips etc but i am currently looking at getting it wrapped. Interior is pretty good for the age, grey leather. There is no rips or tears, just a couple of small pen ink stains. What do you mean by sagged? The suspension? I'm not sure, it looks pretty good to me but i might be corrected?. Im looking at a Rough Country suspension upgrade. She had alot of miles...210,000 I have a feeling I'm going to need to do the transmission sooner rather than later also....never ends hey??

NO NO NO NO NO to rough country or any other spacer lift unless you just totally hate the Jeep and are trading it off in two days
Rough Country or any spacer lift IS NOT a upgrade

On level ground, measure left front, middle of the wheel ( hub ) to lower portion of the flare
and report back

haha had a feeling that may be the response. Ill start trawling through all the lift kit posts.

Roger that...will report back

Do You know why they named it Rough Country? .. Because even on smooth pavement, it'll feel like a Rough Country Road !

Yes and just common sense
stock springs are very weak from the factory
by 65-70,000 miles they are toast
Then add a spacer lift which adds more stress to worn out springs and shocks and you have a bad ride, poor handling and wears other parts out faster as well
Cheap is expensive

Ok, so I measured from centre of the hub to lower flare...18". How does that sound?

Also...ive decided on the OME Springs and Blistein shocks etc etc...pay abit more for for a far better set up.

Not bad, just an inch below new stock height
I've had them come into my garage almost two inches lower than new stock height , sitting on the front bumpstops almost LOL

That's a nice looking Jeep. I'm looking for one. But I have found that the Limited all have leather seats. I don't like those and don't want them.

Also, those tires look too clean. A little road dust wouldn't hurt them at all.

Thanks man. I personally like the leather seats...each to there own.

I do agree on the tires.....there's limited offroading in South Florida...she will get dirty in due course
