I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited, I have fallen in love with this Jeep, it has 123,000 mile on her. I am sinking $1,700 into her for; Paint, Body, Lift and Tires. Is it worth it? Getting worried and I will explain why.
This was my peace of mind. A 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9 V6 auto 2wd. This truck is abused to its limits.
-125,000 hard miles
-9800 miles on oilchange-black and a quart low
-pulls 6 cars,trucks,SUVs on a trailer (2 at a time) 40 miles every week
-****** has slipped for over 2 years now
-Has been driven hard and literally beat with everything (baseball bats, golf clubs, sticks, ect.)
-Cracked manifold, taped on battery post and rag for airfilter
after all this she still runs and could be fixed cheap, but I could care less if it caught on fire and burned down as I have no money in the truck, but it is reliable.
after all the abuse to the Ram I was certain that the Liberty which gets taken good care of ( oil changes every 3000 and fluid checks and changes) would last for ever.
My concern is I am seeing alot of post and topics like: Blown Engine, Dropped Valves, Busted Transfer case and the list goes on.
Am I being paranoid? Can't afford the 1700 for lift and body and then spend another 3000 on engine..... I need peace of mind.....inspiration.
