Hey guys..
I'm new to the KJ board but not new to the Jeep and Landy game. I'm looking into a KJ Liberty within the next 3 weeks and wanted to know what years and models would be good? A handful of family and friends have them and from bad (3.7 threw a rod @160K to good (Daily with 95K), all have different opinions. I want something of a lifted daily since my XJ gets rank gas mileage and my LR/RR's forget it (LOL).
I searched a buyers guide on here but I could not find anything. So my main focus is based on the KJ itself.
1. Best years? (I always stay away from the first year of anything)
2. Mileage (safe base for the 3.7)
3. any points to look out for (non maintenance wearing)
4. common problems (O/H problems, trans and T/Case, rusting)
Believe you me, My lifted XJ has put me through the wringer and back with parts replacement so I'm kin to it... I'm going to lift it max 3" due to CV driveline nd run wider A/T's but other than that.. Keep it mostly stock.
Thanks again.
