that liberty is solid and everyone wonders why i keep putting money into my liberty the frame is heavy and solid BUILT MERCEDES-BENZ tough yeah ive put a new engine in mine and tranny and new CV axles and new front propshaft but ive took it off roading down by the white river here in indiana and dude that liberty is the most solid little 4x4 suv you can get and i refuse to give it up.
I had an '06, if you have to have a KJ, the Renegades are the ones to get! I had a blast with it upstate NY. Put 31" Duratracs and it handled a foot of snow with no problem. Of course, I aired down.

I wheel and DD a '07 KJ with 3" lift and 33s.... just blew the front diff all to hell on a rock climb. The front aluminum differentials are junk haha also busted the rack and pinion bracket.

Hello man I’m from Macon ga I usta ride with south ga jeepers and milspec jeepers at trey mountain I have a 96 zr2 blazer 6 inch lift on 35s I usta rode with them with I still have that truck but I just got a wj Jeep just 4x4 swapped it been wanting to take it out 5 inch long arm 32s next time ya go I’ll come ride
Drop a lunch box in the rear of the KJ and it will do magic. I know mine dose Still tossing up if I should pop one in the front or go for a manual Locker as I leave it in FULL Time 4x4 As it just drives nicer in AWD mode.
Holy hell that was a class in terrible lines for vehicles with open diffs. I've had a KJ CRD ( lock-rite rear diff ) and it would have WALKED all of that just like the single Rubicon did. You guys need to spend less money on lifts and gegaws and more money on axles.
Totally agree with your comment, those were awful lines and approached to slow as well. I have a 2006 dakota 4X4 ext cab stock and a 04 cr-v that I have driven through rougher terrain, quicker and without suffering the teeter totter seen here.

Hey quick question: Someone near me is sellling his 2004 Jeep Liberty Sport 4WD with only 18,600 miles (yes, 18,6k) for $2,600 usd. His wife passed away and he is looking to get rid of it. Is it a good deal? The exterior looks very good. Thanks!
Yes! If I had his numbered I'd buy it myself. If you keep the rust off it you could get to 250,000 miles out of a jeep liberty with proper oil changes and normal ware and tears
All this turning off traction control is stupid.... It's so fast and highly optimized ... I bet some of these cars do 0 to 60 faster with it on... For example...
Do you know what has been done to the liberty? I have a 03 liberty limited edition 4X4 and I’m looking to do some mods and I want to know what has been done and how much it all costed in the end? Do you have any idea how much was spent?
I can tell you from experience, having 4x4 in that jeep just adds that much more dependability. A set off offroad tires and picking the best line is all you need. I have the 02 liberty sport. RWD only and ive gone up and down some crazy trails with no issues. I even have the side rails on hahaha, thing is a beast! Always check your joints though. Few Recalls were issued for them as well as the window regulators, airbag sensor, and gas tank for rear end explosions because the gas tank is in the crush zone. Figured id mention it in case you didnt know. Free tow hitch!
The dude in the red Jeep would do better not spending so much on useless light bars and put the money into a locker or two ha ha still enjoyed the vid I love the kj and I love mine a 4 inch lift good tires and arb air lockers make them awesome jeeps
What type of lift do you recommend on my 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade? I do mean Liberty Renegade, most try correcting me by saying it's either Liberty or Renegade. They don't understand there is a Liberty Renegade model, that came before the Renegade.
Rebel Jeep I had a two wheel drive liberty a few years back and I had the Rock Krawler 3.5 on it. It’s a spacer lift but it allowed room for 33s and provided great flex. Not sure if it’s still being made. If your budget allows, check out Jeepin By Al. Pricy but best lifts for liberties
@@RyansJeepGarage cool thanks man. Mine is 4x4 by the way, I think the Liberty Renegade is the only 4x4 of the Liberty's, all others seem to be 2 wheel drive.
Rebel Jeep no all liberty models were offered in 4x4. The renegade was available as a two wheel drive as well. The suspension on the 4x4 and 2x4 are basically the same as far as front coil overs go
Hi, there guys, great video! I liked it! I'm looking the way of how to install a 4x4 system to my 2005 Liberty Limited 3.7L, is there any kit or way to do that? Thanks!

Give it da beans
That's why fully locked diffs work well.

Still tossing up if I should pop one in the front or go for a manual Locker as I leave it in FULL Time 4x4 As it just drives nicer in AWD mode.
What locker are you thinking of for the front?
A rear locker would be a good idea. My zr2 could have done all that
Doesnt that Liberty have a LSD diffferencial on the back? With a little hand brake to engage the diff clutch and u should be on your way.

All the liberty had to do was turn the wheel to the right and it would of drove right out close to the end.
tun on traction control on that liberty...ABS needs to stop the spinning wheel so the open diff will engage the other wheel...
All this turning off traction control is stupid.... It's so fast and highly optimized ... I bet some of these cars do 0 to 60 faster with it on... For example...
You should only turn off traction control if you have a problem...
What size tires are on the Liberty exactly? Want to get some out on my KJ as well
NorthStar Racing it wasn’t mine, but it was running a set of JK Rubicon takeoffs. So they were 255/70/17
Or run some tj Rubicon take offs they're the right bolt pattern without runing spacers
