Pinch weld folding front and rear. Since my 33" tires are really closer to 34" tall they rub just slightly front and rear under full compression. I need approximately 1" of extra clearance. Front pinch weld cut with angle grinder and gently folded with a 3# sledge hammer. This sheet metal is...

Body panel work time! Took the front end apart to see how much damage was done by the previous owner that a wood bumper was required. Very surprised by how easy Jeep Liberty is to take apart, torx 20 and a 10mm was all I needed to take off both fenders, grill and headlight assembly, or what...

bugnout, Not LostJeep but KJ Forum. Good to hear that your KJ is till running, surprisingly mine is too with 412,000 miles on the original motor. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

Mass-hole, I have 3.73s right now. They seem to do OK with the 33" tractor tires. I have been looking for either a parts 4 cyl just for the gears or D30A with 4.10 at pick a part, but no luck so far. If I find a set at a reasonable price I'll jump right on it, if not, I'll keep on driving it...

Mass-hole, Yeah I figured that one out already. 3.55, 3.73 and 4.10 gears are the only options for the aluminum D30A. 4.10 gears are $400 shipped and seems unreasonable to spend more on the front gears than what I paid for the Liberty itself. I can possibly go to a solid axle D30 up front or...

Got the bed liner fitted and installed. Back is gutted and top of the truck is chopped off. I am ready for a pick up bed. Found this Sierra bed liner at the dump, it was free so I will make it work! Sides are cut off. This will be the middle section. I still need to trim it to fit into...

Todd n Natalie, HAHA, I knew someone following my Suburban build and shenanigans was going to suggest that! I would definitely have to get a second inline transfer case if I want to even think about running 44" tractor tires on the liberty. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

First drive with the tractor tires and I got stuck within 30 seconds. What will it take to keep the Liberty from getting stuck in my yard? Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

This is not mine but I stumbled onto the weirdest Escalade EXT (Avalanche) conversion I have ever see. Too bad there were no pictures of the inside. So special...

Tractor tires are on!!! I am keeping this a very low budget build, $1,000 and that includes the Jeep and the tires, unfortunately the used R1 tractor tire market is non existent around me and I had to buy new tires. I have 16" rims so my two choices were 8x16 (30" tall) or 9.5x16 (33"...

BigDan, LTZ is the newer 2007 on trim package in Suburbans. Yours is either LS or LT, but in reality it doesn't really matter, all the parts are so interchangeable. Look around here, we have a great variety and probably the best GMT800 2000-2006 GM SUV support anywhere online. There is wide...

Rescued and fit two Yamaha Raptor 700Rs in the bed of my Liberty this morning. Typical morning, made kids breakfast, sent them out to play on their quads. As I'm preparing for the day my 4 year old knocks on the door and says that his quad is stuck on the snowmobile trail in our yard...

m-l_johnny, Liberty is a weird truck, it's not a body on frame nor is it a unibody, it's more of a body around a frame design. So there are two frame rails that run the entire length of the truck with several cross members and sheet metal filling in all the gaps. From the looks of it the roof...

eBay coil and strut spacers: part 2 front spacers BEFORE spacers AFTER spacers OK, unlike the 10 minute rears, there is no quick or easy way to do the front spacers. I slaved away for about 3 hours on and off as my kids were helping (distracting) me. After three hours front drivers side...

When I built the Sub, I was on a tight budget but had standards and absolutely wanted to have a Detroit locker in the back. I could have gone a much less expensive route with a full spool, mini spool, lunchbox locker or even welding it, however after snapping two axles for separate but equally...

JDaPP, Interesting, I did not think of that at all. However I am not actually using the coil spacers or OTT (Over The Top) lift to "lift" the Liberty, I am using it as a cheap way to increase spring and coil preload. In essence I am making the Liberty sit higher by lowering it. I am also...

eBay coil and strut spacers: part 1 (rear) All jacked up, just kidding, only rear coil spacers are in and front is jacked up to show maximum droop. My starting point of the stock suspension ground to fender heights are as follows: Rear pass: 33.75" Rear drive: 34.25" Front pass: 31.25"...

I know for a fact that 33" tires will fit on the Liberty with absolutely no problems or clearance issues once the eBay spacer "lift" is in. I also want to see how these same 33" tires will fit on the Liberty just the way it is right now, stock. Did I mention that the 33" tires I am putting on...

Dances with Wolves, Not sure how I want to box in the cab, most likely will use the rear end of the Jeep just like the green one. Will definitely post a few pictures as soon as it's done. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

Stroked 550, You are very good at reading the specs hidden on the Uhaul website. However unless you have a forklift to load and unload your vehicle onto a trailer that is 82" wide, the distance between the fenders on that same trailer remains 76" and anything wider will require driving over and...
