Calamaridog's Liberty

calamaridog's Liberty

After getting rid of my Land Cruiser

I have finally put some better springs, shocks, and tires under my Liberty

I've never owned a 4x4 that needed upgrading as bad as this thing

All I can say is night and day difference. It rides awesome on and off road with the OME heavy springs and Bilstein strut and shock combination.

I'm really happy with this vehicle now

We used to have one too... Man they ride like crap stock. Very rough ride. I think my lifted Rubicon was smoother.

Yours looks great though. The nice thing about the KJ is you can probably get one pretty cheap now a days. And a little modding can make it a nice camping vehicle.

Looks good.:smiley_drive: Nice to see another Liberty.

Thanks all. If I owned Jeep, all the Liberty's would have come from the factory like this. It works much better off road now.

Future mods?

Rock rails - thinking Rock Lizard
Roof rack - I love the Bajarack
Fuel tank skid - coming soon
Transfercase skid - coming soon
4.10's - wishful thinking, maybe next tire change
Rear traction - Detroit TrueTrac perhaps

Bryan,

Good to hear from you again. I'm making may way back to SD in the near future. No rig currently, I'll have to work on that!

How soon will you two be coming back and where will you be stationed?

I've been working on a few things before my upcoming trip:


Home built hitch receiver


Gas tank skid plate


New radiator and hoses


SP Performance slotted rotors and Hawk pads

One of our club guys here has a modest lift and 31" MT's on a virtually identical one right down to your wheels and colour. He goes anywhere most of the TJ's and JK's go and he does so on heated leather seats.

We also have two stock ones at the office - yet another blue Limited and a Khaki Renegade. Both owners love them. Although I'm still cold to the newer styling, that panorama roof option would be sweet.

Well, I'm excited to be taking it on a 5 day trip next week. We will see how it does on more than an over night trip.

I've been camping out of my KJ for 5 years and though it's a bit cramped for sleeping if you're tall it is a very good platform for camping in remote areas. It does need the mods mentioned, shocks, springs etc. to be capable.
