That's pretty good honestly. Still don't think it'd do better than an xj with 4.5" lift.
Back on topic.
today I tightened the screws on my center console latch. A lot less slide now. Just need that guy to come through with those steel brackets. Also, noticed some lil kid decided to write his name in my drivers side mirror. Lil turd.

I have. And that is why I am saying it is not real. Ifs is what makes the difference. Cherokees are off the old school of what jeep was about, double solids. The liberty was released to keep up with the other manufactures in the sub suv market. A LOT more comfortable of a ride.
The people I ride with all share the love of wheeling. We don't have the haters, just not our attitude. Yes we talk smack and joke, but we love Offroading in general. My best friend has a Chevy truck, a cj and rides a Yamaha! I have a ford truck, xj, and ride red! How much ish talkin do you think that brings??

The that's not a real jeep argument is completely pointless tons of people only consider wranglers real jeeps come people say 4 door wranglers are not real jeeps a lot of older guys swear up and down its not a real jeep unless it was made by AMC I've even heard a couple guys say the old military jeeps were the only real ones...

I got an xj that I've had for a month and a libby for about 4 years the Libby is very capable off road stock IMO as long as it not fwd it's a real jeep. Now back on topic I walk past it on my way to my truck this morning and said yay it's pay day so I can fit a pitman arm puller and put the drop pitman arm on and start driving it

There is a reason I specified a rough country 4.5 lift, thats the one I have seen on a ramp and did better in a stock Libby, a nice lift kit would out flex the Libby all day long but rough countrys 4.5 kit makes the little liberty look great

Sadly I Scrapped the XJ 2.5 petrol I had been trying to sell it for some time after buying the WJ V8.
I kept on getting derisory and insulting offers from people who hadn't even bothered to view the Jeep ! - so I removed the road tax and called the scrap man, the cash he gave me plus the reimbursement I will get for the tax will just about equel the low offers I was getting.
No doubt many people will say I should have took the low offers to keep the Jeep on the road - a fair point. But why should anyone else profit from my misfortune
The scrap man sells parts at a fair price including online so ultimately other Jeep owners will benefit

Just finished installing a new ZJ fan clutch, and I replace my contact pressure bottle because it broke. Happy to drive the Jeep again since it's been down all week.
