I will be picking up my new toy thursday. Will cost me $250.
4.0L I-6, AX15 5 speed manual. Runs and drives good except issue with 4WD. 146K miles. No leaks except a little antifreeze.
ISSUES:
4WD isn't working properly - may just be a vacuum leak, could be serious.
rusty rocker panels
passenger window only goes down halfway
Hard to get into reverse.
Going to pick up a set of 4.5" springs for $40. along with a free s10 leaf pack from my cousin. trim the fenders to stuff my $75 Dunlop Mud Rovers.
Have an adjustable track bar and adjustab le LCA's on the way used from ebay already (under $100 total)
Wil weld the carriers front and rear and beat on it as is for now.
Have a wagoneer 44 on its way for $50 for the front, and will be getting a free GM 12bolt once my buddy upgrades that will go in there and then it will get 2" more fo lift and 35's.

I like how they look.... I'm actually eyeballing a silver, '01 2DR down the street from my house at a dealer. The only reason I don't have it yet is cuz I know they want too much for it...

I got this thing home yesterday.
Talk about a loaded down Jeep Liberty.
I took a u-haul dolley behind the Libby to pick this up. When I left my house I had my dog, my buddy, a ALL CAST IRON trans and tcase (np435/205 combo) a 33" tire, 4 10" wide wheels and an air tank to air the tires up on the xj with.
I drove 3 hours like that.
Got to the Sear's resi, and loaded the xj up. After getting the title taken care off I took off to Cleveland. It took approx 1hr to get there.
I stopped and purchased a Liberty ift kit and tossed it the xj. I then met 86ford where he took the trans/tcase combo, and swapped me a set of wheels for the wheels I had, and also sent me with another 5 tires and wheels. we piled it all into the XJ.
I left Cleveland drove another 1.5hr and picked up a FSJ dana 44 and put it inside the xj. I hit i-77 from there and set the cruise control to 75mph.
Liberty handled it really well and the hydro brakes on the dolley helped slowing it down really well.
It was a right ride sitting on the bump stops though
Got home unloaded the xj and clicked it into 4lo, nothing happened, jerked realyl har don the shifted and it popped in. No lises, switched to 4hino noises either, went back to 2w, then abck to 4hi and got the noise, pulled the shifter while at a roll and it popped completely in and the noise went away... its all in a stiff shifter.
Time to start building.

More parts arrived today.
I drove to Lexington Ky where I met up with a guy from NAXJA, and purchased a 29 spline 8.25, welded and two spare shafts.
I then stopped by a good friend of mines machine shop as I havent seen him in quite some time. He just so happened to have a nice set of unused custom built upper control arms that he built for his wifes cherokee before he wrecked it. He put them in my hand and told me merry christmas. Now if I can find a set of tubular lowers I will have a complete lift for damn dirt cheap. I am still at less than $500 total invested.

Just barely clipped him, he fell over and jumped into the Liberty when I opened the door and got out. I took him to the vet and he checked out fine with just some sore muscles and bruising. I searched for 2weeks for a rightful owner and found no one, guess im stuck with him
