There's nothing you can possibly do to those roly-poly looking abominations to make them look "good". Except re-design them to the new Liberty body style.

Yeah, really funny how the Liberty was supposed to be so much better than the boxey old Cherokee.....and the first major change to the Liberty made them look more like a Cherokee??? Duh, they should just slap a straight axle under the new Liberty, raise up about 3 inches and just start calling it a Cherokee, again. They would probably sell much better.

Looks like a childs toy to me. I think what makes the front end look bad is the dorky headlight gaurds. It belongs in the sandbox at a daycare. Square the body some, put in a solid front axle, and BRING BACK THE 4.0

I'd wheel the crap out of it, and then let you know.

They don't all look bad lifted, just that one. Something about it screams fake. It's like all the pretty jacked trucks you see on the new car dealers lots. They slap on a lift kit, add 15k to the sticker price, and some fool with more money than brains buys it thinking he will be the envy of the town. Then they spend more time washing and waxing it than we spend building ours from the ground up.

1) The wheels suck. Period.

2) It's a body lift, and a body lift only - why?

3) That poor excuse for a brush bar is mucking up an otherwise reasonable-looking front end. Also, is that bumper stock? The fog light placement looks weird...

I have seen a few very tough-looking (okay, "pretty" tough-looking) Libertys with the potential for real off-road prowess, but this is not one of them.

I actually do like the looks of the Liberty (older or newer) - I just wouldn't choose one over any number of other better, more useful and slightly less pretentious trucks.

Oh, duh - didn't think of that.

Then why does it look so much like a body lift? Is it just huge springs, then?

Livertys aren't offered in a Rubicon package are they?

Ohvkj's Libby is bad! It's on JF.

That's a suspension lift. you can't BL them and what you see is the front crossmember dropped to keep the A arm angles and what not right. Same deal as the new Chevy 1500s you see with the huge painted front thing hanging down.

were you around when the small Cherokee came out
you had to be a girl to drive one no self respecting guy would get in one
the only small 4x4 that qualified as a mans ride was the CJs
