Taller doesn't help you as much as you think.. Lift & tires < gears & lockers. I honestly wish my jeep was a bit lower. Much better center of gravity. That and a lot less $$ on tires lmao

Why lift it??? To beat her you don't have to. Trim your fenders and run 31s take the lift money and put it towards a locker or weld the rear. You can walk all over her in a weekend and without a lift for way less money. And that's why xjs are better. Just not in your house.

I will take my XJ over a Liberty any day of the week but I do like the trim package on this Libby.

Yep, a Liberty Wagoneer

Yep, it must be a rare option or it is a brand new option.

Superj I oughta slap you!! Your XJ should stop running right now because of your lack of appreciation for it. The fact that the Libby can go places the Cherokee can't has nothing to do with it being a Libby. It has everything to do with the added equipment. And a taller top simply means higher COG = easier to tip over. Since you don't appreciate your XJ, please give it away & go buy a Prius.
