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.

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??
My Libby has had very little problems off road, yes I have to work a little harder and pick better lines in the Libby. You said that you don't hate but your first reply said the liberty is not a real jeep and the cherokee is... The that's not a real jeep argument is completely pointless tons of people only consider wranglers real jeeps some 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...

It's not hating it's what it is. I don't care what every owner says. Everyone is partial to what they drive. Probably why they bought it. It's all machismo BS. 2 straight axels. The xj uses the same designed drive system since Willis. They are not hi tech, they just work well. A arms, ifs, all that stuff, not what a jeep is. You can love your Libby, and it could be a great vehicle for ya, stock to stock, the wheeling we do on the west coast, you will not be able to keep up. Seen it many times when we throw events at Ocotillo Wells and truckhaven, (google them) city kids come out with their stock Libby's, and commanders, and fj's..... Thinking they can play too because the emblem on the back says 4x4

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.
