as long as they get ride of the car based models (like the Patriot) and get rid of any front wheel drive configuration and i am there.
my brother bought a 2006 GC Laredo with FWD... what a joke that thing is! my beater '95 had to pull him out of the driveway this winter so he could drive home after holiday diner. but, i will give him this though, he is not the biggest motor-head in the family, and it is his first jeep. he had a 1995 Taurus, a 1996 Grand Caravan, and last had a 2007 Dodge Ram Big Horn.

The problem with that is that cost untold amounts of money to do, and in the end you're still left with a Liberty. The huge appeal of the Cherokee is that it's so cheap and easy to modify for offroad fun. You don't have to sink a mountain of cash into it to have fun (though you certainly can).
....engines I mean....

I really wish the Liberty had been as easily modified and capable offroad as the Cherokee had been, because I really do like the looks of them, especially lifted.
As an off note, who makes that rooftop tent?

I also found http://www.autohomeus.com/index.php . They're wicked expensive, but when you compare the hard-shell one with an actual camper, registration, maintenance, etc....it's pretty competitive. And no towing, which is great.
And $2700 is a F'ing bargain compared to an RV!
GO HAL WITH THE EPIC FIND!
I know....
