Jeep Liberty on the Moab Rim trail

My Jeep Liberty going up one section of the "Z-Turn" (NO lockers) in Moab, Utah.. This was in Sept 2002, So I was probably the first to ever take a Jeep Liberty up this trail.. I also took it on Hell's Revenge, Poison Spider Mesa, Cliffhanger, Golden Spike, Elephant Hill, Fins and Things, Metal Masher, Steel Bender, and my favorite, Hole in the Rock, where I led 5 other Jeeps with my Liberty..

NO lockers.! Just a lift kit and bigger tires, skid plates and rock rails..

[@drillsergeant623]

Nice 👍🏼

[@deserthorizons]

Thanks 👍,, it was a lot of Fun too..

[@JasnoGT]

Im a Grand Cherokee guy. But i've heard a lot of good things about the Liberty. This looks good! It looks pretty stock too. Good driver.

[@kugellagers]

Nice wheeling vids Rob, I'm surprised I never had looked at them as of yet. Very good climb. I endeavor to have those skills in my KJ with the ARBs on. LOST I am.

[@sf18c]

Hiya, it's ASSA from the other place. Cool videos.. looks like fun!

[@SgtoSousuke]

Yes u can. Maybe not like in this vid, but still do some interesting shit. I've got a '04 4x2 and have gone throw a river, uphill in da sierra, and some other things. However, i strongly recomend that before you fo O-roadin, you talk to experienced ppl so they can teach you as much as possible so you dont get stuck. Have fun!!

[@deserthorizons]

Yup, handle is "deserthorizons".. bought the KJ in May 2001..

[@maniacalmango]

Alot of people underestimate libbys when they are fairly decent when compared to other Jeeps from the factory. Put a base 4x4 liberty up against your base wrangler. For what the wrangler has in clearance the Liberty makes up in swb.

Finally, a good Jeep Liberty video on KZbin. You must be ARB locked. Most of the video's on Libertys are pathetic. I bought my wife one of these Jeeps, just ordered a OME lift for it. I subscribed to your channel, I haven't looked but hope your still putting out video's.

[@deserthorizons]

@daddyrat ....Nope.. No Lockers of any kind.. It only has a limited slip, but if you notice, I didn't get the tires spinning enough for that to kick in..

[@maniacalmango]

Which makes it more maneuverable and sure footed. Although the wrangler may outperform the liberty its not gonna be by much. I've owned any style of off road vehicle you can think of and my preference will be different then the next guy but I'd take a Liberty just for the challenge over a wrangler or xj.

[@djrethoret]

nice driving sir. never seen a kj wheeled like that

[@ModelA]

WOW!! Excellent job!! I am putting Detroit Locker in mine because I can't climb the hill at my house. Ford Ranger and Chevy Duramax climb it, but little KJ can't. Bummer... You must be a better KJ driver than me... Do you offer classes?

[@jackirons12]

I just bought a Liberty and was wondering what brand lift and how many inches you have and also what size tires? Thanks

[@GEREEF]

Same color like mine!!

[@ModelA]

Awesome job!! That rig has lockers in it, right? Or is it stock??

[@deserthorizons]

It was Rocky Road Outfitters Combo lift of 2.25" and it allowed me to run with 265/75/16's (or 32"x10.50) BFG Mud Terrains.. They lowered the Liberty from the factory in April 2002, so that lift will not give as much room for the newer Liberty..

[@allanro28]

awesome...thanks for the vid...i subscribed to you...thanks

[@dukviper90]

wow i didn't think the liberty was capable of doing that. maybe its short wheelbase helped it

[@deserthorizons]

Actually I organized the first L.O.S.T. Moab get-together in 2003..

[@deserthorizons]

practice, practice, practice.. (I learned how to wheel in a Suzuki Samurai..)

[@deserthorizons]

Automatic.. I used to think a stick was the only way to wheel.. Until I got this ..

[@NYRIKAN]

ITS NOT THE JEEP ITS THE DRIVER....PROOF

[@deserthorizons]

A driver is only as good as the equipment they bring.. Jeep Liberty is very good equipment.! (with a few minor modifications.) ~2 1/2" lift kit, larger tires, skid plates, and rock rails is all it took..

[@directorjustin]

liberty's are smaller and easier to manuever.
