We took our bone stock 2005 Jeep Liberty with 220,000 miles in the back way to Desert Bar in Parker Arizona. At the gatekeeper we were being laughed at, told it was a stupid idea and I'm pretty sure bets were being made. Haha. With two open diffs it was definitely a challenge. Even along the trail people in true rock crawlers were telling us not to attempt any further. Long story short, with a good spotter, we saw most of the naysayers at the bar while we got something to eat. No damage done and a lot of respect from those in purpose built machines.

Yeah, it's crazy just how capable they are in stock form. If you wanted to do a cheap SAS, you could probably grab the D30 from a ZJ Grand Cherokee and have a good start as long as you don't go crazy with the tires. The Liberty already has coils. You could even build a super 30 if you felt like lifting it further.

It's shorter than the XJ and taller. Was advertised as having the same cargo space in back but got it from vertical space thus the higher center of gravity. Never liked 'em because of that. Chrysler never should have nixed the XJ platform rather it should have gotten a better V6 as AMC intended back in '84, quadra coil suspension with its own Rubicon configuration (D44 front and rear), and some H3 styling cues. That's what it should have looked like but Hummer beat 'em to it. The XJ is dead. Long live the XJ!
