Just a quick search and I found used transmission control modules for like $200

[@jminaya90]

@@toyota420xpthey already finished this serie… they don’t upload the videos right away after they recorded the series… maybe they get rid of all of those jeeps

That liberty has the same recall as the pinto! The tanks in the crumple zone. As a 02 sport owner I can vouch for the RWD capabilities

I love how TFL can give us very serious car reviews and testing but also create these very entertaining lighthearted videos.

The side mirror us chrome because they probably started chrome and one got busted off so they went with a cheaper replacement

They're the poor man's Top Gear.

[@Frozeinlife]

@@mitchcash760I like them more than top gear too has to many people I only like some of them

[@anthonycioffi0331]

The whole reason I started watching TFL was because of the Jeep content. Specifically, the Cheap Jeep challenges/builds.

[@LTHero.]

This is the content I love . Watching vehicles any person can obtain and seeing the upgrades and having fun for cheap

[@censored4christ162]

3k is a deal you could really get a cheap little beater of the offroading o. That kinda budget. I knew a guy that took old jeep cherokees and ge woukd offroad them aorund town and when rhey busted he turned it into a parts car and bought another running one cheap that was half busted and hed combine the two and go offroading again.

[@backwoodstherapy]

Glad to see the cheap jeep series back. Not everyone can drop $55-70k on a Rubicon and then another $20k modifying it. Sometimes you gotta buy what you can afford, which may be a $3300 Liberty. And any truck with 4lo with a good set of tires will take you further than you think.

[@jasonperry7970]

1st generation Xterras are also an off road bargain. A timing belt and reg maintenance will make them run forever.

[@trevorD1156]

Of all the 4x4's you could potentially buy the Liberty would be very very low on the list, I'd rather have a geo tracker or bronco 2. It might be the worst actual 4x4 with a low range box ever made.

[@scrambledeggsalad]

Am I the only one that thinks 3k + for a 200k mile kj liberty is too much, especially from an auction?

[@mbj8782]

$3000 max

[@Agent.K.]

Agreed

[@malcolmn.5222]

Depends on condition and maintenance. Miles mean nothing.

[@scrambledeggsalad]

@malcolmn.5222 I've never been afraid of high miles..I have had many vehicles with 200k miles or more. But regardless, a KJ from the auction with that many miles seems too high at 3k. If it was private party, then sure but not from auction.

[@LukeEdward]

Nope. I’m about to sell my 168,000, 2005 Liberty that I just went through and fixed everything and runs perfect for $2000.

[@djp1234]

I love these Top Gear style episodes. Buy a bunch of old used cars and then take them on some adventure in the middle of nowhere.

[@poweredbyrice5708]

Too bad they have the personality of cardboard

[@antonionzimande3646]

10:18 Andre is straight savage!!

[@larsandroid]

This is such an awesome series. I'd be stoked to see this with 3 cheap german off roaders (ML, Touareg, Cayenne etc.) or 3 cheap japanese off roaders too! I know the Touareg has been done to death on this channel but I just can't get enough of 'em! Maybe the cheapest version of each would be interesting (not a nicely sorted one like last time).

[@MDchaz]

Cheap Jeep Challenge is back 👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪👍

[@slandon1977]

I had a 2002 Jeep liberty that had the full AND part time transfer case. I loved that thing. Drove it 240k miles before a slipped timing chain took it out. I completely own up to that because it was giving me warning signs long before It failed, and stopped all maintanance besides brakes and oil after 160k. Chicago rust had already taken its toll by that point and it was essentially valueless because of it. Otherwise, it was a great vehicle for my needs.

[@ersrvd]

My father's Jeep Liberty had the same P0750 problem. Under hard acceleration it shifted into second gear and stayed there. The walk around I used was to stop the car, turn it off and then start the engine again. That solved the problem temporarily.

[@Wearyman]

When you guys said you bought Jeeps at auction I half was hoping one of you had bought my old Liberty I turned in last year. it had a lift, larger mud tires and a steel replacement bumper. it was great off road, but getting rusty, so I got me a new Nissan Frontier, which I love. I have to admit though, I miss old Libby.

[@ShaunsJeep]

Nathan and Andre are so funny cracking jokes at each other. I really enjoy these budget series.

[@silver2756]

My favorite content from y'all. Always enjoyed the bickering and jealousy amongst each other.

[@dommm111]

I saw that Liberty MONTHS AGO. How old is this video?

[@garysarratt1]

When I first saw Roman wearing a coat, I knew we were going back.

[@motorworks8291]

You got that right, Jen Psaki was still the whitehouse spokeswoman when they bought that Liberty

[@basketwarrior]

For all wondering for the 3rd jeep. It is a CJ5. They left the clue in the description with the tires links.

[@upscaleshack]

Well that and they did a feature video on it about 2 months ago and said it was for their upcoming cheap Jeep challenge. So yeah.

[@takiman1]

Love these type of series. And you should get an older Land Rover Range Rover L322 and do it up as a project car.

[@ryzen397]

ah sweet cliffhanger 1.0 again! Glad to see you bringing back the regular hills and not just on the ranch!

[@NickTarterOKC]

Truthfully, the 3.7 is a pretty good engine if it's well maintained and you don't overheat it. I have owned several and they have been really reliable for me.

[@Tymac12]

Did you know the liberty was originally supposed to be a variant of the cherokee! They changed it to liberty quickly before release in honor of the events 9-11 but in some countries you can still find them badged as a cherokee

[@wafive]

They were sold in Australia as a Cherokee. "Liberty" could not be used by Jeep in Australia, as the name was already in use by Subaru. The car known as the "Legacy" in the rest of the world, was renamed "Liberty here, as "Legacy" is the name of a charitable organisation that takes car of KIA Soldiers families. If I recall, they objected to a Japanese car maker sharing the name.

[@jeepinbanditrider]

It was sold everywhere else other than the US as the Cherokee. It wasnt meant as a "variant" It was straight up meant to replace the XJ.

[@garysarratt1]

@@wafive Does Japan build jeeps now?

[@rockymountboy]

Not a "variant" so much as the replacement for the XJ. But XJ sales were too strong in the US, so they sold it as a different vehicle. Elsewhere, it did take over as the new model Cherokee.

[@Showe2625]

I have an 07 Jeep Liberty. Threw a locked rear differential, small lift, and 31s on it. Got some videos on my channel of me beating on it. Still going strong after 200k+ miles

[@jamescrawford9643]

I just bought an 07 Liberty with only 110k on it and the reason for buying. Had an 04 but it was stolen. I've replaced struts and shocks and it's a beauty! It's had it's frame already replaced. I'm up north and rust is the monster to be dealt with here. I winter undercoated it and hoping for good results. I'll be doing this yearly. I've got a total of 6k into it and happy! Cheers!

[@Showe2625]

@ I love to hear it!! I sold mine last year and can’t wait to get another 4x4

[@H8onG]

Good job Andre. I had a 08 Durango with that 3.7 V6 and had zero issues with it and got up to 307k miles before hurricane Harvey wiped it out. Never any major issues but the trans did start to jerk from first to second. It didn’t slip at all just a random jerk from time to time. I would it another one if a deal came along.

[@IndefiniteGentlemen]

great video. a liberty is absolutely a real jeep, just without all the extra toys built in. you'll have to actually drive them. Please, please do more than just take them on slickrock(i.e. Hells revenge), though. it would be great to see them actually go up some non-slick-rocks. the 3-D trail is very filmable and has several super-cool climbs that would look great on a video.

[@xvrhernandez349]

I love that they’re liberty’s of both generations. I feel like I always see stuff for the first but not really the second. Can’t wait for more!

[@BYLRPhil]

Love these series, well done guys!

[@craigtupper103]

Hey guys! You likely had a dipstick with you! Both generations of liberty use the same transmission, but chrysler deleted the dipstick on the KK and came up with an overly complex check procedure. Luckily If you use the kj dipstick and drop it in until it touches the pan at operating temperature, the measurements are the same as the dumb chrysler chart and fancy dipstick!

[@billseiler4952]

Tommy always picks a wrangler…..no cliffhanger

[@xXDarthBagginsXx]

good to hear I'm not the only one with a Jeep and the solenoid issue ('01 WJ 4.0L w/ 42RE) - not complaining since we picked it up for $1500 6yrs ago and it's still chugging along as a good daily driver and the weekend trail warrior is my '02 4Runner (has the factory e-locker). Definitely plan on watching this series and glad it popped up in my recommended feed.

[@James.5550]

I've been looking forward to this series ever since you guys bought that CJ. Great Video, can't wait for the next one.

[@dc10austria]

André you are my hero. I had so much fun with my 2007 Liberty or Cherokee here in Austria.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Wondering if you could take Nathan's soft top off and well sheet metal over that and seam seal it...

[@froglaps40]

I had a dodge intrepid that wouldn't shift up on the highway due to the controller... when your on the highway, try shifting it into neutral then back into drive... it may catch the right gear.. mine did

[@USA__WILL]

Definitely between these 2 the KJ is better in my opinion. Love these types of series so looking forward to the rest of them!

[@ffl2609]

Outstanding! The kind of summer TFL content we love. Can't wait for Tommy's cliffhanger. Wrangler would be too obvious, so expecting a curveball.

“I do have TPMS.” “What is that a disease of some sort.” 😂

I really loved my Liberty (KJ). So much better built and more reliable than the Cherokee (KL) that I replaced it with.

[@Rcalderon518]

My first vehicle was an 07 KJ trail rated. I loved it

[@simsalb]

1st comment! Jeep time. Hilarious, dynamic guys. Alex got the better deal hands down, but it was fun watching Nathan squirm and those mismatched mirrors and the leaky roof..... just perfect! 😂

I love these type of events. Can’t wait to see some wheeling and Nathan doing Nathan things

[@dsm810]

Thanks guys! I'm building a cheap jeep now to see how much $$$ it takes to make it cool. Look forward to see what Tommy buys and how it all works out! Love it!

[@jcollins1305]

Always a fun series, looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes!

[@sixpest]

paid 19k for a 2012 jk. SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I was at 4k rpm and broke down about a quarter from my home. Luckly I bought coverage for it and its getting fixed. If you are buying a jeep expect the transmission to be the weak link.

[@Therearethosewhocallmetim78]

These cheap car challenges are the best!

[@Austinandjules]

Andre has this one in the bag. Nathan messed up big time getting a kk🤦🏻‍♂️.

[@wilmarbarrick3194]

Gee, more Jeep content from TFL. Who would've guessed? Not one but three...again. You guys really have the creative juices flowing over there. Best thing about this episode was Nathan's bust on Philly.

[@esljr98]

i have a jet with the regular sunroof due to knowing the slider leaks i had the kj too too many engine problems but i still loved it

[@Will-uq9ho]

I love these budget cars series. Keep the good work guys!

[@MrBlackraven2488]

M glad y’all are doing this I love this type of show.

[@mirthenary]

My parents' 2006 PT Cruiser has the exact same key as Nathan's Liberty

[@ashlaysaywhat]

My husband used to have an early 2000s Jeep Liberty Renegade with the stock light bar like Andre’s. I knew it was going to be a f***ing problem when I first saw it. The last straw was when the drive shaft broke… Thank God for a BFE roundabout and a huge snow pile 😅

[@kpjetsfishing]

Had a silver jet edition.....loved the car but my motor was dog crap and the transmission. But when it was working and rolling...it was a sweet rig.

[@skwashua]

Andre should do a solid axle swap! Still love the first gen liberty

[@gregss.771]

The banter in this was hilarious....what a funny episode.

[@NickTarterOKC]

KJ > KK. With a KJ you get a NP242 transfer case and a Chrysler 8.25 rear end just like a late model XJ. With a KK you get... a Dodge Nitro with a Jeep badge.

[@jlautomotive6349]

Absolutely LOVE these series!!! Can’t wait to watch them all and always enjoy how much fun you guys have on these adventures!! Keep up the incredible work 👍

[@derek6947]

Awesome! A new cheap Jeep series!

[@robertwatts9800]

Does the patriot have the cvt transmission? If it does then there usually pretty costly to fix

[@ScottOwens28]

Y'all have got to make more of these comedy videos... Nathan's Jet Black Liberty segment was classic! 😁😂👏👌💯

Love the Show Team TFL 👏👏👏.. Have a beautiful Sunday everyone ✌️

[@mohammadbinbishr5167]

I miss my 2003 jeep KJ which was manual transmission

[@live4mac]

For the price you paid for that leaking KK with a broken transmission you could have bought a Grand Cherokee WK 4WD 5.7L Hemi with the offroad skid plate package and eLSDs front and rear. It only takes a mild lift and some larger tires to make them into a very capable off roader with V8 power.

[@bullinahanky]

I’m expecting to see Matt’s Offroad halfway through the video, “so we got a call”

[@clint983]

Have the old xj banana rescue them both.

[@patrickirish8110]

These goofy series are always entertaining. Looking forward to more trash talking, car troubles, scrapes 'n bumps, and some good-natured tomfoolery.

[@bruceklassen8261]

Great buys

[@jimmybillyjr]

I’ve been waiting awhile for a series like this again.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

Between the two, I'd pick the KJ. I've always thought that generation looked better, and overall, this KJ is in better condition than the KK, and it was half the price.

[@davidnunes3738]

Nathan should put a pop top camper on his Jeep and make a glamper overland rig. I think it would be awesome and solve the roof issues.

[@explore_off_road]

This was great. I think this is going to be a fun series.

[@lonerider5315]

What makes these videos great, is doing everything wrong, well done Nathan!

[@jamesbeaman6337]

Agreed, but you know he’s just trolling us, the viewers and commenters. Because you know Nathan would know not to check the oil with the engine running.

[@USA__WILL]

My brother bought a 2006 jeep liberty, blew 3 engines while under warranty. Taken care of by dealership all the time. He loved it until the 4th engine

[@jamieshields9521]

Great start fellas, now let’s see what Tommy got LOL. If one of Jeeps break down you have ride push home, I am sure TFL bike fellas have bike for you to ride.
