Jeep Liberty diesel question
I am looking at the new Jeep Liberty with the diesel. Can anyone tell me if
its a body on frame? Seems like a really good choice for lifting and making into a serious off-roader. Considering that the little 2.3 liter engine outs out 300 foot pounds of torque. |

In case he is actually real, should we gently let him know that it is just another cookie cutter unibody SUV aimed at soccer moms?

I used to own a Wrangler (square lights) and it was a great little off roader - I moved to a 4 Runner since. Where I live, you dont have too many off roading places. I want to get something new, with diesel, that I can turn into an off roader and tow. I thought the liberty would be a good choice. Don't assume I am baiting anyone for anything. Just wanted to see if the thing had a frame. If it has a frame, the possibilities are endless... especially with the engine... |

Mechanics Magazine? Troll, you and the Libby deserve each other.
No frame, it's like any other Daimler car: http://www.allpar.com/model/jeep/liberty.html http://www.allpar.com/ed/old/liberty.html http://www.detnews.com/2003/autosins...tos-319372.htm God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ "Dan J.S." wrote: > > OK -- I am going purely on the latest popular mechanics magazine that > reviewed the liberty.

I don't ask my Cherokee to do what my YJ can, but when my son borrows the YJ, I've had occasion to pull it out with the Cherokee. For Lybby options See http://jeephorizons.com/tech/rrorr.html BTW, Sorry about the fishing comment earlier, but I knew the reaction your question would get. -- jeff |
