Finally I have been granted membership status! I have been trying to get my user name activated since the spring but only was able to get it to work when I tired for the 5th time just recently. Anyway, we bought a 2006 liberty this past summer to be a light/moderate wheeler and winter family vehicle, and hauling stuff in a smaller trailer (either gravel or the occasional elk). It's a '06 we got with 48k miles. It replaces my 1999 ranger (small lift, 31's) which I loved but needed a 4 door since we have a 2 year old and 2 dogs. Current other vehicles are a '08 Prius, and a 1969 VW bug convertible. Prior to that I had a 1999 C5 Corvette which I used to road race but traded in when our boy was on the way. Other previous vehicles of interest are 3 jeep Cherokees, a 1968 Unimog, '85 4runner, and '72 Land Cruiser (FJ55). I am a mechanical engineer so I am not intimidated by good projects.

Upgrades so far are a trailer hitch, a 3" lift, and 245 75 16 Goodyear dura tracks. I got som pics of my lift I'll upload with the full details soon. For the front I put on OME Medium rate front lift coils along with new Rancho struts a clevis lift and some washers on top plate. I also put on a set of JBA Gen 4.5 A-arms so I didn't need to wory about UBA. For the rear I put on Skyjacker springs and shocks . I made my own brake line relocation brackets and along with bump stop extensions. I also put on two old Yakima basket case racks that came off our old Cherokee that was rolled but they straightened out ok. I also working on a set of rock rails and might ad a snorkel at some point seeing as I have already had water over the hood doing Argentine pass.

I am in Parker Colorado so if anyone wants to get up in the hills for a trail ride just PM me,
Kerry

It's silver. Here are some pics of the first weekend we got it when we went to Argentine pass. I quickly realized I needed a lift a bigger tires but real damage.

Image

Here is a lifted disco crossing the stream below argentine pass right after we had water over the hood.

Image

Image

And here is the rear shelf I put into the rear cargo area which I have found to be the most useful mod so far.

Image

It's great becasue the the dogs can sit ontop and still have room for plenty of gear underneath and take it out when I don't want it.

I have some more pics somewhere else that I will get around to posting.
