Since the 04 Kilimanjaro Edition has covered over 220,000 miles, been lifted all but 20,000 of those. Its had 4 different lifts, tested a lot of different things , it was time to slow it down for a bit and redo it.
SO, picked up an 81,000 mile one owner 2003 a couple of months back
started with this
Image
Image
Image
added leather seats, trimmed the bumper some, installed the Matrix Brush Guard that was in the basement, and some other goodies
Image
Image
Then had to do something with the suspension, about 1.5 inches below stock height
so enter jeepinbyals 2.5 inch Total Control lift with fully adjustable shocks front and rear
Image
so with the Matrix brush guard it sat like this
Image
butnow..........
Image
front is low in this picture, was still adjusting height

I'm looking forward to following your build thread, Tom. It's already shaping up to be a good looking lifted Liberty. Such a clean Jeep and low miles for an 03-- a great find! Are you thinking of running the Matrix permanently or is it there temporarily until a steel bumper shows up?

THANKS !!
Well regarding the front bumper , I had drawn up some modifications to it when I had it on the 04. So I think I may want to go a bit further with them and see how it turns out before moving on to a full bumper . Not sure yet. You know so many things I wanted to try on the 04 but had taken it a bit beyond where this one is currently, so relooking at all of my old ideas etc

Added some cheap mall crawling tires, ( have another set of Goodyear MTRs for off road now )
But with this JBA Total Control lift in place the ride on this one is so good.
Have the shocks all dialed in now the way I like them. Speed bumps are a thing of the past, cruise right on over them LOL
But 265-70-16s on Moabs , good enough for now
Little more muddification to the front bumper and then almost done with it, rear is getting one of my bumpers

looks great, Tom!

you're the reason I ended up going with the JBA lift/components that I did on my Liberty. thanks for the guidance you gave me on the set-up.

even though I own a new wrangler now (willys wheeler unlimited) I still spend seat time in my Liberty! over 205,000 miles and counting!
