I think Back-n-Black might have posted pictures of this but I now have a thread on PNWJeep.com discussing this Liberty.

Idaho Liberty

Notice no front driveshaft,plus the front pinion angle is going kill u-joints fast.Right idea but poorly executed.

The gate is going to get damaged with the weight of that spare.

Hey! There are thousands of show queens out there. Why not have a KJ be a part of the waste-of-money life? :twisted:

I think it looks pretty sweet. But in all realness...its not safe and it definatly looks like it would roll very easy

Maybe he doesn't have a front driveshaft or bumper with tire carrier because he ran out of money on the project. He's got coilovers on the rear too and they don't come cheap. Once he does put a front drive shaft in, he'll have to adjust his control arms to deal with the pinion angle. If it is still a work in progress, then I say "Nice job", but if the owner thinks it's done, then I say "WTF were you thinking". Does anyone here know the guy? Maybe get him on here to discuss what's been done to the Jeep.

I'll give you that much, It's just a picture of a Jeep spotted by a PNWJeep member.

:shock: and I have heard that mine is too tall :shock: ......But seriously.....That one IS Too Tall.

I would however like to see more pics, etc. about how it was built, info on rear setup w/ coilovers, front suspension, etc.
Someone find him and send them to LOST.

that is crazy! hahaha.. and for the bank the guy has in it that could've been an absolutely awesome machine..


he never has wheeled that thing.. and probably doesnt intend to. if he went to that extreme i'm sure his jeep would have signs of wheeling.. the rear fender flares arent even scuffed up from tire stuffing. but he does have a serious dent in the gas tank skid 8) :roll:

i'd still like to see it from a front view

Lifts are cool and everything, but the lower you can keep a vehicle while maintaining the tire height you want is the way to go. That thng it tip over city.
