My new cherokee is here. Talk about a loaded down Jeep Liberty.

I took a u-haul dolley behind the Libby to pick this up. When I left my house I had my dog, my buddy, a ALL CAST IRON trans and tcase (np435/205 combo) a 33" tire, 4 10" wide wheels and an air tank to air the tires up on the xj with.

I drove 3 hours like that.

Got to the Sear's resi, and loaded the xj up. After getting the title taken care off I took off to Cleveland. It took approx 1hr to get there.

I stopped and purchased a Liberty ift kit and tossed it the xj. I then met 86ford where he took the trans/tcase combo, and swapped me a set of wheels for the wheels I had, and also sent me with another 5 tires and wheels. we piled it all into the XJ.

I left Cleveland drove another 1.5hr and picked up a FSJ dana 44 and put it inside the xj. I hit i-77 from there and set the cruise control to 75mph.

Liberty handled it really well and the hydro brakes on the dolley helped slowing it down really well.
It was a right ride sitting on the bump stops though

Got any pics of it all hooked up? Thats a pretty big load! Stock cherokee weighs around 3500lbs but idk how much all that stuff you had in it added.

Going to make a project Jeep out of it? I would love to do that with a 5.9zj someday..

You have me confused. You said a Cherokee but you are calling it a Liberty. You show pictures of a Cherokee.

Not the same vehicle.

Exactly, which is why I asked if he had any pics of the liberty hooked up.

I wished I'd have seen it going down the road, Donnie.

Not as bad as you may think, the liberty had no issues stopping and going aside from a drive line vibe due to the rear squat.

It needs a SYE and cv shaft anyways...

I don't understand the question? I mean, obviously he made it home.
