I have listened of several people who say that Liberty uniframe is very delicate for serious Off Road in strong lands, inclusively commentaries where they say that if the car is of side and it opens a door, after that the door cannot be closed or glasses that are brocken by te car.

I presiate commentaries

I have never heard that...quite the opposite. The Liberty uniframe is very strong (much more rigid than even the old XJ uniframe). Not sure where you heard this?.?

Principaly I hear this about the XJ, the people that say that compare the uniframe rigidity with a Toyota Land Cruiser or other cars that have a solid frame.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying in the second part. Do you mean that if the car is on its side you cannot open the door? breaking glass and doors are something that happens with any car that is on its side.

The frame is quite ridged. The front doors still open with easy even with sitting on just two wheels across from each other. One of the back doors becomes a little difficult to open, but no big deal it still opens and closes. Plus all this is only when you are teetering on just two cross wheels. For example, left side front and ride side rear. Never heard of windows breaking, even on XJs which are suppose definitely twist and turn a little. You would need to twist the body ALOT before the windows would even start to break. Only think that will break windows on the trail would be rocks or tree branches.

Go get it man!! I can personally vouch for the strength of the frame on my Libby. This weekend the trail I ran had obstacles with holes specifically dug to get you teetering on 2 wheels (I'll get some pics up tomorrow when I get them back). Then the 4x4 veterans, which I am not, would come up and lift you to really get you rocking. I almost pooped myself the first time they did it to me.

ENJOY YOUR LIBBY!!!! :D

Thats the lift I have. The shocks are awsome I might add, not as good as the stock ones for towing though.

What size of tires do you have?

What model of springs and shocks do you have front and rear in the OME?
