Wrangler vs Liberty

Even a 4 door is no contest. We love our Liberty, but it is no match for a Wrangler.

I just did a black diamond run with my KK Gold Mtn up in Big Bear it was lots of fun. But with a wrangler you can build build build that thing up and in so many ways. The KK is maxed out for now with the coil overs.

i drive 09 wrangler rubicon and 08 liberty, there are trails here that i would not even try to get the liberty on majority of these trails, be it mud or water ot rocks.......
fire roads only:)
there is no replacement for short wheelbase and dual axles and dual lockers and sway bar disconnect and the transfer case gear ratios that rubi has....

In rocks , my kk will outwheel any vehicle with 35'' or less tire that does not have at least 2 lockers. you can do a lot with a KK if you get the right mods but its expensive to mod a KK if you want more bang for your bucks then a wrangler will be better but an old beater like a samurai or cherokee will be even better for that and you wont cry when you scratch the paint :lol:

i second boblemoche... my XJ is like aftermarket insane... i could do a 6+ inch lift for under 1500 dollars... wranglers are good and i could have gotten a 4 door when i got my Liberty... but honestly the KK has so much more to offer for a regular DD vehicle. especially the ride... and being that a KK can almost do what a 4 door wrangler can, hell i'll take my KK. plus i love seeing hte faces of those wrangler guys... especially then they are hooked up to my snatch strap!

Well first off this this trail is rated a black diamond for its obstacles, mostly rocky. Out of 9 trucks on this run 2 had to be assisted (pulled) up this ledge. Pictures and videos allways don't show the story good. This was my second offroad trip. First was Anza and there was a few spots there that was off camber that was interesting! This run I was not scared but yes spotters were used on obstacles. (well three other jeeps with us did not need spotters) I'll just learning.....

Spotter is ALWAYS better than a pants-filling, heart sinking, *crunch*

watched a few of the videos on that youtube channel - looks like you're doing pretty good with that KK of yours.

Yeah the video of the ledge the batteries ran out before I made it up and was taken from the wrong side to show the large rocks being rolled over. The KK is doing good but the front end is too low even with the 4" JBA lift to follow the same line the wrangler go.....
