Only suggestion I have is to put a turbo diesel engine in it and it'll not only look amazing but you'll be hooked on the torque.

What are you going to use it for? Off road or 100% street?

You're in highschool and you own a 2012 Jeep liberty?

Thought I was lucky to have a $3,000 beater toyota pickup in highschool. :ROTFL:

A small lift and tires do a lot. If you have a few extra bucks, rims can really change the look as well....

Or you can be more extreme and DIGGERIZE your whole Jeep :twisted:

Diggerizing it would also look awesome. That's in my Jeeps future :rockon: .
Tinted or blacked out around the light?
Is it 4x4, and are you going for the Off road look with out function? Is increased ride quality important?
I like the Dura-tracs. They're are a good, aggressive looking tire, and are not too loud on the road. With a small lift you can fit the 245/75R16 which look good.
If its 4X2 then I imagine that you would probably be able to lift it higher than any of us could because you wouldn't have to worry about CV joints.

450 when you were 16 and 3k when i was 16 were probably about the same value. :-)r
I was 16 in 1998.

Why is it I remember buying a lot of cheap cars when I was a kid? Let's see...
1972 Mercury Comet... $300 (gift from Mom and Dad) 1984
1973 Mercury Capri... $100 (fun little car that ran and needed some TLC) 1985
1974 Mercury Capri... $150 (parts car and I stripped the heck out of it to put in the one that ran) 1985
1971 Chevy Nova... $200 (350ci and had a lot of fun with it) 1988
1978 Dodge Magnum... $500 (318ci leather, loaded and everything worked) 1989
1983 Nissan 280zx... $300 (I towed it and bought it when the kid that owned it couldn't pay the tow and storage bill) 1992
1990 Ford F-150... $500 (junk pick up that ran well, looked like crap) 1999

Then I started buying new and never saw a cheap vehicle again. :(

I remember buying 55-56-57 Chevys for 300-400
62 Chevy 2 door Impalas for 100-150 bucks

I like cheap vehicles, last one was an 80 Olds Omega bought for 40 bucks, drove it on parts store runs etc for a couple of years, sold it for 250 :ROTFL:

Buying new vehicles :roll: :roll:
Lat one was a 2004 Jeep Liberty , oh wait still have it :-)r
