The guy with a stock, low-mile '02 KJ on stock rubber with zero in modifications on stock rubber will be more respected if he wheels it than the guy with the $1000 worth of wheels, $2000+ in suspension work, $2000 in "wheeling accessories" (bumper, useless-arse roof rack and lights and whatever) on his '07

That's me except it's an 03.

I did however manage to tint out the windows, drop in vent visors and put in a decent stereo. still waiting on the funds for alift and a bumper set up.

I say a Jeep is a Jeep. I got my 03 libby 5 years ago & a couple of my friends called it a Geo/Chevy Tracker, I always invited them to bring their trucks offtroading but always got excuses of why they could not go. Me all I have so far is hooks, tires, and more confidence than I should have but I still have fun. I dont have aloy of access to many places but I got a map & I look. Here in western PA you see 4X4's of all shapes & sizes . For instance as mentioned a few posts up, you get the ones that may be beat up & not the easy on the eyes but they still wheel. Then you have the garage queens who feel they need thru drive thru a JC Whitney calalogue and hit every page to legitimize their rigs. Funny they are always clean, and the closest thing to offroading they get is the mud puddle next to the offramp at the mall.( nice job buddie were you able to handle that in 2wd or you need 4Lo?) I say dirtier is funner...wait sounds like this girl I took the the prom, but thats a different story for a different post. Final thought we chose Libertys, they are Jeeps and good Jeeps at that. We all made our choice, so dance(wheel) with what you took to the dance.

Have a fun & safe Labor Day Weekend.

A Liberty is just as good as the other jeeps, I recently joined a jeep club and they have told me that they have been impressed by past Liberties

Well I got to say. I belong to NEJ (NEW ENGLAND JEEPZ) and I own a 83' Jeep CJ7 lifted 7 1/2" with all the stainless you can buy for a CJ (except the front grill as I hate those) and I belong to the same club as Icefisher45 with his 04 KJ and I think for the most part KJ is respected as a Jeep. A Jeep is a Jeep. But more importantly a wheeler is a wheeler. I had mine show room shine for 5 years after a complete restoration and got more trash talked about my street truck than any KJ ever would. I got the comments like" We've seen it roll but can it wheel?" and " Sure is purty. Must have been waxing it while us real men were wheelin ours." hahahaha.
I say honestly, to each his own. I loved my 2 CJ's and put a lot of work into restoring them. I wanted a show truck at first. It was only this past year when the rocker panel showed some signs of rust that my wife allowed me to join a club and go wheeling. I was proud of my jeep and made it look really agressive as I wanted the " Offroad Look" without th abuse on it.
Well I am please to say I love my CJ even more now that I have seen what it can do in the woods. I used to only wave to jeeps were the tops come off. Now after seeing some cherokees and liberty's run side by side I have learned to respect anyone who isn't afraid to take it off the beaten path.

I say Jeeps are the bomb , but much respect goes to any that can climb over a stone wall or cross a river!!
