As he already said, we drove down to Creede, CO to pickup a CRD Liberty...

2005 CRD Liberty Limited
2.5" Rocky Road Lift
Magnaflow exhaust
Tinted Windows
BFG Muds

So far she ran well for the 260 miles home, i LOVE the diesel engine...so much more power than an xj and the whole car has a nicer newer feeling.

Picked it up for $9,800...which is funny because the other kid bought it april of last year from a dealer for $12,800, then put the lift, tires, exhaust etc on it :goink:

and per sam i cleaned out the MAP sensor, you would not believe the gunk on there, didnt look like it had ever been cleaned.

Good grief man, blow the dust off that engine. Shine those shoes, polish that buckle.

Ship shape her back to life.

Congrats, looks like a steal of a deal, how many miles?

Interesting choice in exhaust, but it still looks good

So I take it you are from the fort as well?

Where does that EHM go to? Is it connected to anything or does it just go straight down?

Looks nice man! Now time for mods :twisted:

First thing I'd do is replace the timing belt if it hasn't been done yet.

Well, on the trip back I got 26.48 MPG.

Nick go fill that tank up and tell me what kinda mileage you got.

I was going to comment on the exhaust, but not the good part... Why mess with the perfectly good low-profile, non-restrictive, straight out the back method? Seems counter-productive if you ask me, and a sawzall could fix that

How are you guys gonna come to my backyard and not say hi? lol I live in Colorado Springs, totally wouldda met up with you.

I believe also saw that jeep on craigslist...forever (about a couple months I think). If it's the same one, it sat around awhile on craigslist, the guy said he wanted a truck for his needs for reason for selling. Since he was trying to sell for awhile it looks like that helped in your favor to negotiate great price. It looked like a nice rig, already lifted with good tires. Congrats!

On a separate note, all of us Coloradoins and those near by need to do a trip...maybe china wall trail???

Well, call it what you want....wheeling or site seeing.

The first part of the trail a subaru could do, the second, u need to be lifted 2.5" minimum with 245's in a CRD. But more than happy to take ppl "site seeing" too. They can stay at the top for lunch while the rest of the hard core wheelers go the rest of the trail and swing back for dinner.

What size tires did you get in the deal?

UFO · **Posted:** Wed Apr 28, 2010 7:49 pm

Welcome. You got a killer deal; I still owe more than that and mine's just a Sport model.
