I know I am new posting to the board but have been checking it almost daily since I considered bying a Liberty.
What do you guys think of these mods. I will be ordering the stuff as soon as my money from being deployed to Iraq comes in.
Frankenlift.
Cragar Chrome Soft 8's
Nerf Bars (for the wife)
Jeep OEM Style Grill Guard
Ahh, the irony of coming back from war and buying your Liberty
Congrats on your future jeep purchase!
Frankenlift: Highly recommended on here, ++
Cragar Wheels:: They seem good and are known to fit. What tires + size are you getting?
Nerf Bars: They will suffer rock rash first. I suggest getting boulder bars and mounting them so that they stick out a little. I'll act like a step still, but be less likely to be torn apart on rocks.
Grill Guard:: They do look cool, but serve little purpose. They don't guard your grill from anything and don't really do all that good a job at giving you places to mount lights. To add a grill guard, you lose your tow hooks, which makes you harder to recover when you get stuck. You can try to recover by attaching hooks to the grill guard, but it will act as a lever and bend before moving the jeep (especially if you just get a mopar one, they say "for aesthetic purposes only" right on them).
Something to be wary of - My brother just came back from Iraq and told stories of all the guys he was with being duped into buying cars while they were in iraq. They gave them deals and said they'd have the cars waiting for them back in the US. Well, they came back to the US for another year, and over that year where the army was paying them less (since they weren't getting the iraq bonus anymore) and they had more expenses, he said he saw a LOT of soldiers had their vehicles reposessed because they couldn't afford to pay for them. These could very well have just been some dumb soldiers who can't manage their money, but I would advise against jumping into a car loan assuming that the war income is stable or that your budget will look the same. Using the bonuses to buy jeep toys like tires and a lift is always a good idea though
