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.


I have yet to hear someone talk about this yet. I don't plan on lifting mine, but I'd be able to lift it higher because I have command trac?

No
You have 4 wheel drive, you're no different than anyone else with any type of 4 wheel drive
IF,....you only had a two wheel drive you could "possibly " lift it slightly more but not that much at all

If you ever find a picture of one, mainly the interior, I'd like to see it.

Down here the 4x4 KK's are the least common. They even make 4x2 wranglers. My brother-in-laws friend had one. I was looking at it trying to figure out where the 4x4 switch/lever was :dizzy: , when I was informed it was 2 wheel drive. Blasphemous I say! :evil: :furious: What is the point. I even talked to a mechanic and he told me that some one had even had one lifted with all the cool looking offroad stuff.

This conversation is getting off topic lol. This makes me feel better about my command trac. :JEEPIN: In reality I would assume the 4x2 option would make the cost a few thousand dollars cheaper.

I'm in highschool and just got a 2012 jeep liberty and its gunmetal grey. I need some ideas on how to make my jeep look amazing! Any ideas would be nice.


Depends on what you're going for, the Liberty has the versatility to be turned into a street car or an offroad machine. I made mine a bit of both, with some offroad gear, but kept stock tires (for now) and can't afford to do a suspension lift. If I've learned one thing in my short time here, though, it would be "buy once, cry once" with everything. Don't settle for the cheaper option without research because it usually isn't the best bang for the buck. ESPECIALLY with lifts, as some will tell you. If you're gonna lift it, you might as well save up for a "good" suspension lift (OME and Jeepin' By Al).

I have a mineral grey Liberty (presuming that's your color) and blacked out my trim, wheels, and grill. I think the grey looks great with both glossy and matte black, and I really like the way it's turned out.

Enjoy your Liberty bud, it's a great vehicle. Enjoy all the customization that lays before you and make sure you do whatever works best for you, not other people. Good luck! :JEEPIN:

Forgot to say congrats on owning a Jeep. I liked my Liberty at first, but let me warn you, it will grow on you and pretty soon you will enjoy it more than you ever thought. The Liberty is the last of the REAL looking SUVs out there. Now everything is a crossover.

x2

I truly dislike the majority of current SUV models and the ones that are coming out. Enjoy driving one of the best looking SUV's out there buddy!

What he said.
They're taking one of the most copied SUV's on the market and turning it into one of the very copies. :banghead:
