Transforming a Liberty...

[LilKJ]

Well I know I am pretty new here but I thought I'd share my transformation thus far in my attempt to make my Liberty in to a stout expedition vehicle. It spends a lot of time in the desert so it will end up with certain prerunner traits (not that that's a bad thing)

So here's what we started with: 2006 Turbo Diesel Jeep Liberty 4x4

Fresh off the floor:

First was to fab up a rack to hold a second spare:

Then a roof rack was built to hold the bikes and whatever else I need:

Full armor and tow hooks were added:

Extra lighting was needed and a guard was made for the new lights:

Next was a big one chop up the front end, relocate turn signals, and fab up flat fenders:

Navigation and electric fan cutoff added:

Finally lifted!!



Some 32" BFG AT's will be on in the next couple days... looking forward to it.

I forgot to add the best part!!

Looks great! Which lift did you use?

[LilKJ]

It's a Daystar lift with Rancho Shocks. As soon as I finish some other things and dig up some money out of the back yard it'll get changed out with OME stuff.

Nice!

It's about time we have a CRD Liberty build thread here.
