and useful Tips and Projects for your JEEP Liberty ! Now a little review for thoses that just getting to know there Libby!!
After 18 years on the market, the venerable Jeep Cherokee
was showing its age. So for 2002, the Jeep division of DaimlerChrysler created a slightly larger sport utility vehicle, called
the Liberty, as the Cherokee’s replacement. The Liberty is built at a new plant in Toledo, Ohio, and it was claimed
to be the stiffest Jeep ever — 45 percent better in bending than the Cherokee and 30 percent improved in torsional rigidity.
It was also the first Jeep with rack-and-pinion steering.
The Sport and Limited Edition are two of the available models
in the Liberty lineup. The Limited went on sale in late spring 2001 and contains a V-6 engine rather than a four-cylinder.
A Renegade model was added later, and it is also equipped with V-6 power. Hoping to attract “a whole new kind of Jeep
buyer” without losing the traditional hard-core enthusiasts, Jeep General Manager Tom Sidlik called the 2002 Liberty
“a new Jeep for a new adventure.” Developers sought a refined highway experience as well as offroad capabilities.
Exterior The Liberty’s styling evolved from two concept vehicles that were
created by the Chrysler design staff: the 1997 Dakar and the 1998 Jeepster. Pronounced trapezoidal wheel flares are integrated
into the body, and a traditional Jeep seven-slot grille is installed. Making the vehicle lower in front and higher at the
rear is intended to impart a sense of forward motion. Short front and rear overhangs allow 38-degree approach and 32-degree
departure angles for effective off-roading, which is considered to be any Jeep’s traditional skill. Product Design Director
Ralph Giles says the taillights make a statement with their bug-eyed appearance, and the headlights are elliptically shaped.
The
Liberty rides a 104.3-inch wheelbase, measures 174.7 inches long overall and stands 70.9 inches tall. The spare tire is mounted
externally on an innovative swing-out tailgate that features “flipper” glass. The tailgate’s design is said
to ease access to the cargo area. Sport models get contrasting (molded-in-color) fascias, fender flares and bodyside moldings,
while the Limited Edition has a monochromatic appearance and standard fog lamps. The tires measure 16 inches in diameter;
aluminum wheels equip the Limited Edition. Available skid plates cover the fuel tank and transfer case, and an optional Trailer-Towing
Package with a 5,000-pound capacity includes a heavy-duty cooling system.
Interior The Liberty seats five occupants. It has a 65/35-split rear seat that
can be folded down with one hand. The door panels consist of a series of arcs. Round-dialed instruments with black-on-beige
graphics sit in a cluster. The Sport model includes a cassette stereo, tachometer, and rear defroster with a wiper and washer.
The Limited Edition gets a CD player, air conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry, a cargo-area cover, and power windows
and door locks.
Driving Impressions Jeep took a big leap forward by developing the Liberty. This
SUV reaches well beyond the ever-popular but largely outmoded Cherokee in civility and refinement. Better yet, it does so
without losing any of the character and on-road and offroad proficiency of its predecessor. The Liberty is solidly constructed
and tight throughout, and it offers quick, precise steering — both on and off the road — with moderate effort
and a pleasant feel. The ride is lovely on smooth roads, and it doesn’t deteriorate much when the pavement ends or gets
rough.
The Liberty’s offroad running is utterly amazing. A trek through dusty, gnarled, gravel paths seems almost
like a Sunday drive on a paved parkway — at least when you compare it to the jostling that’s produced in plenty
of the Liberty’s competitors. Undulations are more noticeable in the backseat, but the ride is fine up front. The SUV
copes effortlessly with every obstacle, and nothing seems capable of slowing it down.
The Liberty’s performance
is more than adequate with the V-6 and automatic transmission, but some drivers may crave a bit more power. It’s plenty
energetic off-road, but on the highway, it’s not quite as powerful; this is a result of the occasional awkward downshifting
at low speeds. The firm yet comfortable seats have short bottoms, but they offer excellent support and ample headroom and
elbowroom in the front and back. In addition to emitting only modest engine noise, the Liberty is nearly devoid of 4WD drone
in Low range.
