Broken Jeep

[Eric M.]

I've been seeing and hearing a lot of bad things about the Jeep Liberty. I guess they just aren't made for offroad travel anymore.

Here's a little clip of a Liberty wheeling ... or breaking .... it really didn't make it very far.

It looked to me like he bottomed out and broke the T-case when his front wheels crested the hill. They sure are a lousy replacement for the cherokee. My ex-girlfriend got one after her Ford Bronco got wrecked (what a waste). Liberty's fall into the cute-ute category, its an oversized station wagon.

Come to think of Chevy made station wagon's with big blocks in them back in the day

Not the Jeeps fault. High center any Cheby truck on an np208/241 with that kind of force and you'll get the same result. No they are not rock buggies, but in their own environment with a good driver, you could have fun in a KJ>

Looks like I would have made that hill in 2wd.


Oh, and I have a 208 t-case with a skid, and I have high-centered it many times pretty hard on it on pure rocks, and have never had that happen. Looks like just small/weak components to me....
