That'll do Jeep

I've always thought the Liberty got more hate than it should, and its certainly more of a Jeep than anything they make now days (besides the wrangler). This Jeep was bought new and has been in my family since. Only I have serviced the Jeep right down to the first engine oil change. No one else, besides a useless recall, has worked on this Jeep. If I knew what I knew now, I wouldn't have let the dealer work on it at all since they broke a bunch of tabs on the interior gate cover.

Anyway, just wanted to say this little Jeep has never let me down. I just pulled a 3,000lb camper (loaded) 5hrs to the Smokies without a single hiccup. I think this is the fifth time making this trip and I'm not sure how many more times, if any, this Jeep will make that trip since its just getting old. I do keep a set of Mopar sensors (cam/crank/tps), a Mopar coil, and a Mopar fuel pump with me, but I certainly don't want to try to change a fuel pump on the side of the interstate... The Jeep turned over 123,000 miles on this trip and does a lot of sitting now a days.

Just paid the yearly registration today... $43...

What ****** do you have? How is your hitch connected to the trailer? Does it have an extender or does the trailer tongue tuck underneath the spare tire for easy fit?

I have a 2003 with 114000 miles in excellent condition with the 45RFE ******. I got it used in Nov 2020 with 94000 miles on it with absolutely nothing majorly wrong. I ave. about 5000 hwy miles per year.

One thing I would like to do is put a spare fuel can on the spare tire bracket and put the spare tire on the roof. Then use the tow point for extra gear or tow a small trailer like you have shown. Have you ever put a gas can on your spare tire bracket?

You can Open a port for the fuel pump assembly. You only need to lay down one side, insert a cardboard between tank and the floor and then cut carefully along the mark below the carpet until you see the cardboard.

Ah! Okay! I have a 2003 Limited and the hole to hole center is about 7" and the ball has a 2" drop. I did not know there was a recall at some point. I can only assume this one may have been ordered or the previous owner may have opted for the shorter hitch and drop. Thx for the info.
