    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    tommudd, Your insight is greatly appreciated, however I was not aware of BDS ever building Liberty pickup. They had a completely custom fabbed dune buggy with a Liberty motor and sheetmetal but they never actually built a Liberty pickup, please correct me if I am wrong, I would love to see a...

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    The roof is off. Drove around the driveway a little bit, so far so good. I left the roof reinforcement just rear of the B pillar in tact, trying to keep at least a little bit of unibody structure in tact. The doors are still functional, will run the Liberty up a couple ramps tomorrow to see...

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    Gurttng/teardown is complete. Also removed approximately 319 lbs from the Liberty. Removed everything that I though was not necessary from the B-pillar back. Rear seats and carpet came out. All plastic trim came came out. With trim and wiring gone I am beginning to formulate a plan for...

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    Project update: Interior is gutted from B-pillar back. All unnecessary trim, wires, panels, insulation, seats windows and seat belts have been removed. I marked my theoretical cut lines for the pickup conversion. I was supposed to start cutting today but 22" of fresh snow got in the way and...

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    jeepop, I know what you meant by that reference. I always wanted an Amigo just couldn't find one in good enough shape. I also had a 88 Trooper 2 and know exactly how your Hombre drove.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Playing in 22" of fresh snow in my back yard. Got stuck twice and most important of all kids had a blast! This Liberty pickup project is slow going, I spend too much time playing and not enough time working on the Jeep.

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    Found a JK bumper on the side of the road the other day. What are the chances of such a fine catch. Has anyone put a stock JK bumper on a Liberty? I mocked this one up just to see how it would look, and I like it. Mounting it should be pretty straight forward also: stick a couple 1.75" square...

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    jeepop, You are so right, it does have an Amigo look, hopefully it will have a much more practical and usable bed than the Amigo.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    MarksmanAkula, I am brand new to Jeep ownership but is this a normal thing in Jeeps for batteries to discharge or die that quick? Sounds like the parasitic draw is way too high. I have a GM plow truck with a walmart battery, only use it in the winter to plow when it snows, start it once in the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Took my brand new (to me) Jeep for a drive around my yard in the snow with the kids! Got a little stuck, but had a lot of fun!

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    Doing10to20, I will be actually getting under the Liberty next week when my strut and coil spacers arrive. I'll figure out what I want to do with the front end then. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    tommudd, Read every word you wrote, three times actually and took notes. I highly value your opinion and experience greatly. You have quite a KJ resume, lol. What can you tell me about the D30a, how is it different from D30, is the pinion longer, shorter. same? Is the cut regular or reverse...

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    tommudd, Why do you say that? There are plenty 5.13 and 4.88 gears available for 8.25" and some 4.88s but I can't seem to find any 5.13s for D30a Since I have been a Jeep owner for a whopping 24 hours at this point, what can you tell me about the diffs that I do not know?

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    JeepJeepster, I was planning on keeping D30a up front and Chrysler 8.25 in the rear. 8.25 gears are dime a dozen, however D30a don't seem to find anything that's higher than 4.88. Looks like I'll have to go with 4.88s after all. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    LONGJEEPOWNER, Yeah, it's as ghetto redneck as it gets, I can't stand it. Picked up a free JK bumper on the way to pick up the KJ, wood is coming off and JK bumper is going on as soon as I have a free day. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

    Project 2004 Liberty pickup

    I finally got my first Jeep Liberty! Always wanted one and finally found the perfect one. 2004 Liberty, 4x4, automatic transmission and the coolest bumper I have ever seen. I think the craiglsist ad read something along the lines of: Liberty, runs and drives, 4x4 works great, daily driver...
