It could, now or later. The burp back affected Liberty's were the 2005-07 KJ's and 08-09 KK's. Not to mention quit a few other Chrysler/Jeep models.
Another good reason why I like the 02-04 KJ's better.
$5800 huh? Wow.. then maybe if I drive back to Ohio ever again, my Jeep will be worth more than I thought. I figured up around here in Michigan, a decent, early-mid model year Liberty 4wd would only be good for about $4500-4800, Renegades not much more.
If I had the option, I don't know if I'd want a renegade edition or not.. kinda do for some of the upgrades, but then again, I see a lot of them. Lots of the high tier trims, and lots of base model Liberty's around me.
