If you were going to pick a model year liberty to use as an infrequent spare car and plowing rig...
what year would you pick?
would you look for one with the NP242 t-case?
I'm finding a couple in the $1000 range, across the 02-07 model years...
I probably would stay with '05 older... then you skip a bunch of electronics. I wouldn't be fussy about the t-case for a spare vehicle. Use the 242 in your regular driver.
