Jeep Liberty - Freedom

It took 14 inches of lift over the stock suspension height to get the little Liberty to sit on the 35-inch tires. The 8.5x15-inch Trail Ready bead locks were outfitted with BFG 13.5x35-inch-tall Krawler T/A tires. If for some strange reason the Jeep were to get stuck, it's also equipped with a Warn winch that is nestled inside Off Road Tech's front bumper. The 35-inch spare tire hangs on a hinged bracket attached to the rear bumper, also made by Off Road Tech. A set of Warn off-road lights mounted to the new front bumper illuminates the front end for night runs.

Painting the SEMA project was left to the able hands at Custom and Classics in Pasadena, California. After smoothing the flares, handles, and mirrors, they were sprayed to color-match the OEM pigment. The stock red was tapped for the tear-apart graphics that transition the red into Dupont's Superjet Black. The rocky appearance behind the front wheelwells was airbrushed on, and coats of clear cover the whole enchilada. Some of the interior stock panels were smoothed and shot with the stock red to blend the interior with exterior color. The stock seats were reskinned in black-leather Katzkins, which suits the Superjet Black paint. Breaking up the solid black seats are dark-gray inserts fitted to the center sections of the seat and backrest.

Although the Jeep Liberty is not the most popular vehicle to build as an off-roader, this one certainly has the ability to tough the roughest trails. Its individuality personifies the idea that here in America, we can do what we want, regardless of other people's ideals.
