I have a liberty limited I purchased new in 05. For the most part it is built like a tank. Everyone here says they are light, but I strongly disagree. For the wheelbase size, it is very heavy. You are correct about the full time 4x4 description. Only use the part time when off road in the mud. Never Never use part time on the highway under any circumstances for any length of time.
The worst part about a Jeep is the 4 speed transmission. To put it lightly, they are junk. The trans shop said I was one of the very few to get 150,000 miles on one. He said most are under 100,000 miles. You can search the web for all the Chrysler issues with it. Also, the universal joints go out rather often. That isn't a major cost item, but it is something that needs to be fixed. Most Jeeps have torque converter shutter. It vibrates at low rpm when in overdrive going up hill. You learn to live with it and just mash the pedal to force it to downshift.
Besides the tranny and the u-joints, they really are a solid vehicle. Only thing that stinks on a regular basis is the 18 mpg fuel mileage. They do ride on the rougher side. This is to be expected as they are trail rated with stiffer shocks. I have always driven sports cars with stiff suspension, so I never really pay attention to it. It does not ride anywhere near as smooth as all the other SUVs.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
