I've decided that its time to buy a 4X4 SUV and for what ever reason it appears the Liberty might be the way I go. Is there anything to be aware of (or scared of) on them? I like the fact that they have a tradition 4X4 set up (2WD Hi, 4WD Hi, and 4WD Lo).
Is it just me or do they appear to be more resistant to rust - even the older ones with trashed interiors have pretty decent bodies with out much paint damage.
I've seen a couple that have 2WD high, 4WD Part time, 4WD Full time and 4WD Lo. If I understand it correctly 4WD "full time" is set up for driving all the time in 4WD - but after reading (if I understand it correctly) it sounds like a gimmick that is worse than a regular 2WD (front or rear). The way I read it "Full Time" turns the transfer case into an open differential - sending power to either front or back or possibly both if perfectly balanced. The issue is that with most open differentials power goes to the wheels with the least resistance. So if you have it in 4WD "full time" it would seem the tire (or tires if it has locking axles) that will spin the easiest will be the ones getting all the power - to me that is hardly "4 wheel drive" if you could be down to one tire spinning on a 4X4 set up and it will be the tire with the least traction.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
