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 numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
