    We took our bone stock 2005 Jeep Liberty with 220,000 miles in the back way to Desert Bar in Parker Arizona. At the gatekeeper we were being laughed at, told it was a stupid idea and I'm pretty sure bets were being made. Haha. With two open diffs it was definitely a challenge. Even along the trail people in true rock crawlers were telling us not to attempt any further. Long story short, with a good spotter, we saw most of the naysayers at the bar while we got something to eat. No damage done and a lot of respect from those in purpose built machines. I could only image the places we would go if we did some modifications

      a couple of years ago I was going on Jeep Badge of Honor trails in a stock 96 Geo Tracker with a set of AT's before I got in too far and off the actual trail and called for help... the recovery guy said the same thing about me, lol. I've since upgraded to an 2005 Liberty Renegade and slapped a new pair of MT's on it and its even more capable than the Tracker was. The only surprise I saw here is that this guy was running some bald street tires. Helluva good job on the recovery, too.

      Code Brown in the stix no problem as long as ya got good cover and for God’s sake bring a shovel. People are gross campers these days not covering their piles and paperwork. Gross!

    4 wheel drive Corvair build caught my attention, but this is a really interesting channel. The situations people create the scenery and the recovery is all truly worth watching.

    I subscribed because I wanted to follow the Corvair build but I stayed for the recoveries, this one was really interesting.

    This video brought back sad memories of rolling my Liberty. Lifted 2" on 31's with lockers on both ends. It went many places that stock JKs failed to follow. Same color too. Well done on the recovery.

      I had an 05 liberty on 31s. Took that thing absolutely everywhere. Camped in it, wheeled it. It went everywhere! Miss that thing. My jk hasn't even lived up to my liberty yet

    The Jeep Liberty is severely underrated as an off-roader in my opinion and why I adding one. Great video!

      You are correct, they are decent. I had a 2006 diesel and had it on a 2" OME lift with 265/75R16's with detroit truetracs in both axles. It's pretty capable like that, but the biggest issue is tires. Even fitting the 265/75's required cutting and hammering and all sorts of stuff to barely clear. Thats not even a 32" tire. Meanwhile I fit 285/70R17's on my stock Lexus GX and all I had to do was heat up the fender liner to bend it slightly.
      And I was constantly having issues with ball joints and wheel bearings in the Jeep and had to replace the rear boomerang link. Like by 100k miles I had done most of them at least twice.
      Great vehicle on paper but I personally felt it fell short in real life.
