Here's the requirements:
2004 or newer
$16000 or less
4x4 not awd
Front and side curtain airbags
Solid drivetrain(doesn't have to be perfect, but something that can be flogged a bit with 30-31's is what i'm shooting for)
Seating for at least 5 (comfortably seated) if not 7
I like the idea of a newer jeep. Cant afford a jk, nor does it meet my safety needs.
I'm thinkin' mostly of these two rigs:
Jeep commander 2006-2010
Jeep liberty 2008-2012
The liberty and the commander have 8.25 rear ends, np241 tcases in base models, dana 30 ifs front diffs. The libby has a winch mount available and they both have armor,sliders, and lockers available. They both tow at least 5000 and both meet the space/safety requirements.
Anyone own one or the other? Anyone decide to stray from the Jeep brand for their daily driver/weekend warrior rig? My kids are outgrowing my xj and i've ruled out fullsize pickups for now.
Definitely appeciate your thoughts.
