Re: preparing for new driver - liberty?
 

Good morning,

The U.S. is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and the
people I believe are the most hospitable I have ever met!
Now, those bus you are talking about... Driving into a K.O.A. at
night(I'm not quite sure as to where anymore though)
and hearing all these popping sounds and then a whole ---- storm of
the largest strangest insects flying towards the head and driving
lights!
I'll never forget my one friend nearly ---- himself as one of those
hugh beetles landed on his head! And at the same time a rather juicy
and plump tarantula ran across his foot! I never laughed so hard in my
life! I bent over and picked up the spider and pushed it towards his
face, he just freaked and hid in the van for the rest of the night!
Wuss. One of the local folks there at the camp ground referred to the
big beetles as "June bugs" Pretty cool though!
As far as A/C?
No such luxury for us, Plenty of beer on the other hand.
My wife and I are planning on creating a similar journey with our my
two daughters(Cooper 13 & Alex 12) from my first marriage in our
Liberty.
One of those new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4 doors would be nice
for a 6 week adventure.
We want to only use secondary roads as much as possible. Stay off
Interstates. Too busy and too fast. You don't really get to see
anything or meet anybody along the way.

Cheers

Ry'

Re: preparing for new driver - liberty?
 

I say, if the girl wants a Wrangler, get her one.
Then you can have a ton of amazing "Father - Daughter moments" while
teaching her how to drive it. You can take her trail riding and teach her
all she needs to know for when the bad weather gets here.
C'mon Nate.... don't be such a stick in the mud :)

If she's a responsible young lady, you should have no problems with her and
the rig.
As far as the Liberty, I'd say no, a Cherokee would be a better choice.
After having driven both, I would choose the Cherokee myself over the Libby
for umpteen different reasons.

Now.. a Fox Mustang...
Nawwwww... the girl wants a Jeep... LIKE HER DAD....

my 14 year old is preparing to get her drivers permit (montana licenses
drivers at 15) and her first choice is a wrangler. due to the short
wheelbase and icy roads i dont think this would be a smart choice for her.
her second choice is a liberty. i havent driven one since jeep lowered them
2" in '02/'03(?) and im not sure how forgiving they are. feedback
appreciated.
