CRD? Cool!
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

I do see a CRD Grand in my future, but I'm enjoying no car payment right now.

Cool! 8) Save the Rubi wheels for the Liberty.

Liberties look really good with Rubi wheels too.....like the one pictured.

Unless they have upgraded the seats by say 100% they arent that comfortable. I drove the inlaws a couple of times and wasn't impressed, but that was 3 or so years ago.

The twin to that one, right down the bumper and Rubi take-offs, is sitting on a car lot not even 2 miles from my front door... And yes, CRD... I stopped a looked at it on my way home from work on Friday evening. :lol:
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

We looked and almost bought a Liberty but ruled it out due to the uncomfortable seats.

They use to have horrible windows also. Not sure if that issue has been worked out or now. My buddy was driving and one rear window just dropped into the door. A front window always went up crooked

If you want Rubi wheels, I'm pretty sure you need TJ Rubi wheels. By the way, my sister and bro-in-law loved their Liberty and traveled with it with three fullsize ish kids in the back.

Those have decent power and get really good mileage on the highway from what I've heard and read. Don't know about the seats though. I agree with Lee, I'd would consider a Grand Cherokee CRD someday or a 4 door Wrangler CRD if Jeep would build one.

So the other day at work, I was having a problem with my personal monitoring device. My boss says I have to go to the main Radcon building to fix it. He throws me a set of keys and says, "Take the silver Jeep out there."

It was a Liberty.

I went back inside and told him, "There's no Jeep out there."

Bwahahaha!

Yeah, I'm over it. . .

If there is a oil burner Jeep in our future, it will be a Grand. . .
