Overland Built Jeep Liberty KJ walk-around - 4K 

Awesome! I follow you on Instagram, too. Looking forward to watching it grow

Thanks!! Yea they are few and far between, for sure

Thank you!

Oooh nice! I'm not far from you at all! What are your plans for it?

@@skyteamoverland5399 🤔🤔🤔 not too sure. Still learning.. need to keep it real simple at first.

@@bodynfocus ahh, okay. Nothing wrong with taking it nice and slow! Took me 9 years to get mine where I wanted

Haha, Thank you!

Thanks brother! It's been a long time building it up!

Thanks! I hope the video was helpful and enjoyable!😎

Thank you! I'm glad that it can inspire! The video is definitely long, but I wanted to cover as much as I could for everyone😎 Do you have somewhere I could follow along on your build?

@@skyteamoverland5399 pandahpanduh on instagram! 👍

@@stevenrodriguez3982 following!

Thank you! That sounds exciting 😎

Thank you!

Thanks! @wam_bumpers makes some nice ones

That's awesome! You're gonna love it. Don't stress over all the extras, just enjoy it and enjoy the process😀

Oh, nice! A fresh start! I look forward to seeing what more you do with it! What's your IG?

Wooo! Thank you so much!

Gracias mi amigo!

Thank you!

Thank you!! I know, he was a great guy too!

Hey! The storage drawers were made by a friend of mine as well. Just a big square box with some slides and drawers🙂

Thanks!! They are Eibach 14" in the front, and Old Man Emu 2865 in the rear

Thank you. Yes I know, our aftermarket support isn't the best lol

Thanks! Congrats on the new Jeep! Local, ehhh, not so much. Hidden Falls Adventure Park is the closest real park that most people go to. There is Viking Endeavors off of the west side, but its small. And 281 Country Club on the south side, but mainly mudding

Hi! I pulled all the trim pieces and painted it with Rustoleum Sunrise Red spray paint

Check out WAM bumpers!

Congratulations and welcome to the family😊 -- I would suggest reaching out to a local fabrication shop and see if they can make something for you. That is probably your best bet! I know WAM Bumpers is still making stuff, too, if you wanna check them out

@@skyteamoverland5399 Thank you, I'll check them out. I suppose if I have too difficult of a time finding something there's no reason I just couldn.t make something myself. I have the tools - not an expert though, but hey, that's never stopped me at any rate.

I did the cradle drop and the coilovers which allow for a lot more height adjustment

Hey Phil! Unfortunately I do not have a breakdown. What all are you interested in doing to yours?

@@skyteamoverland5399 Along the lines of Front bumper with a winch, Lights, Lift Kit, bigger off-road wheels, back bumper, tailgate step plate, roof rack...something simple for basic Overlanding (beaches, light mountain trails etcc) and definitely done over the course of the next year and maybe some performance upgrades under the hood well after that in 2 years

@@benaffblack this sounds like a solid plan!! Definitely check out @wam_bumpers on Instagram or their website. And Rocky Road Outfitters for some lifts😎

I believe that the 150lbs is for the strength of the stock rails capacity, not necessarily the roof. But you do have to factor in dynamic vs static loads into the equation. For mine, I do not have the stock rails on it, as it is bolted directly to the roof. I haven't had any issues, and have not reinforced anything. This tent is an evenly distributed 189lbs

Sport is the trim. Kj is the model

@@KneeGrowDoingKneeGrowThings interesting name lol. -- @Kev yes KJ is the model. And the parts will all fit. There were essentially two different "body styles", and it's best to look for parts within those. They are 02-04 and 05-07.

Hey Dustin, thanks for watching! Easiest way is to shoot me a message on Instagram (if you have it) ... @jeepasaurus_rex

Can i fit some 31x10.5x15s?

I just saw your reply I don’t have instagram how about email. Thanks

Answer to tire questions. Depends on lift. I have a 2.5 day star lift that you can fit 31s but your going to have to cut your pinch weld in the front fender and either have the right off set wheel or spacers if you have a factory wheel. I have a a tire equivalent to a 30 by 9.50 mounted on factory 16 inch steel wheel and and can fully flex to the max and not rub and I have not cut the pinch weld. I did trim my front bumper up which helps a lot. I did try to go with a 31 10.50 but was going to have to run spacer cut pinch weld and was going to have some rub at full flex I also have a 4 cyl that is geared a little high so tire killed engine. Ours is a budget build so I went with the spacer lift because I didn’t like reviews on the Rough Country 3 in lift I was so tempted to buy. It didn’t hold up over time and springs settled. I knew what I was getting with the Daystar lift and I’m happy with the performance for the price. I’ve Gone on trips with a family of four all our cooking and recovery gear tools. I’ve been on Jeep badge of honor trail and several trails. Yes I’ve gotten stuck and have been winched out several times but I know my limits when to back down and when to push through. And it’s awesome to see the looks on the people’s faces when you pass a 50,000 dollar decked out wrangler on the trail. A Liberty out on the trail gets people’s attention. The main thing is to get out have fun and explore you don’t have to have the biggest lift and tires though it does make it more fun or the 50,00 dollar rig if you got I’m happy for you but go have fun whatever level your at.

Hey!! They are just the stock flares but they are cut flat. The front is from WAM Bumpers

I just took the one that they had listed on the website, and then had them shrink the vertical height of it so that it had more clearance

Using a top plate with shock tabs on it, which enable me to just bolt it straight in. On the bottom end, it's still using the clevis, I just had an adapter made to screw onto the shaft of the shock.

How do you like the lift so far? How much lift did you get out of it? The drop itself is easy to make with some square tubing or solid steel, its the knuckle adapters that are the biggest challenge. I got mine from JBA about 5 years ago

@@skyteamoverland5399 . I got 3" of lift. I like it but 6" and a cradle drop would solve wheel well rubbing. CV joint issues and UCA clearance. Your setup is awesome.

@@omarjones1460 see if you can find someone local to make you some adapters for the knuckles and you'll be in business!

@@skyteamoverland5399 I'll look into getting some knuckle adapters made. I was looking for a bigger radiator too. Where did you get yours?

@@omarjones1460 awesome! I got mine off of ebay. If you search jeep liberty radiator you'll find it😎

About 11-13 on average down here. But if I go to higher elevations I've got it up to about 16 or so! I use it for everything. It was my daily driver for over 9 years

I agree! I've often thought about putting a little 4BT in it

Hey sorry somehow I missed this comment! They are the stock flares, I just cut them down and had them Linex

Hey, sorry for the delayed response! I'll get this for you tonight

Hey I didn't forget about you! I've been slammed at work. I'll try to get the information for you soon

@@skyteamoverland5399 Thanks for following man! No need to rush on it. Cheers

@@houseoflibra took me forever, but I hope this helps. Since I have the tent on my Gladiator now (shhhh🤫), I can't get the exact height from the roof to the top of tent. 2 3/4" rear feet height 3 3/4" front feet height 1/2" Load bar thick 1" from top of load bar to bottom of tent 10 3/4" Bottom of load bar to top of tent

@@skyteamoverland5399 Thanks so much for getting me these measurements, it helps a lot for my build. I have some height restrictions and need to make sure I’m within it. Looking forward to some Gladiator vids btw!

What measurements are you looking for?

Haha, took us long enough!

I can't remember exactly, but they are the 6.5" travel ones

Hey Austin! I guess first you just need to figure out what your overall plan is for the Jeep, and then go from there. What will your primary purposes be, and how will it be utilized?

Unfortunately you can't. I had a friend of mine make a few years ago, and he is no longer making them. I'd recommend going to a nearby fabrication shop and see if they can make something for you!

Hey Steve! No I don't think I will. I'd much rather do a diesel swap. Maybe VW

@@skyteamoverland5399 Diesel if fine unless your planning on travelling to really cold parts of the U.S. in the winter at which point a new set of problems occur such as needing a engine block heater and fuel jelling up. Not to mention the much heavier Diesel engine will cause your Liberty not to go as well in mud conditions.

@@mechanicsteve2320 yes we have a plan for all of that. Thankfully, the VW tdi's arent much heavier, and we will likely do a SAS on the KJ at the same time, so it'll be able to hold the weight and have a stronger axle to do so!😎

Hey Patrick! You can message Morgan at At The Helm and see if he can make the upper and lower mount for you. The piece that goes in the clevis would need to be made locally, and tapped to fit the bottom eyelet of the Fox. As for springs, I'd say check out any lift.companies and see what they have available. You'll need to know the length and the spring rate that you'll want, as well as diameters

@@skyteamoverland5399 thanks for the info. I have found fox coil-overs and fox springs. 600lbs spring, 2.5” ID, and about 12” in length. I may have a clevis piece for the bottom, just waiting for the coil-overs to show up to make sure the piece I have has the same thread as the shaft on the shock.

@@skyteamoverland5399 i believe I spoke with someone a while back at At The Helm about fox coil-overs and coil springs. Which is how i got my springs and shocks ordered. I’ll have to go back through my emails

@@pat14lang awesome! Any new developments since then?

@@skyteamoverland5399 i’m going to have some spring perches and top mounts made by a friend of a friend. The spring perches i have are for 3” I.D springs which is about the same size as OME and OEM spring diameter size. At The Helm said he couldn’t make the mounts I need.

I'm not sure which one you mean, but the front bumper is from WAM, and the rear was made by a friend of mine

It's around 7"

Totally understandable! But hopefully it'll give some ideas to people who want to have some stiff custom made

@@skyteamoverland5399 I am having a hard time finding much of anything I want for my 2006 Liberty KJ CRD. I need roof mounting brackets for a 40" curved bar light (or any other suggestions in lighting), rear bumper with swing out for Jerry can/spare, sliders and undercarriage armor. I think I'm going to go with the Badlands 12000 winch with synthetic rope, was considering the ARB front bumper with bull bar, and I ended up ordering the Ironman 2" lift (was on steal of a sale) It's hard to find anything over 2" with the diesel but I did find one but the iron man was 1/3rd the price which allows me to get more other stuff quicker. Lastly, do you think I'll need new upper control arms and/or strut mounts with that 2" suspension? I'm crossing my fingers I can get a 33" tire in there with that 2" lift! Thanks!

My primary purpose isn't for fording water. I have one and use it for cleaner air. Having the ability to use it to go onto deeper water vs. the stock location is just a small added benefit

@@skyteamoverland5399 yeah fair enough, but you said that there’s a “misconception” on what snorkels are used for, and you’re wrong lol you just said your reason is for cleaner air, even though you have a filter lol

You're entitled to say and speak how you feel, as am I. I don't do anything in life for a "cool factor".

@@skyteamoverland5399 Come onnnnnn, bippidy boppidy 🤏

@@sudonix5923 lol...alright then

@@skyteamoverland5399 it looks really good though dude. Really

@@sudonix5923 thanks!
