Hey Brandon, congratulations on the new vehicle, I think you will enjoy it. I had an '03 Liberty Renegade up until last fall, and it made a great chase vehicle. You didn't happen to buy it used did you? LOL It was even black like your new one Have fun with it!

 

[Brandon Sullivan]

Take Care

That light thingy makes it look like night rider lol.

 

[Brandon Sullivan]

hahah, yeah.. makes it look pretty cool though.. too bad the off road lights are not street legal, they are bright as heck!!!

They're not legal in most states for coyote hunting either, but they work well for it. If it was mine you will find a single dent on the roof from a short-lived encounter with some golfball hail

That's why the renegades came with the little light covers... I would leave them off. I loved my pencil beam KCs that I had on my trail jeep, (that is until a tree took them out) On a desolate road at night, they would really light it up.

In OK you definitely need to make sure any auxillary lighting, even if it's street legal, is off when you are meeting a car, just like high beams. I was issued a written warning on a chase vacation (wasn't actively chasing at that time though) by a nice State Trooper.

Here in AL it's a little known law that any offroad lights must have covers on them while you are on the street. They never say anything to you though unless they are trying to find something...(Think Spring break at Gulf Shores/Orange Beach)

Enjoy your Jeep,... I know i've enjoyed both of mine. That isnt the diesel by any chance is it? those got great mileage.

 

[Brandon Sullivan]

Nah, its not the diesel. But yeah, I have heard some positives about the diesel.

 

[Blake Michaleski]

yeah it was a Mercedes designed diesel. a product of Chrysler's previous merging with Daimler. Now that they are just chrysler, I believe they have dropped the diesel in the Libbys. The Grand Cherokee for 07 and 08 have a different Mercedes diesel however. Which may have to be my next chase rig. I was going to try and find a low mileage 01 (last year) regular Cheokee XJ. I just love the style of them. I have a 92 Cherokee now and it's got 205,000 miles on her.

Very nice motor. You'll be steering clear of core punches in that for a while...
