The old budgit hoist with roller chain brought back some old memories of the saw shop where I used to work. Used it to lift massive saw blades. One of the best shop cranes there is! Keep the videos coming please.
What’s crazy is, this one came out of a shop that used it to lift knife blades into a big jig to be sharpened for a big chipper head. These must’ve been the go-to hoist for saw shops!
Crazy as in getting carried away with the build? Or crazy long? Cause I feel the video was a little too long, I cut the original edit down to this. It WAS about an hour long!
we have a 2010 liberty same color and we did a 3 inch lift with 33's it doesnt do to bad at gladetop in missouri ,but after seeing what your doing I like that.. keep the videos coming!!
Thank you! Yeah, this one got a little out of hand! I want to find another one and do a 2 to 3 inch lift on 31’s for a daily driver. I’ll definitely keep the videos coming as I progress!
Some things to take away from this video - 1. I think this guy is hiding a lot of his skills 2. My Liberty will never be a work of art like this one will be 3. He does not brag on himself as a lot do 4. He knows how to teach 5. He's leaving us hanging at the end of the video! 6. I can't wait for the next video! 7. This is a long video - which I like, some may not!
Thank you! To address #2, I’m doing these videos so someone can make their Liberty like mine! I do my best at teaching. I edited a lot out of this video because it was originally over an hour long. Also #5, I didn’t want to leave anyone hanging, just being honest at where I was at scratching my head!
@@millwright15 I would've watched the hour long version. As for me making my Liberty like yours, I unfortunately do not have the time or the money. So, I will absolutely enjoy watching you build this one! Keep the camera and videos rolling!
Awesome! I just got my basic 2.5 skyjacker lift and I'm loving my liberty now! It ended up lifting it 4 inches because how worn the stock suspension was!
I got it around 68000 MI one owner it's now at 120,000 and this thing is my daily driver and I wheel it mostly trail riding but I'm getting some sticky place and every once in awhile she just keeps going they're still stickers on the factory parts some of them under the front end it's rust free I think I just got lucky and got a good one finding Rust free in New England is almost impossible but it still rust free a car wash here and there during the winter time cleaning underneath it's so easy to do that's all I do and I never have rust unless the car had rust when I already bought it
I'd say keep the KK axle, we are all so invested in it now. Get shorter lower control arms or move the mounting point on the body a bit forward. All the best!
Our kk will be next just waiting to see what all u run into. I really wanted to put 35s on it like it is and see how she dose .I trimmed a bit . Almost got everything to swap out axles but really want to know how the suspension you gathered works .
Looking forward to seeing what you get done. I had the JK front with a trans x member/link mounts fabbed up for my wife’s Liberty, then the transmission blew and a few other odds and ends needed repair around the farm so sold it all to pay down that junk, don’t think the fellow that bought it ended up putting anything together.
Been getting ready to start working on the front, my main job is my major hold up. 12 and 16 hour days are rough! It’s a shame you put all that work in yours and the next guy didn’t do anything with it. Unfortunately, I’ve been there before on projects. Sometimes you just have to cut things lose and move forward!
Just get new adjustable lower control arms and move the brackets around to the front of the axle and you will be fine 👍 i call dibs on the 8 1/4 rear diff cover when ya put the rubicon axel in it 👍😂
Woo man, sorry for the very late reply! Been busy working on the thing! Found a solution for the rear axle and already have 90% of what I need for the front axle swap!
Great call on the decision to relocate the LCA mounts👌🏼 First thing I noticed they were sticking out and would get lots of trail rash and possible damage. Great effort on the KK Rear Axle! 👌🏼 Doesn’t seem a rear JK axle would be any much different at this point. Looking forward to the next video! 👌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Just so happened I’m out in the garage, so I decided to find out. Looks like from the inside of the Jeep (obviously) on the back hatch there’s a small half moon looking piece that you need to remove. It’s about half the size of a pool ball. After that, insert a flat blade of Phillips head screw driver and turn it until the lock pops open.
@millwright15 I was really surprised to see Wrangler wheels go on here. I had been looking at that option for my Liberty but it seemed like they were different bolt patterns. Did you change the bolt pattern on your Liberty from the stock?
@@bshupejr yes, they are a different bolt pattern. I used a quality wheel adapter and had zero problems. The front axle is out of a wrangler so no adapter will be needed now. Still running the adapters on the rear.
Nice... now you're getting after it.
Thanks! I’ve been trying, work and every other project has been killing me!
@@millwright15 I feel for you my friend. It's been tough here too
I’ve never seen someone Jack so fast in my life 🤯
🤣🤣🤣
Bro I love this
I am glad and thankful!
This was nice to wake up and see on the start of my extra long weekend. Long awaited!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video! Always waiting! Love KK!
Thank you! I truly appreciate it!
Freakin sweet , cant wait for the next video. I will definitely be trying this on my kk in the future.
More to come! And hopefully soon!!

was so happy to see you post! love this thing. used to have an xj & wk, really want a box liberty next!
Thank you! I just picked up an 05 WK limited with a hemi! I really like it!
Man, the upload I was waiting on but not expecting! Get that rear axle situation figured out and lets see that front SAS! Keep the video's comin'!
Will do! Trying to get my schedule cleared out for more time on this thing! Out of curiosity, what part were you not expecting?
@@millwright15 sorry for the late response, but I was not expecting you to get this crazy with the build!
Thats so much work for a liberty but hey use what you got i guess !
Awesome video
Thank you!

I see a JK axle in your future. You’ll always wish you did, if you don’t.
I’m torn between getting a JK axle or 4 linking this one. Just kinda have “writer’s block” at the moment.

@@PhatboyHD88 they were great! Busy, but great! Hope yours was great as well!
As a Liberty owner. Thank you for this build, because I’d never be able to afford it. 😂
I’m ashamed of the amount I have invested in this thing!
Don't forget to upgrade your cooling system especially your transcooler
Have you somehow been spying on what I’ve been up to?? 🤣🤣🤣

Hope it drives true and straight
It will, I’ll make sure of it. This ain’t my first rodeo!

I got a 2012 jeep liberty. My hatch will not open. Is there anyway to manually do it? I looked all over and i only see things for a 2007 and under.
Just so happened I’m out in the garage, so I decided to find out. Looks like from the inside of the Jeep (obviously) on the back hatch there’s a small half moon looking piece that you need to remove. It’s about half the size of a pool ball. After that, insert a flat blade of Phillips head screw driver and turn it until the lock pops open.
@millwright15 do you know if it's clockwise or counter clockwise? It was a plastic piece and I don't want to break it.
@@itznoah231 I popped the plastic part out with a flat head screwdriver and could see the screw head under the cover.
@@itznoah231 can’t remember which way I had to turn the screw to get the lock to release
bloody Awesome!!

What would it cost if someone had this done and it not being your vehicle
I’m not sure what a “shop” would charge. I’m about 10k in parts right now
@@millwright15 ouch
@@Gokywildcats11 yeah, this project got out of hand!
Bet a decent fab shop is $150 an hour, at a minimum.
