JEEP LIBERTY DISASTERS - All FIVE of Them!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- When your husband goes behind your back to purchase 5 old Jeep Libertys, intentionally spending as little money as possible, for the purpose of a REAL budget build competition among friends....there's bound to be a LOT of issues and problems that will need to be fixed first.

Kevin, Don’t let this MAP Sensor distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three lifted roached out Liberty’s with junk 3.8s, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three window regulators without clips and a motec exhaust system.
3 honda’s with spoon engines 😂
Lmao. Now that’s funny
They have 3.7's not 3.8's.
Mildly tuna no crust…
@@LiteBriteKevin the window regulator cable is broken in them, this is a common design problem with them, pretty much all car manufacturers used this design from 1995 and up. I have replaced over several hundreds of them on all different cars.
Been waiting for updates on the Liberty series. Wonderful to see this come out. Favorite content on the channel.
Every Jeep Liberty owner I’ve known had window regulator problems. Thin plastic “chain” breaks. Electrical Gremlins are Jeeps! I hear ya Kevin. The older I get the less I enjoy doing my own work, and I’m not a mechanic by any means. I envy your knowledge and drive. Once you remove the Alternator you’ll be able to get to that MAP sensor, but later if it fails again - good fix you did! Yes, money helps! LiteBriteNationLibertyLiabilities!
Every new car has "window regulator problems" they all use a steel cable with plastic gears
Great video! The window regulators are pretty cheap if you get them online $40 each. Just go ahead and replace all of them (trust me)😂. It’s gonna be interesting watching this all come together next Summer. I think they will surprise you offroad 😊
Holly, you need to take Liberty Bibberty on this trip as their support vehicle
Funny about working on vehicles. " Like to do upgrades , no do not like that either, just want to drive " like the honesty. Good video .
Kevin we know that project cars and jeeps are your thing. It makes sense that you don't want to hunt down faults. But, upgrades.... You are all in.
When you were wondering if the window tab was supposed to be bent or not I was wondering why you didn't just look at the other side. Alternatively, you bought 5 of those things, look at one of the others. Or Google it. Hahaha, fun video. I'm 62 and I still enjoy fixing stuff on cars. Can get frustrating, but when you fix it and the car runs great again it feels really nice.
That mini truck looked even more mini sitting on the trailer! 😂😂
Haters gunna hate but it comes with your gig
Chin up with all the issues to fix because this idea sounds like an absolute blast
Can’t wait to see it
You guys got this👌🏼👍🏻
I owned a Liberty for roughly 4 years. I had to do the window regulator job 5 times. They do make a clipless version of the part that I would highly recommend for the next one you inevitably will need to do. Very much looking forward to this series!
17:06 I agree with your logic Kevin! I’m at a point where I don’t enjoy working on vehicles anymore. Sometimes the frustration isn’t worth the time.
Sometimes you get what you paid for. I have to admit that some of them I would have walked away from. It's a good idea Kevin but it looks like you'll be spending months fixing them up for your adventure next year. Happy Trails to you all.
looks like the adventure has begun before you hit the trail-classic Jeep life! Tequila time😂 This is fun guys and gets to the heart of Jeeping on a budget-more of a ‘what can I get away with and survive’ strategy😆💪✌🏻
IN 2005 I bought a new Liberty diesel. I loved that vehicle. It was not quite as good off-road as my Wrangler, but it was surprisingly good. And ..., it got 30MPG on the highway.
That brake pedal kinda sounds like Knight Rider to me. I love it 😂😂😂
My favorite episode on LiteBrite yet, common people can relate to this. And its fun.
15:58 I understand your sentiment entirely. There comes a point where if you’ve worked on your own stuff all your life and you have the money to do it sometimes it’s just nicer to pay somebody else to do it and not have to deal with it.
The Susuki I have the rear driver window regulator failed. Instead of taping the window shut I used a block of wood to semi-permanently hold the window in the closed position. That was 21 years ago and still holding.
We have a 2006 that we wheeled in Moab for a month. And it drove us from Vancouver BC and back pulling a trailer with 2 motorcycles. Oh and it has manual transmission and 250000km on the clock. If you take care of them they last. And the low gear is killer crawling fun.
We were out there in a $8000 setup with $80000 rigs on trails like Fins and Things, Chicken corners where we were the only ones going around the last corner to the end. And other tight trails that full size rigs will not go. Just sayin’.
you guys are gaining subs last time i saw it was at 285k congrats on 300k im not sure when that happened but congrats
I'm sure you will have fun with these things, gaining knowledge about there little issues is exactly the way to go, I suggest you pull the plugs on all the rear windows now and save that issue in future, and your right I have no time for doing cars myself mainly because they are soulless machines and there is no pleasure in fixing them any more, Looking forward to the big adventure Kids ❤
The flickering is just low voltage after about 35 mins the alternator will have the voltage high enough to stop it
And the break noise when you first started it could be the abs not having proper power
I get it Kevin. I'm in IT and at home, I just don't want want to fix stuff all of the time. I just want to use it and play with what I want to.
Get a can of the spray Flix Seal Max (black cap) and spray/coat that sensor in it and let it dry for a day and that sensor will not fall apart when offroading. It's good for temps up to 350 degrees and I believe that area of the engine should get around 200-250 max. lmao!
Unlikely you need to replace the window regulator. The plastic breaks where the cable attaches. You can drill a small hole in the plastic. Stick a bolt and cable through the hole and tighten it down. No money spent and easy fix. It will not break again.
Also when they sit, the oil runs out of the lifters. When they stick, they fall out and lay in the valve cover. I had one that had 4 lifters laying in the valve covers.
Love this challenge! Funny as I was just wondering if there was an update with these. I had an 05 so I’m definitely interested in seeing what you do. Any I don’t blame ya Kev, I’d rather drive than work on my vehicles lol.
I’m with you Kevin on driving is more fun than working on them. I even pay to have my oil changed these days!
Hahaha never ends....
You mentioned Chris how is he doing?
Does he have his own channel yet?
It would be nice to have Chris and his wife as one of the teams for the Liberty Challenge. Sure do miss the content Chris added to the channel.
The only thing wrong with this challenge is that you havent invited me to come with you yet....lmao. Its a good idea. Have a blast.
I Firmly Believe in owning a Hayne's Manual for Every Vehicle I Own!😂
My 2005 Jeep liberty had the passenger front door window regulator fail UP! The driver one also failed but that one failed down, so tragically I had to replace it lol but haven’t replaced that passenger one yet 😂
I’m sure I have other issues with my liberty, but it’s just a POS daily driver that I don’t plan on investing nearly any money into 😂 it gets me to and from work pretty reliably, so I’ll stick with it!
Interesting , Thank You . I do like my Liberty , it does have 242,000 Miles . Runs good
Just stuff a rag under the map sensor for any dropped bolts. Or don't. 😂
Is there going to be a sag wagon to collect parts on the expedition as they fall off? Wouldn’t want you to get busted for littering and I would also recommend putting an advance call into Matt’s recovery service so they can be on stand by….I think all drivers will be getting a t-shirt😂
If those liberty are like the 01 grand cherohee I had, when the battery is so dead and doesn't keep power to the brain, they loose idle memory, as you jump them and battery comes to life you have to hold idle at about 2000 rpms so the brain can learn idle again
The tool box onto the trailer part, it'll be an extra step in the future, maybe use the tie downs a strap and a snatch block may of gave you a straight pull then a side pull from the winch????? Not sure if you had all those? Just a thought for the future😊
Might be right up Rudy's alley to work on these for you.
Dang! I still wish you guys got WJs instead! but it will be fun to see what happens !
Just empty every pocket 😅
I went up black bear pass in my liberty a few years ago only thing I had issue with was the transmission getting hot , I’d recommend some kinda cheap fan to put on the trans radiator
Can’t wait to see what they will do on the trails.
I had an '86 Dodge Aries that had the blend door problem. One of the hoses going to the vacuum accumulator had split causing the blend door to stay in the defrost position.
why did you buy 5 jeep Liberty ? what is the purpose ?
In the Diemler- Chrysler years a low battery would prevent them from idling once you get a good battery you should start the car and let it idle for 60 seconds in park then put it in gear and turn on the a/c blower on high and let idle again for 60 seconds. Also any of the window regulators that were broke got fixed under warrenty not a recall but they were so bad jeep took care of it. jeep paid .9 of an hour. 15 minute job, did tons of them.
Happy Veteran's Day! 3E571.
Kevin my friend you will experience all that hated with the liberty problems 😏
We absolutely loved our pain-in-the-ass Cheep liberty. I have a couple of brand new window regulators for the front doors for sale. "Old style" they will not fit 05-06
Rednerpult solution for the rear Windows is to block the Windows in the up position on the vertical guide and then disconnect the power to the window.
We finally get to see why Kevin purchased all these Liberties! Lol Good luck!
Maybe there is an adapter for that radio. Go on line to see if there is one.
So is that box factory and if it is then do a recall check to see if it has.
What about using a “snatch block/ring” to make it come straight up the center…?
Should have paid for Chris to have a vasectomy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both my rear window regulators failed. I raised the windows by hand and removed the inner door panel and ran a screw through the plastic at the bottom of the window to keep it up. Quick 10 minute and free fix. By the way, Jeep must have got a huge price break on the silver paint. Mine is also silver.
Hay Kevin is that left hand door speaker a stock if not you might want to see if the door mechanism you might need to see if it is. Oh go ahead and get a prob so you can see what's going on inside the door.
Kevin: The window regulator replacer. More Kevin talent shown.
I have a 2015 JKU Rubicon and had to have three driver door and one left rear passenger door window regulators replaced. Since the last time I had the driver window regulator replaced, I haven't used any of the windows. I'm afraid they will fail again. ☹🤔
Sounds like a great time 😂😂
It's the pin connection n the plug. Check how well it connects.. vibration can make them get lose nside the plug it's self possibly
Wal-Mart sells the mounting kit for the stereo...
Britt, I would never sneak around your behind your back for Jeep liberties. But for xj's, I'm afraid the creeper would have to creep.....
Bet you wish Chris was still around right about Now😅😅😅😅
Do Marlon and Luna live with you guys now lol
We all live in the same city. We live about 10 minutes away from each other.
Just put the lifter back n it will idle just fine ..😂
Because ur lifter lost oil pressure sitting then it spit it out of the rocker arm.
You can do it! I will watch.
For that tool chest, I would have shackled a snatch block on the neck of the trailer so the box pull straight up the trailer. You got it up there so that's all that matters.
Adding winch to the trailer might help too. Could use it to pull a disabled vehicle up if needed.
My son has one that he lifted and has done well off roading Colorado. It is no Toyota for sure. That said, as you know Jeep means just enjoy every penny.
Been waiting for this video
You should try to put some five minute epoxy on it. It holds better than superglue. and you probably do it all in place
A strong argument for manual crank windows here…
THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO
Well Kevin sounds like you might send one of those Jeeps to Chris to be fixed that way you know they will do the challenge just think you could get one every 2 weeks and everyone will be happy including Brittany.
DoorDash with them, you'll find out what's wrong real quick. Kevin I have faith in you, can't wait to see these things run in CO.
take black window caulk put some in the window track sides and upper part slide the window up tape let it dry window will not fall down
Seems like the voltage regulator is shot on them Jeep Liberties🤔
I never needed to replace a water pump on my 2005 Liberty, but my 2010 I had to replace 2 in 213k miles. The first one was a recall. They are very cheaply made. The impeller is plastic.
I’m with Kevin..I love off-roading..drag racing..motocross..but never have I worked on anything for fun, just necessity.
For more content after you complete this run, challenge each of the cheap jeep drivers, to spend 5,000 to 10,000 each on vehicle up grades. Whatever you or they, can afford, just make sure it's the same price for every one. Winches, roll bars, factory replacements not upgrades don't count, such as ball joints, brake pads/rotors, u-joints, bushings. That sort of thing. This isn't my money and not sure how practical it is for y'all financially, but it is keeping with the idea of building affordable cheap jeeps for the average person. Everyone could record and post their build on their own channels and recoup some of the money spent by making the content, get new viewership and
Then you could auction the vehicles some place, or have a raffle based on merch sells. Every 5 dollars gets you so many raffle tickets. Anyways good luck, as a liberty owner I think this is cool. I want to build up my liberty, because my dad gave it to me and he is passing.
When you go out and go to Colorado, can I go along?
Ya half the price for a battery at Wally World Crazy . I just did the same thing but was able to get the $69 instead of the $109.00 .
Maybe there is a way to incorporate fixing the jeep you get as part of the competition?
I'm thinking you could just pull the alternator I bet it would give you enough room to work on it.
Will you be giving these away after the challenges ?
Xterras would have been cool as well . I have a 2006 SE ( 4.5 inch Lift ) . I will never get rid of this vehicle . As a matter of fact , I am pretty sure my son is rdy for me to go ahead and pass it on to him .
AS the Liberties are not going to have rear seat passengers, I don't know why you were spending time fixing the rear regulators. The Front ones are more important by far. If you get on the trail, the windows come down to hear "suggestions"-though get walkie-talkies and seal the windows after getting the A/C units working and F all the window regulators. Hoping to see them on the trail next Summer.
I hate doing repairs on any of my vehicles. I don't mind doing upgrades/ modifications. Having a Masters in mechanical engineering, I especially hate lazy, or dumb designs, or cheaping out on build quality. I especially hate all the nannies on new vehicles, to help lazy, or incompetent drivers. Hence my 88 YJ has a Chevy 4.3 and 700R4. It's a "dumb" Jeep. All it has needed in the last 24 years, is a water pump, and headlight switch. The switch was a pain to replace, due to the roll cage.
Hi kevin . I like your videos . what are you doing for living ?
I think people believe you don’t know how to work on vehicles is because they see the old videos when you guys were on the road living in hotels and couch surfing you didn’t have a shop and then things got going well and you hired a private mechanic fabricator, a.k.a. Chris because you had so many projects And there’s no time for wheeling which is what has made you guys famous if you were turning wrenches on all your own vehicles. I’ve watched you do trail repairs which are the hardest cause you have to take something broken and make it work at least for a little while so you definitely know what you’re doing.
Why is there a plastic plug directly above the exhaust. ??
Making a parts list for when or they make it to the end it may need. Lol
The KJ will suprise you when u actually get them off road.
Check with Jeep, there was a recall on the windows.
Stoped up cat
just as a joke-what is the travel range on the front suspension and what is the ground clearance. Not concerned about break-over angle…they will break first so the over might not be a concern🤣
This whole adventure is a hoot. Kevin purchasing on the sly (not sure I fully believe he was able to do this on the sly), Britt’s side eyes and comments about clandestine purchases and the crazy scheme to terminally demolish some senior citizen Jeep Liberties on some brutal trails -even if they don’t take the path less travelled because…well they just can’t. Would love to be one of the drivers-I could really use a Matt’s recovery T-shirt in wardrobe 😆.
Third! I love Liberty!
Kev, didn't realize you still have the "compound".
We technically don’t, that was just us picking up the last of our stuff. 😅🥲
Man missed the opportunity for lite brite liberty challenge
Commen Sense says you buy a bag of extra screws!
Hey Kev ..!
When it comes to winching you only need one really good friend where's your friend mr snatch block he could've helped you with that trailer easy Peezy I know you have to have one or two of those..!
No one can judge we all have our chances
Well its getting cold her3 Nampa Idaho and so in Utah you might start getting cold in one to two weeks 😂Hahahahaha
Don’t need no AC Don’t need no windows
Absolutely-it’s a Jeep,sort of,never ment to have luxuries lol
