I bought my 2020 sport S w towing and limited slip & hardtop w 5000 miles last year for $33k plus tax etc. with couple years left on warranty.
I feel like it was a steal, love the truck! Didnt know I would love the firecracker red so much!

for me, limited slip is the answer. I added Truetrac to Liberty and no more fear in deep sand.
The Gladiator came w factory version, works great, all the time. I will replace with Truetrac when clutches wear out.
I mounted Lasfit ARB clone compressor using some scavenged materials. Stainless base used to be BBq side table - turned it over to serve as tray and added some HD stainless screen from metal vendor scrap pile to protect compressor from cargo shifts and keep items from touching the hot heads...
Question... why are Apex disconnects so expensive?
just like divorce, because they are worth it.
For Sport models you will need to run spacers , wide track Rubicons etc. don't need them.
I'm happy with Mopar lift and Apex disconnects on my sport S. stayed with 33" tires as I tow small trailer. Eibach spent some time w me on phone and I'm happy w results in shock choice, plenty of travel.
we do mostly fire roads and trails, a little rock crawling sometimes when trail is washed...
'65 Tiger, I've had this since "97, 5.0 liter, 5 speed, 4:10 rear, rev's to 7500rpm. I use it for going to the marina, autocross and canyon carving on hwy 74. yeah my dumb -axx friend was not supposed to have his arm out there. A candidate for Darwin award. Sold the SL55amg to buy the...

Found these gear bags on Amazon, cheaper than I could make them! its all there! FRench press / mini espresso maker and backpacking stove is for the wife.
Added Pellcan box ($20 swap meet!) fastened to Amazon racks ($110) to hold trail gear,, 1st aid / tow strap / jumper batt/ cables/ tie downs / air compressor/ French press & stove / still room for pcc rifle. I'm going to get "security fasteners " for racks for antitheft. this keeps all that...
Full Tilt in San Clemente did a great job for me on Liberty. very experienced and great guidance. They talked me out of front locker and were totally correct . I've never needed it since install of Eaton Truetrac n rear. They showed me all the old parts and came in exactly at estimate.
I did...
I put Tru trac in rear of wife's liberty and it was a night and day difference. we don't even air down in sand anymore. The liberty does everything my TJ did. Amazing for what t is. True trac are gear driven, no clutches to wear out. When my Sport s Gladator LSD wears out I'll do both front...
I installed spidertrax to clear Apex disconnects on my Gladiator sport. no issues.
I put generic spacers on my OME lifted Liberty for appearance, to fill out wheel wells. no issues there either. There is not a lot to them. I think if you install correctly with threadlocker and check torque...
after adding takeoff Mopar lift I called up Eibach and explained what I was looking for ( trails and medium towing ) we found that I could optimize length and gain a lot in travel. No problems after @ 5000 miles. great results on and offroad so far.
It's a truck and I run E load tires for So Cal...
I would wait a bit and see if it still bothers you. Our trails in the desert are very dusty. I've considered getting one just to give the air filter a fighting chance. Check Offer Up , Craigslist etc for a hood, I'm sure one will pop up eventually.
I went to Rubi takeoffs in my sport S (narrow axle) 285/70/17 tires . no rub until I put Apexlynx disconnects on. had to install spacers and now have @ 1.5" poke. weathertech mud flaps in front stopped the door hinge paint chipping
I added Redarc tow brake and pull 14" 2200# dry Aljo single axle Camping trailer. Prob close to 3000# loaded. I use weight distribution hitch and mechanical sway control . The 8 speed is awesome! hardly know it is back there! Previously towed with 2008 Liberty, same motor but 4 speed auto...
