2003 SEMA Show


Ready for adventure or foreign beachhead, the Jeep Liberator CRD Diesel explores style and function enhancements, while making diesel engines cool. Showing off the Common Rail Diesel engine sold overseas, this project vehicle puts it to use driving four 16x8-inch bead lock wheels shod with trail-ready Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 315/75R16 tires. Other adventure prep includes a top-of-the-line GPS navigation system, entertainment system, canvas roof with a full-length sliding panel, four vinyl-trimmed bucket seats, 9,000-lb. winch, and radical steel bumpers. For serious off-roaders who embrace mud like an elixer, the Liberator has been stripped bare of carpeting and leather for a true hose-out interior. Bonus points are given for the masterful play on the Liberty name. While it may remind some enthusiasts of certain series of Gov. Schwarzenegger films, it is a great salute to the Boeing B-24 bomber that made a serious, uh, impact during WWII. The Liberator colors even remind of those great planes.
