In addition to my street-legal Overland rigs, I've had a slew of RZRs (out here on the West Coast we call them SxSs or UTVs, to me ATVs is a "four wheeler" you ride, not sit in and drive). Anyway, I sold my last RZR a year or so ago, because I've had a Speed (Robby Gordon's new company) on...
I drove the truck from Vegas to Palo Alto on Monday (with the FWC still on the back). Honestly I'm super impressed with how smooth and stable the ride is now with the whole new rear suspension. I'm sure it's some combination of flaws in the previous setup (factory leaf/Deaver pack starting to...
You're correct that it was a replacement to the XJ (OG Cherokee) but it does not share "frames" with the XJ (XJ is a true unibody. The Liberty was built on Jeep's new concept "uniframe" that's sort of full length frame rails encapsulated in a unibody. Anyway, still a great, underappreciated...
It seems like a score for the money!!! Do you know of any current issues with it? What are your plans for it? I don't think most people realize the Liberty is a pseudo body-on-frame, solid rear axle rig with a real transfer case (and 4LO) and a great, underappreciated platform.

Got the camper back on and took it and my RV to the Mint 400 for a shakedown (@orange01z28 for scale):
The top of the FWC popped up is nearly as high as the RV. I’m going to bring the front back down an inch or two, then set the rear air to match which will get the four link bars...
Yet another way to think about it... torque is the vector cross-product of the radius and force vectors. Horsepower is simply a mathematical derivation based on torque and RPM (Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5,252). A transmission transmits HP/TQ to the rest of the drivetrain (whether that means...
Is that a scientific definition, or an idiom? If we take "inverter" to mean the thing that both provides, and meters current to the electric motor, is it not far more similar to a throttle body than a transmission?
The actual force that drives an EV is never transmitted through the inverter...
No, the inverter in and of itself does not change wheel speed in an EV. As you correctly stated, the inverter inverts DC to AC in order to provide power to the electric motor(s). That said, the speed controller does control motor speed/output in an EV speed, and is often packaged with or...
