Re: Fw: History of Jeep and the Jeep Liberty (diesel)

I have a copy of the book, sent to review for AIM. Notice I haven't written anything about it! If you like Jeeps and want to know a little about the inner workings of the Chrysler/Jeep engineering department, the book will prove interesting. I found the hybrid remarks interesting, but Jeep and overall suspension design remarks equally (if not more) interesting. You do have to overlook the ego trip though. the writing is a bit rough, but hardly unreadable. The ego stuff is obvious, look over that and you can get some good info from the book. But download it for $4, read, then recover the hard drive space. It's not something you want to keep long term, not likely anyway. I think it downloads as a PDF, so you can't keep sections of it. To bad, 20% of the book is worth keeping if you want the Jeep suspension and Hybrid stuff.
