The truck is apparently based on an actual Liberty, possibly a leftover from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing-Benz_DaimlerChrysler_Auto motive">Beijing Jeep</a> project. In January 2008, the Liberty pickup was gifted to the China Military Museum in Beijing, along with some other colorfully-named BAW vehicles. Holding court with Brave Warriors and Lubas, the chopped Lib is easily the most impressive in the bunch. Hey, paint it up with mid-'80s graphics, call it the Comanche, and Bob's your uncle. <em>Hat tip to Tycho</em>.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.chinabaw.cn/aboutbaw/readnews1.aspx?news=40">B AW</a> via <a href="http://www.thetycho.com/news_baw1.htm">thetycho</a>]<br /><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/12/beijing-auto-works-pondered-jeep-liberty-pickup/">Beijing Auto Works pondered Jeep Liberty pickup?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 12 Feb 2009 08:01:00 EST.
