Jeep Liberty Dash

While this blog is about features I like about my Jeeps, this particular post is about a feature that I don't like as well. That is the dash on my Jeep Liberty, or to be more honest, the lack of a dash. There is a covering to hide the wires and ugly stuff underneath, but it has no usable space. I'm sure the primary purpose of a dash is not for storing things, but there is no place in a Jeep Liberty to store anything temporarily. The console has a CD storage area and a dual drink holder. But if the CD storage area is full, there is no place to put a pair of sun glasses, for example. Of course, there is the glove compartment. Or one could use a holder on the visor, although I do not like things on my visor. But when I take my sunglasses off while going in the store for a little while, I would rather just place them somewhere convenient, like on the dash. I have tried putting them on the passenger seat, but got a pair smashed when someone sat on them.

In a Jeep Liberty, to get the wheel base short enough for the body style, the dash had to go. That's alright. I still like the Liberty. But give me a dash, any dash, just some dash to use. I promise I'll use it wisely and carefully.
