Jeep Cherokee Freedom?

Ahem.

lol! I am trying to be reasonable with both party's of this "story". But in the end, I personally thought someone needed to help you out on clarifying the real truth behind the freedoms...I'm not one for defensive people that are mislead, and slightly confused. ha.
 
This thread is full of fail and reaching epic "Who the heck cares?" status.......

:D
 
Small update, another Freedom owner contacted me today, their Jeep was built 2 hours after mine and its VIN is 5 digits before mine. Thats the closest production freedom I have come across to mine.....might be the closest one period! Both are yellow as well. I've been trying to figure if the production of colors went in batches at the time. Another yellow Freedom owner contacted me and their Jeep was built 3 hours before mine, so the run of yellow might be true.......
 
Wow..... impressive thread revival! 2011 to 2019!

It would make sense that they would do paint runs rather than individual colors based on build orders. I imagine the process to change paint color in the assembly line function is a bit of a time delay and somewhat involved.

Yes, though from what I have seen of other recent lines the colors vary as they come out the pipeline, the next one is different from the last one, but I don't know how Jeep did it back then.

I also discovered something else now that I had these two vin numbers, the freedom production is sequentially numbered! The freedom production went by counts of 5.


After learning this I was able modify the last digit but increments of 5, and then calculate the checksum for the 9th digit, then with the completed vin number I was able to plug it into the build sheet lookup and confirm that my guesstimated vins were in fact freedom edition Jeeps.

All of these vins are from freedoms, and I only know them because I made guesses and checked with the build sheet.
1J4FF48S5YL211575
1J4FF48S6YL211570
1J4FF48S2YL211565
1J4FF48S3YL211560

Now here is the interesting thing, on the build sheet you see color, and they appear to be grouped, and they also show sales zone codes, which are also grouped. So a bunch of them would roll off the assembly line and then end up in the same place together.

The big thing I cannot tell right now from these guessed vins and the build sheet is the MDH which is shown on the door tag, which tells me when its built. So I could get a complete inventory of all the freedoms made, and in what colors and such, but tracking down the production times wont be as easy from the vins.

But this means I could also extract some data about other models that were built based on generated VINs...........
 
Ok I poked around more, I found about 300 sequentially numbered freedoms, 2wd, that according to the single door tag in the sequence I have were built Feb 4th 2000 and it seems these all went to Arizona.

Using the few owner submitted freedom vins I have been able to extrapolate the other freedom VINs out there.

For example, all of the following are 2wd and were sold in Arizona:
