Thinking about getting a jeep.

Here's a few pics of mine

With the super rare Acme hardtop on

Topless, now since I got my Tacoma, once I fix my Jeep this spring, the top is going to come off and stay off probably, will only drive it in the nice weather because Jeeps suck in snow, especially with the short wheelbase and light weight.

 

that's a good looking jeep with a nice cage in it.

 

Why thank you! I love getting compliments on my rigs! That cage was fabricated by Throttle Down Kustoms and is tied into the frame because my Jeep has a fiberglass pan.

 

Unless I beat him to it.

 

i wasn't sure how strong the automatics were in those. it was kind of tough driving the 5 spd down hill without the proper gearing.

see, this is the kind of info i was looking for when i started this thread.

 

hopefully he'll get some pics up here soon.

 

I would not do that to you.

 

hey man, if you have the funds and the time. go for it. i wouldn't get butt hurt over it. lol

there's plenty of deals out there and i have the time to wait.

 

I had a 92 XJ that was a 5 spd and it was fun to drive but the gearing sucked. I think all 5 spd 4.0L XJ's have 3.07's

 

Don't get me wrong, Tacos are by far my fav ride, but I did own a '89 Cherokee and driving that thing around was by far the funnest thing I've ever driven. And it was good looking too. But unfortunately some pos from south Atlanta thought so too and decided to borrow it.

Still, I like the Cherokees, even better than the wranglers and cjs.

 

Get a Grand Cherokee with the 4.7L V8 and Quadra Drive.

Unfreakingstoppable.

 

Ive got a 89 YJ as my beater and I love it. It hemorrhages oil from the valve cover, has absolutly no power and ive blew the rear diff in a parking lot. I wouldnt sell it its too much god damn fun.

 

Meh. I'd take the power trade off and low end grunt of the 4.7L.
There's been no issues on my other half's 2001 with over 230,000kms on it. Just routine maintenance.

 

hmm...

that's wat i'm thinking. maybe not more HP but the torque with those things is ridiculous! i loved driving mine and i made the front doors removable.

 

Another one I'd be looking into would be a WJ. With a mild lift they look dead sexy IMO. I was looking for one of these before I got another XJ. Prices are pretty reasonable as well, again I'd rather have the I6 than the V8.

 

OP, I am a member of JeepForum, it is a excellent site as well.

Between this thread and going back on JF again, I have been inspired to fix mine sooner! It has been sitting for a year now with a bad carb, just need to scrape up the bucks to buy a new one!

 

Or the Cherokee Forum...

thanks guys. i'll check them out.

 

I'm considering getting a YJ once I sell my truck and boat, so I'll be joining the dark side as well.
