Dweezel Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 i've had several jeeps, get the L6, stay away from the 4 banger. their junk, but the 6 cylinder will last you forever, I picked up a Cherokee a few months ago just for that reason. I know if I let it sit for 3 years, there's a nuclear holocaust, and it's another 20 years before we can come above ground again, I know that the damn thing will start and run after all that.

zerocrash Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Get a stick if you want anything remotely close to decent gas milage, especially if it's older than 2002, because they had a 3 speed automatic in them. 03 and newer they went to a 4 speed which is a little better. Stick is more fun anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 then stick it is haha any thing specific i should look out for when purchasing? my borther said some had issues with the a/c? any one know anythign else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocrash Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I don't remember anything specific about the a/c, but a lot of them don't have a/c anyway. Look for a 1997 or newer, (TJ) they are much better than the previous generation. (YJ) The 4.0 liter motor is awesome and will run forever if properly maintained. Look for the leaking from the rear main seal if it has anywhere close to 100k miles on it. If you plan on lifting it, don't get an "X", get a "sport" or special edition model because the X has 3.07 gears and sucks with tires much bigger than stock.Here's a good source of info - http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 The 4.0 liter motor is awesome and will run forever if properly maintained.I think you meant to say they will run for ever with no maintaince. hell I had a 78 CJ-7 with the I6, I thought the oil pump was dying, it had at most 10 psi. So I dropped the pan, replaced the oil pump. always knocked so i grabbed the big end of the rods and shook them... Yeah the best one had over 3/16" of play, the worst was about a quarter inch of play. I buttoned it back up, filled it with 3 quarts of straight 30 weight and 2 quarts of lucas oil Damn thing ran STRONG for another 8k miles like that untill it was stolen. bastards, I loved that jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you can pretty much just beat the shit out of a jeep and they just keep going. I had a 93 cherokee XJ a couple years ago with 3 inches of lift on 31's and I used to rag the living hell out of that thing and it would just never die. I launched it 3-4 feet in the air several times and the worst that ever happened was blowing a tire and spilling my beer Had about 150k on it and purred like a kitten. Fuck, now I miss that thing...
