NEW Jeep Owner here

[r.barn]

Had several Cherokees over the years

Good cars, great engines.

I think they are a little pricey for what they are though.
Can get a Hoe for same money and fit twice as much inside.

It was actually a toss up between the two.

A few things I liked about the tahoe was the extra room and the fact that I could probably fix any sort of problem on it. But what I was really after was somethign that I could do some wheeling with. I liked how the WJ had straight axles and a pretty solid transfer case. That and how small it was, but yet it could hold me, my girlfriend, and our two dogs with ease as well. Plus I really needed to get a car that I wouldn't be able to make fast. The tahoe would be a HUGE tempt to throw a turbo or something similar onto it, and I needed to just focus on small things to keep it DD.

Yeah, jeep FTW for some trailing. Tahoe way too big for that.

You should be happy.
Had 4 over the years. Built like a rock.

That inline 4.0L 6cyl they used to use was one hell of engine.

+1 for that. Isn't it a shame that they discontinued that motor for the 3.8L V6 they put in them now??

Yes it is, used to give mine hell. 35's no gears. Always had to run her a gear low with the RPM's screaming.

yes it was a sad day when they discontinued the 4.0L, but the good news is that they gave an option to have the 3.8 replaced with the 2.8L TURBO diesel motor.

[r.barn]

Just out of high school I thrashed one of those 4.0L's good.

NEVER changed the oil ..... ever ..... lol ,,,,, like 35,000 mile oil changes
drove and flogged the piss out of it .... like only an 18 year old can


Never missed a beat. Hadn't wrecked it would have kept on going.
