I guess it would depend on what you want,for me the 93 would be a distant memory and fading fast,Is the trany in the 87 an ax-15?

yea that is quite the decision.... my first cherokee... before i sold it i had it set on 3.5" lift and gutted interior and a locked rear axle.... i then sold it for $350 to buy a diff project, which ended up being a pile of junk... frame rotted away a month later. and i have since regretted it every once in a while.......

so all i could say is what is more important.. a dd or a trail rig??? what fits your needs more?
