In-line V6 eh?

Hehe, someone had to do it

Looks awesome man. But just FYI it's an Inline 6, not a V6. Just make sure the floors aren't rotted out. Also, check to see that oil isn't squirting into the air filter through the CCV hose coming from the valve cover. Check the driveline angles and make sure the 4x4 engages smoothly. Check all the fluids and make sure everything is up to par. Just out of curiosity, how much is he asking?

id sure =love to see an in-line v6

lol

and welcome

How much?

96Cherokee113

Wouldn't we all...along with all these V4s we hear about

osiriskid65

$3400

Doesn't seem like a bad deal, but you won't know until you check it out in person. It looks like it's in immaculate condition, so $3400 seems reasonable, especially compared to what some people are asking for their mildy modified XJs. Also, do you know the mileage on it?

shawnmf

yeah a v4 motor is that by the same people that make the v3.?

Programbo

Expect to get some horrible gas milage with those big knobby tires on there

osiriskid65

it has a 121,000 miles on it.

96Cherokee113

Yes, they also produce the V5 found in the Volkswagen Quantum 5 . But the VW really came with a straight 5 motor. How odd is that?

96Cherokee113

Not bad at all... it's still a baby considering these motors pass the 300,000 mile mark with regular maintenance.

osiriskid65

so i take it the inline 6 is the baby version of the jeep engines? lol

96Cherokee113

No, I'm just saying the motor is still young... Barely broken in. The 4.0L has plenty of power and lasts forever.
