Its growing on me but it wasnt my first choice. I would much rather have a CJ7... I just didnt have the $5k+ for a CJ... so I got what I could while still keeping it in the Jeep family..

If I could have found an older Chevy truck that wasnt in poor condition I would have probably bought that, but I needed something with a bit more room. Still looking for a truck though, living in the country you always need one to haul stuff around with.. And my next 4x4 will be a Crewcab with a supershort flatbed.

 

The fact that my first vehicle was a 93 cherokee and i beat that to hell and still managed to trade it for my 450. And the fact that i just recently got a 97 for $1200 and i just got back from having fun in the mountains. I love the desert mountains.

 

guess ill be honest too. i was trying to find a truck with 4WD as my first vehicle with solid axles front and rear and a V8 for around $3-4k. ended up finding only 2WD trucks or if they had 4WD, it was a ford with the TTB which i hated. dodges all were to expensvie so i ended up going for jeeps and i found the cherokee i have now.

but i love everything about it besides the fact that it takes all my money, leaks through the weather stripping like a *****, and has a worn synchro on 2nd gear that makes it a pain to shift on cold mornings and the sound of gears grinding is like nails on a chalkboard.

 

those green wheels are hilarious man. I give you for being "different".

 

every thing: head:

 

Most dependable thing I have ever driven. If you keep it up it should last for 40 years or longer.

 

I love the fact that I can work on it. Everything is where I can reach it, and parts are readily available.

My wife loves driving it because of it's great maneuverability, visibility and the 4WD. She just interviewed for a job that is out on a mud road, and her future employer were muy impressed that she could make it out there unassisted, year around.

 

Its paid for and it has gotten me home from the woods evertime that we have went

 

i like how much smoother of a ride my xj is compared to my tj

and it outperforms our tj's on the trail.

 

x2!

 

It runs so great that i have never had to do engine or tranny ever. These statements are pretty rare when your talking about a vehicle with 139G' miles on it....but oh no my friend, it is not just any vehicle, its jeep. Kind of random, but i also like the visibilty when lane switching, parking and of course...WHEELING!!!!

 

chop top,gutted interior, 35s,rea d35 locked and yukon axles, beat my old one wouldn't die
dislikes wont star and no sye

 

hell yeah dude and not just green, flourescent ****ing green!!!

depending on the weather, might change them tomorrow. mom is making me do chores until 5 but i do stuff to the jeep too in that time and at 5:30, im free from home. itll probably be freezing though so who knows. but i was bored.

 

i love that its a no BS vehicle never left me stranded.. i mean yea stuff broke and things went wrong but it always made it home of to a buddies house.

 

I love my xj because it gives me something to wrench on that I can wrench on. I can hot rod around town, haul eveything I need to and keep it dry and still drive through a mud hole with water coming over the hood and not skip a beat. The turning radius is unreal and the front end just walks right over rocks and gullys It's cool!!! It's like the original hummer with great gas mileage at a fraction of the price.

Totally rocks!!!!
