So first car is two jeep Cherokees, I have a two door that doesn't run right
(stumbling and loading up) and the second very reliable 4 door so I've heard (not getting spark) and i was curios as to which I should build and use for my DD. (BTW I'm 16 so I'm in high school and not allot of money) will upload pics tomorrow

Go with the 4 door, fixing that should be easier, plus 4 doors are way better

Try replacing the TPS, cleaning the throttle body, and doing a full tune-up... Cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs, and a coil.
If that doesn't work, replace the fuel filter and fuel pump, and make sure the tank isn't full of rust and/or water.
Bet the two-door runs fine after that, haha.

Heres the 2-door got dark before I could get pictures of the 2-door
The other side has a mismatched fender but initially in the same condition except the fender is dented, also thanks for the suggestions ill try to do thos this weekend

go with the 4 door. it looks cleaner and all the body color's match. plus my guess is the 2dr was in some type of crash due to the miss matched body panel's

it was in a crash, i did replace the body panels. i have pictures of when i first got it just forgot about making a forum for it lol.

I wasn't saying go with the 2 door, just telling you things that are probably behind its issues... As far as picking one, what's the mileage like on them?
If the mileage is drastically lower on one than on the other, I'd go with the lower mileage one, regardless of number of doors or matching body panels or tinted windows or whatever...
Because rebuilding a motor and/or transmission won't be cheap... The lower the mileage, the less chance of dealing with that mess.

The four door has a rebuilt motor with about 50k on it and has some wiring issues,

Definitely the 4dr. Cleaner, nicer looking, has vents already, looks like it already has beefier tires, rebult motor, 4dr.

Why is this even a question?

I say 4 door, for the rebuilt motor.

But get the 2 door running right before you sell it... You can probably get a good bit more for it that way.

So i messed with the wiring with the help from my brother and we got it running, but still a few bits and pieces to correct.

This was the before,

and here's the after.

This all had to be redone, Ill fuse them together and have one big plug instead of a lot of little ones. also need to switch out the spark plug wires that I put on the two door(aftermarket spiral wound, i believe they were excel). what was causing the 4 door not to fire was the ignition coil. took the one from the 2 door and it fired right up.

How does it run?

Also, did you remove the wiper-fluid reservoir, or was it just gone?
