Looking for my first grand cherokee

To clarify this statement, there are aftermarket companies the make custom motor mounts to do just this swap, BUT these vehicles work on a CAN-BUS system where separate computer modules talk with one another and the logistics of getting them to work correctly is next to impossible unless you are a computer genius.

The price and mileage, I didn't notice the dented rear hatch. The interior isn't ripped like the others. The one in Beaumont looks ok. I don't like the red one because it's red, I hate red vehicles.

I agree with Bustedback about the ZJ you are looking at in Austin. Low miles and a decent price. I paid $1600 for my 96 last year with 137k on it. We did a 3inch lift on it and are running 33-10.50 BFG`s The 5.2 handles those big tires no problem. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one. I have family in San Antonio. Might send them for the one in Austin if you dont buy it! LOL

IDK about Busted's personal life, but it may have belonged to his ex! OR smashed one of his jeeps. Ya know, I don't like red cars either and I can't pin down why.

Yeah, red does kinda stand out, doesn't it? I'm getting a little sick of white also. Everybody's got one. That's one reason I did the zebra stripes. White reminds me of apartments and hospitals and anything modern. I'm more of a log-cabin kind of guy. Warm browns, dark greens or blues.

How about a deer head wrapped camo one?http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5020655993.html
I like this one. Seems to be the cleanest and most well kept out of the lot. No leather but I can live with that.

The cloth interior tends to last longer anyway. Looks very clean inside, the paint isn't my cup of tea, but it could grow on me.

That's why I'm sending my mechanic before I even make an offer. The owner owns a pretty nice looking hunting outfit so I'm sure that's why it's wrapped. Judging by the interior I'd imagine the body to be in decent shape.
