Default I have two Jeeps. I am building one.

So I am letting the fine folks here have a say in which one I build, and which one I part out/sell. The black jeep is being picked up tommorow.

Vehicle number 1:



Purchase price: 300 dollars
1993 2 Door 2 wheel drive.
141,000 miles.
has intermittent oil idiot light on at idle.
No heat, no AC
Cracked front windshield
Rusted out floor pans which i am repairing.
Paid 300 for vehicle, seems to drive very well.
Had wrecked front end which I repaired as well as rusted out rockers which were also repaired.
Tires in pretty darn good condition.

Vehicle 2:


Purchase price: Trade for benelli nova pump.

What I know: i have a 1994 jeep cherokee 4.0 inline 6 4x4 has 184,000 miles runs awesome

it has 31x10.50 mud tires on it and cut fenders. it is mechanically awesome runs perfect everything in the driveline is perfect.

but it needs some love to the outside. and the interior. it would make an awesome offroad rig. email me and i can send you some picture from my phone.

You can see the tires and condition and make you choice.
Do I take vehicle 2 and just use it to upgrade vehicle one or do I patch up one and sell it to lift vehicle 2?

I myself am biased toward 2 door Cherokees .

That said probably more work involved with the two door given you have rust and 4X conversion to deal with.

#2. Even though 2 doors look bada** that one would require alot more work being only 2wd and has rust issues. And you never know about a car with front end damage.
