Default i need some opinions on what to do next!!!

i have an 89 2 door cherokee 5.5" of lift 33's i put a new motor in it 2 years ago and it only has 22000 on it! i put a new tranny and transfer case in it last year...over all ive put nearly 13000 in it since 06 when i bought it! most of it is because of wheelin it too hard but everything in this thing has either been replaced or fixed...

I want to start over! i wanna cut my ties and get a newer model and start from the ground up again! in cluding:

more lift, bigger tires, lower gears, stroker motor, and other upgrades!


now my question is should i just straight up sell mine or, find a cheap newer model with a blown motor and just switch everything over and add to it?

just curious to what everyone else thinks!

Thanks!!!!

you'll be much better off keeping it and looking for a newer one with engine problems. that way you can transfer your setup into a newer body and recoup some of your money back.

The best reason of all would be that you get cupholders in the newer ones!

cup holders would be nice!

there is a guy here that has a 97 2 door 5 speed (exactly what i want)
for only like 1850

its got 180000 miles on it but i think it'd be worth it bc apparently it was his dads and his dad dies and he was the only owner!lOl

so i called him and just told him i would straight trade him for that if he would let me keep my wheels and tires! and so far hes all about it....


well see how it goes!!!
