Default Moral delima! I def. need help with this one!

OK im a cherokee lover obviously! BUT...i grew up around wranglers and ive always wanted a wrangler....


I have the oppertunity to sell my jeep and buy a 1992 wrangler with a cage 4" lift 33s and its geared 4.56

the motor has 98,xxx original miles on it! 4.0 that is! the transmission just got a new clutch! and theres not one leak anywhere!

or get a 97 cherokee (2 door) bone stock for 1500 with 180,000 miles and get a tire/lift kit for $1500

so what in the heck should i do????lOl

You sound just like me except I like the four doors. Once I get my Jeep up to par and we get another house that has room for another car im going to search for some sort of fox body Stang to start working on.

Anyways on topic: if the.Wrangler is just an awesome deal that cant be bear id go with that and save for another XJ.

Soft top or hard top? Hard top, go for it. Soft top Wranglers make nice weekend rigs, but not for the daily grind.
