Cool Pre-built jeep, or stock?

Hey guys, im getting a 2nd jeep cherokee. well, actually im trading my 1992 camaro rs for one. But theres one problem. Should i trade for a stock one? or trade for somebody elses build?. the only problem with someone elses is that i will not know exactly what has been done to the jeep. can you guys offer some advice?

If you buy one that is already been wrenched on you don't know how things were done and if they were done correct. Besides that (depending on your budget) you want your rig to be yours. It would how ever be cheaper to buy someone else. If you did buy a built rig then it would be the cheaper way to go. More bang for your buck. Just my .02

If the "pre-built" jeep is done correctly, IMO it's a good deal.

"Built not Bought" that's my motto tbh. I don't like dealing with other people's projects .... I buy my vehicles unmolested ..... gives lest issues down the road imo

i like building them up myself. get one thats stock, clean slate, and you can do what you want to do, then put a lift on urself to know that it was done right and get all the goodies u want. it may be more expensive that way, it its a lot more fun
