Default Should i sell my xj???? Read me and give opinion

Hey guys well i dont know if i should move on with my cherokee and sell it. Any way its had a rear main seal leak since i bought it a yr ago,well ran her low and on a nightime trail ride she started tapping alittle. Added thicker oil for now and she stopped tapping,i still gotta change the oil and filter. So anyway ive bin looking at zj's now and i want one. Reasons they ride great,i can put our 16month son in it,much more comfy,and better braking. The xj rides like crap,brakes pull,and the steering is all over and i really dont want to throw a motor in it. the mods are in my sig. Should i sell it and start over with a clean zj???? Heres a pic of my cherokee anyway.

I would say sell it and get a NICE xj with low miles.. my 00 xj rides like a dream compared to my 93 xj..Its your choice..I would look at zjs and xjs.. You might want to stick to a xj though.. grand cherokees ushally have a lot of electrical problem and the v-8 that is offered is not the best around..xjs are simple and dont offer a lot of upgraded uchs as the zjs .. simple to me is the way to go on a vehicle.. look around and see what is offered, if you find somthing you like get it!..

This is just the father in me talking but I would ditch your xj and get a stock one nice clean reliable dependable safe etc etc. I have a stock DD for my family and will not drive my kids in my lifted xj unless i absolutely have too. The ideal situation is to keep your lifted xj as a toy and get a new stock DD but I dont think that is what your asking. ZJ's? eh not a huge fan...had one didn;t have much luck with it. That just me tho.
