Why does everyone get xj like what's better about them than the other cherokee models? And would you trade a 1994 v8 5.2l grand cherokee limited with the stuff i've done to it in the picture I have 36" tires for it but axle are not strong enough and it gets death wobble



But trade that for completely stock 2001 xj 60th anniversary edition. Good or bad trade?

Me personally, I like the looks of the XJ much better.

Well see I love the look of mine but I wanna know why does everyone else get xj's mechanical wise like are they easier to customize are they stronger I know there like 300 lb's lighter but besides that i'm clueless so what's the big hype about xj? (btw i'm not dissing xj's just wanting to know which is better)

i would make that trade in a heartbeat looking at that pic even with the head issue on the 2001

Why though?

I agree I prefer the look of the xj's specifically the early models before the body changes

jebmccall

well... with out the tj flares it probably looks good. but the tj flares kill it...

but yes the xjs are easier to work on.
drive lines can be better. example is 29 spline 8.25 over dana 44a.
lifts and other accesories are cheaper.

Finally someone who answer my question of mechanical not just looks but everything I read the 60th anniversary 2001 xj has dana 30 front and dana 35 rear which is the same as my zj. And what's so bad about my finders they looked good with the 36's in them.

One of my idiot buddies stuck it there just haven't bother to take it off it needs to come off though

I love the XJs more. They don't look like soccer mom cars.

I would trade a V8 Grand Cherokee for a 4.0L I6 Cherokee any day. All day, e'er day.

I get people like the LOOK of xj's better but that's not my point unless the only reason people buy xj's is for looks



And i've never seen a dover mom drive that no offense.

X's 2^. 4.0 is more reliable and indestructible than the v8. Never had a grand but one of my friends did and it sat in his driveway at least 1/2 the time cause of some major issue going on with it. Look for an XJ with the Chrysler 8.25 if possible, much stronger than the D35. Good luck with the search!

never1regret

Thanx but the one the guy wants to trade is a 2001 4x4 60th anniversary xj do yall know what axles it has?

daves01XJ

Take a look at the rear axle, first image is d35, second is the 8.25
