Yee Haw.

 

I'm about as redneck as it gets yet I still manage to be able to spell properly. Turn auto-correct off on your phone and open a dictionary. Very easy to learn to spell. They do still teach that in school right?

 

Man! You're in Alabama! If you can spell I'd bet anywun can Speel!

 

I know right? Being a professional computer nerd helps too!

 

That is fine. I,my self am a Machine technician. Been doing it for 14 years) I'm the person that goes into the machine Fabraction shops. And fixes their turning centers. When they go down. And have to explain to the owners, What happened to their multi million dollar turning centers. I very rarely point out that it is (or their hiring pratice) employees fault. So do your self a favor. Keep your mouth, shut, your ears open, and maybe you progress beyond fabrication. One of my old employers is giddens & lewis If you ever seen that name. you can google them. You will see that they are about 15 miles from where I live. By the way, you aren't Honey Boo Boo's dad are you?

 

I'm sorry, but I'm from a small town in Arkansas. I work in the woods and consider myself more of a Redneck than most Rednecks and I know how to spell and use punctuation. Being a Redneck or country boy is no excuse for ignorance. Now before you go getting hot under the collar, go look up the word. I didn't say "stupid."

 

Your power steering pump is the only part that isn't original?

Hmmm... After 200k miles, do you think it's about time to get the original oil filter off and get a new one on? That's just for starters...

And I love how all threads these days are turning into argumints abowt grammer.

 

It's the design. The zj has more head room. The zj has more foot area and more arm room. Also more room in the back seat. But not in the cargo, well it's taller and wider, but not at the door.

 

Also the v8 zj, has more lb / hp than the xj. So the xj is actually quicker.

 

there is much more to it than just peak hp/lbs

 

Sure. For instance in the mud the v8 is going to spin larger tires better. More torque will do this. Slick hills also the v8 will perform better.

In solid traction situations I think you would be better off with the lighter xj. Also compared to the v8 700lbs is quite a difference.

What does it for me is not lb/hp. Its the ergonomics. The xj has more advantages. Light weight means less breakage also. Especially with the same axles.

Like I said I have both.

 

I can spell, just when i'm using my phone to talk on this forum while i'm working or helping my wife with our kids it's not easy to make sure every sentence comes out correct. I also only have a 3.5" full touch screen phone, so letters are not the easiest buttons to push. I also sometimes will think faster than the words will come out, so occasionally they get jumbled up. I'm not ignorant just don't have the time to correct all my spelling mistakes.


No I am not Honey Boo Boo's dad. I am a diesel mechanic, what I ment by fabricating is if a dump truck or 18 wheeler needs a part I usually build it if reasonable. I have built motor mounts, hood hindges, dash panels, even welded rods back together, driveshafts, and tons more. Im happy fabricating takeing something that is destroyed and rebuild it buy actually building the parts yourself is a far greater experence than just spending alot of money on just straight bolt on parts. So I do not want to "move beyond fabrication", because its easy to learn how to tighten a bolt, but making a bolt now that is alot harder.

 

Thank you, for all the post im am trying to trade my zj for the xj. Every ones post helped out alot.

 

For me, it was the 4.0/aw4 that sold me..."bulletproof" is used alot to describe them. I worked at a auto dealer and rarely saw XJs come in unless it was for aftermarket goodies. A guy who worked there had a ZJ with a 5.2 and was always getting something fixed, and had alot of tranny problems. You could get a 93 ZJ with the 4.0/aw4 I believe the only year, if you wanted the more room and reliable combo. I also like the looks of the XJs, and they are kinda more like the original GPs (Jeeps) where smaller/ lighter is better. Anyways thats my opinion and personal experience, hope I spelled everythingcorrectlyguysthanks!!!

 

Its amazing the amount of spelling police you will find on the net.
