Default what xj do i keep?

ok well heres the deal, i just picked up a bone stock, cherry 92 xj larado 5speed..always wanted a 5 speed..now here is the problem i have my 98 lifted, locked, hand fabbed bumpers all the good stuff i have posted here it is loaded but... automatic 190k and was smashed in the nose...

my options:

1. sell the 98 for hopefully $3000 and start over with the 92

2. get the 92 do a 2in lift and throw some wheels and tires on (i have some 31s on the original wheels off my 98) clean up and off the 92 for profit...but that defeats the purpose of getting the stick...

3. sell something else (turbo trans am, street bike,or quad) and end up with 2 xjs and make the automatic rediculous wheelin rig and keep the stick for a driver (5 speed far better on fuel) but do i really need 2

If you have to come on here & ask what to do with them, sell tham both. You don't deserve them.

X2 I couldn't agree more. Personally I would also sell the trans am, I hate driving cars. Hell I can't stand driving my wife's Wj because it feels so low to the ground.

I don't see why everybody likes harleys so much......WAY to much money for what you get. I like to be different so I'd go with a Victory.

No, I have one, but it's a vacuum cleaner for all my spare money ... and my not-so-spare money. There were times I had 2 Jeep stationwagons simultaneously. And I certainly use the one I have left. And baby it. And wheel it. And pour money into it.

So yeah ... I do & I do.

Tell me where I can pick one of yours up & whichever it is, I can prove to you that you should have kept it. "Spin" is my thing. I can make a case for whatever you need. It's simple: 1 DD & 1 wheeler. Nothing else matters. Lose the turbo ... you don't race it anyway & gas is too hi to have a vehicle that can't rescue anyone in a natural disaster. Must at least have dual purpose or it's useless. And why would anyone want a street bike when you have a Jeep? You can't even ride it on a rainy day or in the winter. What a waste. :-\

Am I getting thru to you?























heh ... I'm cracking myself up over here.
But seriously ...

Actually, I think you're confusing everyone. And street bikes are definitely not a waste. You think wheeling is fun right? Well not everyone does. Riding a street bike may be fun to them. And yes, you can ride a bike in the rain or winter. A guy I work with rides his bike year round.

What the hell are you talking about turbos for anyway?
