I just cant stand the way they look lifted or not. to each his own. Also the gas mileage is on par with a chevy truck 4x4 i used to own. OUCH. good wheeling to you.

 

Also, Zj lift kits, bumpers and other stuff usually cost
more. Ide buy a Zj if i had the money lol
and have 2 jeeps!

 

Not every ZJ has heated seats or a v8. It depends on the trim level and the later XJs had all of the same stuff as an option except the V8. My 95 ZJ Laredo has power windows and door locks, cruise control, rear wiper, and aluminum wheels. It has the 4.0 and a 231 transfercase. It's pretty much a bigger XJ with coils in the rear.

 

You can't stand the look of either jeep? Yet your a member on cherokee forum? Hmmmm... ha ha and when my jeep was stock I was gettin 24mpg with the V8.

 

no. I love the way my xj looks. 28mpg? wow

 

stick with the jeep you already have. the problems with the grand cherokee is that you dont know what they are. It could be a great running jeep or have problems that you wont know about untill its 3 months later. you never know why the person sold the jeep in the first place but no one will sell a perfect car these days. I would stick with what you have because you have put money into it running good and the only thing you know about the zj is that it has such n shuch parts. One thing my father told me is that if it has offroad tires and offroad parts, its a safe bet to say its been offroad and its been in rough terrain. Your better with your stock tires and lift because you can more likely say your jeep hasnt been abused. I say build the xj rather than buy a zj. Built not bought is what its all about. In the end you will know exactly what your rig can handle and have more confidence on the road and off.
