Naw I'm just kidding, but since you're here check out my intro.

I'm Greg, I do VW stuff. My family is growing so I recently traded the old **** machine for my first 4x4. The new car for us is a 2000 Jeep Cherokee SE, 4l Auto 4x4. It's no bigger than our 1990 VW Passat wagon :




But it got my family high off the ground, and it has air bags. It will also pull a tow dolly I hear, which I use often with the help of my work truck and my cousin's P71:




Here's the Jeep, you guys know about them though.



I had just painted the faded front bumper and hadn't replaced the plastic ends yet. It's green. Whatever.

I already did a 'mod'


Just need a oil pressure sending unit.

The deal is I need a solid daily that will tow when I need it to. I'd like to learn how to get a little more fuel mileage and power out of it and maybe some stability with a trailer. Thanks!

Now here's a few of my current and past projects:

190e 2.3 8v 5 speed (awaiting a 3.2l 24v swap)



1990 Jetta GLI VR6 swap (building for myself as a daily)



My old 86 Jettalac coupe



This MK3 Jetta I once saved:

Of course I've had more but that's it for tonight!

My good friend only does TDIs, so I've been around them. Its a 1.9l and I'd highly recommend it. A friend just swapped one in his Toyota Taco.
