Haha the way you planned on building you Cherokee sounded jus like mine is. I love my Cherokee it's an overall an amazing car

 

They're incredibly reliable, in a never-leave-you-stranded start-everyday way. That said, the 4.0 is notorious for cracked headers, although there are aftermarkets that hold up better than the Chrysler OEM. If you ever do, by chance, have a problem, they're easy to find parts for, especially new, because there's so many on the road. I would put it against darn-near anything for longevity.
Maybe my post the other day was a prime example of how painkillers affect post clarity, haha.

 

Sweet XJ!!! Looks great, I dig the paint color!

 

What kind of mileage do you get with that set up?

 

I get about 12 MPG if you keep your foot out if the gas pedal sometimes more

hery did you get my pm ^^^^?

 

bump

 

i'ver herd that 98-99 cherokees are the most reliable and will need the least replacement parts? is this true???

 

I think 99's have the hated 0331 heads, I think, unless they started putting them in a little later. Somebody else know for sure?

 

xjs are kickass, but if you think the gas mileage on your tacoma is bad its not going to be better in an xj, especially if you put 32's or 33's on. Im a stick shift guy but I bought an automatic xj cuz its my winter beater and they have better gearing for oversized tires. I bought a 98 xj with 150k and its very reliable.

 

so out of 1997-2001 what are/is the best years/year?

 

Just get one my friend. As long as it says "Jeep" - you'll find out why we all love them whether Its a 1990 or 2000.

 

1997-1999.

 

so how reliable are xj's when they have lift/big tires/bumpers when i travel 40 miles a day 5 times a week? (but this will be the only year i do this)

 

What??? ZJ is the sexiest looking SUV. Stick to your yota's kid.

You got a nice looking truck though, seems to fit you more than a jeep. JK!! Welcome!!
