Name's Ray.

Yes I am sort of decided on the Cherokee. Cost, space & ride are my primary considerations.

The Grand Cherokee's are simply too expensive and I've seen what they look like after 4-5 years of use and IMHO it aint pretty especially for what they cost (a fluke couple of rigs maybe)??

Also, I want to be able to drive 1800 miles to the trail head then drive back at the end of the run w/out towing the rig. When I rode in my friends 97 TJ, w/ 33's just around town, I felt like I was in a massage chair on steroids gone awry! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I don't recall which suspension lift kit he got but I can ask him if you want. I do know he paid $$$$ for a 4-5" suspension lift w/ new coils & new arms all around. Maybe I've been spoiled by my monties ride.

Also, for now, I'm really just looking for a decent daily driver that I can decide to build up later. So far I'm considering the Cherokee, Toy Pickup or Taco. Heck, I'm even considering a VW Jetta, Golf, or GTI but not for a build up unless it becomes a pocket rocket <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />.

Budget's of course another factor and with my Monty needing an engine rebuild then build up (dif gears, xcase gears, body lift, 35's) that limited to $1-2k max for something that will be a basic daily driver that's reliable and if it breaks down, easy to fix.

Hmmm maybe I need a bicycle. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
