Hey, Ray. Slummin' with the Jeepers? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> I'll add a little more info, esp since you're looking for cheap. The '91 and newer have the 4.0L HO motor, which would be best. The '90 and older are probably cheaper, though. Just stick with the 4.0 straight-six, not the 2.8 V-6. Guys with the straight four say it's not bad, but I'm not so sure. I've got a heavy foot, too. For a DD, I wouldn't worry about the Dana 44. The Dana 35 is weak, but it's fine for the street. It's easy to swap a 44 later on. All the Cherokee axles swap.
