Important

I like my 33's, it makes the jeep very streetable and capable off road. I hate having so much money wrapped up into a "toy" that only gets used a few times a year. I like driving mine to the grocery store or what ever.


same here. I sold my durango because it just sat in the driveway.

this jeep is one of 2 cars between my wife and i. its gets daily driven everyday. 35s and 6.5in and seems pretty solid.


if i had to go back, i may go with a 5in lift. 6.5in puts getting in and out just a little past a high step. its now more like a small jump. id rather have a little less struggle getting in.


that being said. i have always loved big rigs and am very happy with the way mine sits. dont think i will ever go bigger than this.
 
This is my thoughts exactly Dan, I got to the point I was license and insuring a rig that had no streetable manners and it was to the point of not even fun to own based upon my 2 trips a year schedule. I found this 97 w/ a 3" lift (cRustys, JCR sliders, expo roof rack, 17" Mambas and BFG KM2's on it. Looks clean and sharp, guy is wanting to unload it. I think $2500 can get it home. If tranny is bad, big deal, an afternoon and a case of beer and that is solved, if the rear is bad, a few hours and $100 fixed.

Cheese "will look at it this weekend" Man

I has tranny from a 97. Can bring to WF :D

Sounds like a helluva deal.

We can change the tranny at the campground, not. :D
 
All this makes me want another Jeep again. Suzi keeps saying I have Jeep adhd as I can't keep one around for more than 6 months before I trade it for something else I think I want. Maybe one of these days I will learn.

I had that problem with women for a while. You out grow it, for the most part.

Watching the latest Top gear on History and am wondering what happened to Adam F. and his Dodge Ram. In the show, they race out of an area off road and next scene Adam's shoulder is in a sling and there is a new truck.
 
Apparently I bent that drive shaft when it went through the floor.

Anyone have a front driveshaft laying around? Auto trans
 
Opening up our vehicle search to zj and wjs. I have one xj that I might pull the trigger on...just needs more work than I want. I'm running out of time on finding a good deal. Everytime I do find a deal it sells before I can get to it or the person stops talking to me...it's getting frustrating
