Wrangler

[Lowrange2]

Oh, yeah. I agree. I love my Cherokees and they aren't going anywhere. I just miss my convertible BMW. I figured a Convertible Jeep would be the best of both worlds!
I've never even drove a TJ. I'll be sure to take a long test drive before I buy anything.

I have had a 76 CJ-7 and a Willy's CJ-2A and loved both of those. I want a newer one. Both of those Jeeps are still in the family I just don't have them anymore.

I hear you on the CJ7; Had a 1979 Renegade at one time, but it became salt-eaten.

I actually liked the CJ, but my preference still remains.

I see alot of random stuff on craigslist around here but you can get a yj that needs an engine for $2500 stick a 4.0 in there and your in for under 5k!

 

[jeepgeek2002]

Isnt Spanky selling his TJ?

 

[jeepgeek2002]

I had 2 cj7's, 1 YJ, 2 TJ's, 2 xjs, 1 zj ... and a pear tree

 

[Lowrange2]

The pear tree had the best ride, didnt it?

 

[Lowrange2]

The one I had my eye on sold today.

 

[Lowrange2]

The guys left about an hour ago with the Liberty! It's out of my life forever. Now I can get serious about finding a Wrangler with cash in my hand!

Wait, it drives better with the ax-15 or the aw4?

the aw4 conversion has been the best mod to dads tj we have done.

 

[Lowrange2]

See, I want a manual for now. Once I got tired of it it'll probably get an aw4.

yeah the ax15 wasnt bad... it was just tired and he mainly wheels his so we decided to swap an aw4 and a rocktract241.

he had a b&m short throw shifter on his and made it alot more fun.

really any year tj isnt a BAD year.... just make sure its rust free and has the options you want.

Come to the dark side! :firedevil Just don't get an internal slave cylinder (not a problem in the years you are looking at).

 

[Lowrange2]

What years are those?

 

[Cnickgo]

Nice link! Thanks.

So, I'm looking for a 97-00 Sport or Sahara.

That's what comes with a 4.0 I'll probably just end up saving a few more bucks. Then find me one. I see nice ones for 6 grand. Decent ones for 5.

IIRC the internal slave quit in the YJ in 93.

 

[Lowrange2]

Ok, 93 is the oldest ill buy. I just can't decide. How well do later model YJs handle on the road with some 31s? Are TJs that much of a better ride if I want to drive to the beach?

 

[Lowrange2]

Beecause all jeeps ride like cadillacs. I was going to look at one but he said he wouldn't suggest driving it on the highway. Lol. Nevermind.

 

[01tj]

so u gon take the axles outta gold and put em in a tj?

 

[Lowrange2]

Nah, just gunna drive it. Ill probably put some 31s on it and drive it to the mall.

 

[256offroad]

Imho. Stock tjs don't ride any better than a stock xj. Infact I'd say a stock xj rides better. But not by much

 

[jeepgeek2002]

just sawzaw the liberty into a convertible!
