opinion on buying a jeep Please help!!!

Apr 26, 2007 2 Replies

I am looking at selling my cj-5 and getting a Grand Cherokee. The ones that I am looking at are as follows.


1) 99 Loredo (ZJ) with a I-6. 90,000 miles


2) 99 Limited (WJ) with a V-8 and 121,000 miles



Both are $4,900.00 .



I am wondering how expensive it would be to build one of these up. I am wanting to put 33" tires and lockers all around. I do some aggressive trails so I need something strong. I am wondering what axles and Trans case these have and am I going to have to replace them.



My CJ-5 has lockers front and rear



33" w/beadlocks D 30 front W/cromolly shafts D 44 Rear W/cromolly shafts D 300 transfer case twin sticked T18 Trans Steal braided hoses through out.

Thanks in advance

I would just recommend making sure that what you buy has solid axles front and rear. If it has that it can be modified as you wish, but with IFS you will have a lot of problems.

Go with the ZJ as it is simplier in design and sturdier and the chysler V8 powered one can eat gas like there is a hole in the gas tank.
