sorry for your loss. jeep cherokee's and toyota pickups are nice. you can get a little better mileage from those.

 

Grand Cherokee would be a nice buy. There are a ton of WJs around here for not much money. The 4.7 V8s have real good power (thanks to the vehicle weighing in at around 3800 lbs) and decent fuel economy. I have the 4.7 HO in my '02 Overland 4x4 and before lift and aggressive tires I was getting 17/22 and have even nipped 24 mpg on trips. The 2" lift and A/Ts cost me a little but I can still hit 20 on the open road if I can stay off the damn thing. The other nice thing is the WJs ('99-'04) had a SFA...

 

thats my daily driver. 94 toyota pickup 4x4,31" tires,22re,5speed. kinda small but i get close to 25mpg. i havent even drove my dodge for a couple months. started it a couple times, thats it.

sorry to hear about your loss.

 

thanks guys. toyota is my first choice but i can only find 3 with in 100 miles from me. one is a 22r 5 speed blown motor the other 2 are v6 automatics. so unfortanly there goes that idea. ive also been concidering an older yj. i found a pretty nice one for $2500 its got the 4.2L and a 5 speed. going to look at it in the morning.

 

my sister's 95 zj gets about 16 around town,, 4.0 and like 68,000 miles

i really like the xj's i been looking for the right one to buy

.....I LIVE IN OHIO WE USE SALT..... not sure were u are at

i got two buddys with yj's, really really check out the frame for rust... in the rear by the shackle mount in the frame they like to rust there frist,,, but they rust all over,, floor pans to

also 4.0 are very good motors, but sum time have a ccv problem and will have oil going into the air fliter,,, xj floor pans like to rust out to

happy hunting!!!

 

ya we use salt here too. i live in wisconsin. but thanks i honestly dont know too much about those yj besides the floors rotting out. and as far as xjs go ik a little more i had an 86 about a year ago that had no rust. if it would have had a 4.0L never would have sold it. in had that crappy GM 2.8 V6

 

well just wanted to tell you guys that i picked up a toyota today. its got a 179,000 miles 22re 5 speed reg cab 4x4. its got a cap with it plus a heavy duty rear bumper body is a little beat up not to bad, but i picked her up for $2050, and the only thing ive done is replace the blown speakers. but i happy with it and she seems to get the milage i was after so i did good plus i got an extra 950 bucks in my pocket. the only thing i might do is add a tachometer. if you guys want i will post some pics tomorrow

 

Sure, why not? What year is it?

 

The 22 motors are indestructable. There was a video an acquaintance of mine put onto the internet. I cant remember the exact circumstances but he emailed it to me after we did some work on his buggy. Anyways, it's now a 3 cyl.
