I would like to have a XJ like that. Cool picture.

I have had and daily driven a 1994 Grand Cherokee, 1997 Grand Cherokee, and currently a 1999 Grand Cherokee. Also have a 1995 XJ for parts stashed away waiting to be parted out. There is nothing better in the snowy mountains than a Jeep. They climb like billy-goats.:)

This was a great truck and got used appropriately. It was absolutely rust free having spent it's entire life in Albuquerque. Last known location is Santa Fe, NM.

just got back to this-

I picked up a new sahara unlimited a few weeks ago- it's my 3rd, and they've always been great utility/all purpose vehicles

I agree, the new ones are getting pretty plush...then again, I did get leather and nav so I guess I'm getting that way too....

Mine's a bit of a sleeper! Old and patina on the outside, fresh and modified on the inside.

I guess big money is a relative thing but I consider the $20K of really nice early broncos "big". Do really nice GW's bring that or more? Looked at a couple on fleaBay and they seemed to be a LOT more affordable...but some didn't meet reserve at well under $10K

I dare somebody to post a pic of the new Cherokee!

I paid $3K for mine. Gal was asking $3800. It had 99K miles on it at the time. The clearcoat was flaking and there was some splitting in the drivers seat leather. Everything else worked, including the A/C that was one of the coldest I can remember on an older car.

I upgraded the ignition system, put an Edelbrock Performer intake and Holley Truck Avenger carb and did the lift, wheels and tires.

Put 20K miles on it in 3 years and sold it for $2800.:(

There's an outfit in Texas that buys clean, low mileage originals, goes through them, and sells them for around $20K.

Wow! Hugh Hefner's a member of Pelican BBS AND he drives an FJ60? I'm impressed!

I have two Jeep Wranglers
I love them

steveo12345 04-01-2013 06:55 PM

Four wheel drive is a must for my daily driver. Switched from Jeeps to Subbies about 10 years ago. Would never go back. Maintenance and reliability have been much better. Also gotta love the Subbie flat 6. Pretty bullet proof from my experience. YMMV.
