Gotta say I love it! Everything thing we wanted out of all the cars except for the 30+ mpg. We still have the Prizim for that.

We are going to pick up a 3rd ride as a DSM again once we have a place with a little more space for spare parts ;)

But now I have a Ride that can tow as well!

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

nice whip.

Does it have the straight six?

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

nice, doesn't beat our new tow rig, but nice. ;).
Congrats.
When am I looking up parts for that? lol.

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

Sweet Deal! The gas mileage wont be fun though. But you can pick up a dsm for that later on...

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

Nice choice. I drove 20 hours to North Carolina straight through in a 2000 Jeep, it was very comfortable and I think we averaged 20 mpg. The 4.7l V8 is a decently powered engine too.

Looks nice man. Steve does a good job!

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

Nice ride. I have always like the Cherokees.

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

IT's the 5.2L V8. You can tell even Jana feels good driving it! wOOt!

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

Yeah, I like it. I'd love it if it got better gas mileage..but what can you do. I guess that's why I went the economically way ;)

See what a front gaurd/cow killer goes for. Not just something used to proteact the front end from light stuff, I want to be able to ram a moose and not break my grill! LOL

Something like this :

That shit should kill a moose or two, nice buy. It looks pretty sweet man.

Way too pussy, Ranch Hand stuff is built like a brick shithouse:

A K&N and a catback really wake these things up. I put just a K&N in a 5.9 Durango I had and I could feel the difference.

This Jeep is the cleanest one I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. I'm sure Allan and Jana will take good care of it, although if I see it with Scorchers, it's getting repo'd. ;)

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

I think your safe on that one Steve but then again a Jeep with some Mudd'n scorchers would be a twist ;)

It will definatly get a K&N next spring and maybe a nice Cat Back, but I want to add some Keyless Entry, Sat Radio, and a Brush Gaurd First.

Then intake and exhaust, then jack the beast up.

Jana's gonna read this and smack the shit out of me later.

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

Yeah she is, take the quoting to pm. Pm me with a list, I"ll hook u up.

Jana doesn't like the idea of doing this :

They actually are selling the diesel Liberty in the US this year. 300 ft/lbs of torque and 30 mpg! It looks like a nice SUV guys, we know who is driving to the clubs now!!

Yeah, the Ranch Hand bumpers are bad ass. I have one on my Chevy truck. I think the frame would give way before the bumper would!

Re: Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!
 

Hell yeah!
The 5.2L came in the dakotas before they started putting my 4.7L into them. they are both great motors but you can find a hell of alot of things to do to the 5.2 because most of the same stuff will fit the 5.9 or 360 which have been around a wile.
I would def get a K and N FIPK try sam at Socaldakota.com (sells more than dakota stuff) and he could hook up up like he did me ( I shopped around alot because I am a poor student.)
on my truck I am getting about another 60 miles a tank out of it with exhaust and intake. I would say it is worth every penny! and it is paying for itself fast.

Great jeep! and good find. a friend lifted his 3.5 in for under 800 bucks, (looks pimp!) I could get info for you it you want.

ok I will stop on my mopar excitement.

The K&N is a good idea if you have seen improvement in the mpg. The lift...lol, he knows he won't be doing that for quite some time. ;)
