Finally made a solid decision on our new ride!

98 Jeep - Picking it up from Steve.

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!

brently · 10-12-2005

nice whip.

Does it have the straight six?

niterydr · 10-12-2005

nice, doesn't beat our new tow rig, but nice.

.
Congrats.
When am I looking up parts for that? lol.

A//// Guy · 10-12-2005

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

tim · 10-12-2005

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.

**Halon** · 10-12-2005

Looks nice man. Steve does a good job!

TheBlizzard · 10-13-2005

Nice ride. I have always like the Cherokees.

AJ · 10-13-2005

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

Jana · 10-13-2005

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

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.

AJ · 10-13-2005

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.

niterydr · 10-13-2005

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!

BuildADSM · 10-19-2005

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.

Jana · 10-19-2005

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.
