anyone into 4wheelin???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That guy was really lucky. I once launched an old cherokee I used to have off a jump at the local dirt bike track. Lucky for me, I took it easy and only jumped it a few feet in the air. The thing instantly nose dived and landed on it's front bumper. Maybe cherokees are more nose-heavy than a suzuki, but if I tried what that guy did, I would probably be dead now.:grinno:

whats the cheapest i can find a good jeep like yours for road and off?6 cyl.man.

Depends how bad of a peice of **** you want. You could probably find one with the floors rotted out of it(common problem with body lifts) and major oil leaks for a couple hundred.

No but for like 2 or 3 gs what could you get,and how much for a reliable daily driver used.Is high miles real bad with jeeps?
 
hard to say, If u want a cheap wheelin vehicle, a YJ is a good choice. Its tuff to tell you the cheapest, only because there are so many factors involved in the Jeep, especially the YJ. the 2.5 and the 4.0 motors run forever, so dont focus so much on the odometer, check for rust on the floorboards, and on the chassis (around the steering box and on the bottom side of of the chassis above the rear wheels).
I think, you could find a Jeep for $1000, that has under 190k miles, with minor rust. But i would be a little hesistant keeping it as my daily driver. I paid 3grand for mine. It had no rust, 185k miles, and a 4cyl.

to answer your question, im going to say 1500....and if you are serious about buying a jeep a few more hints..test drive it, look for oil leaks, look at the chassis (where i said) for rust, and DO NOT BUY A JEEP THATS ALREADY LIFTED!!
 
You could get a real solid vehicle for 3 grand, i did. Or, you could get a pretty decent Jeep for 2, and spend the other half either fixing it a little, or lifting it

yeah this one has the 5.0/302 would like to have the 5.8/351 but i cant complain

From what I've heard the 302 is 10 X's better ...
 
the 302 is a sick motor!! nothing against the 351, but the 302 for its size is better in my opinion this motor is better then the chevy smallblock. alot of the parts for the 351 can either bolt in, or be modified to fit in the 302, and w. a mild bore and stroke job, you could get this motor to 320Hp, not to mention the NP435 will bolt up to it!
