Re: 88 sport
I'd be more concerned with buying a Jeep with a 3" body lift and 2"
shackle lift than a plow.

Quite true, I would not buy a lifted vehicle or a stock one that had been
used off road.

Re: 88 sport
We have that 'dreaded' tranny in our 88 and 87 Cherokees. One has 315K
km and the other has 385K km on it. Both seem to work very well.
It is the crap design clutch that is the pain. Internal slave....
I personally wouldn't buy a plow vehicle, especially one that old.... If
I were to consider it, I would take it to a Jeep shop for a full
inspection first. That would be a well spent 50 or $100.00....

Re: 88 sport
Heh, I agree with Mike and anyone else who recommended not buying a plow
vehicle. It's not just the drive train either. That body is probably
warped, metal fatigued, spot welds popped...
Off road vehicles too.
