Cherrokee
 
Well I'm bored and want to buy a new toy.
I was thinking of a Cherokee. I'm looking for something to tow my Yj
to the dunes and trails. Not sure if the 4.0 will do it. I'll be using a
car dollie not a trailer. Or i might just buy a tow bar for it. I know
the Grands with the V8's will work but like the boxie look . Thanks all.
87YJ 33" 2.5
47 Willy's Stock
50 Willy's pick up stock.

Later Mike

Hi Mike - You don't drive your YJ to the trails? It's not road legal?
What are some laws in your state?

I drive it to the trails . I'm the only one that does. But with caming
gear and extra tools the old girl is a little small. And i hate sleeping
on the cold ground.
It's road legal . Just need to justify anouther Jeep in the drive way.

I thought I was the only one who 'drove what you got.' Even with the
TJL, it's a bit cramped with gear for the weekend. One of these days
I'll pony up the bucks and buy a small 8-10' trailer, put the gear in
there while I sleep in the back of the Jeep. Plenty of room in the back
of an Unlimited to stretch out for the night, and it beats the hell out
freezing your ass off in a tent when it's 23 degrees out.

I drive the heck out of it. There are some good trails i enjoy going on
but hate the 2 1/2 hour drive to and from. And it's a long walk home
if i break something that cant be fixed with twine and duck tape.

They went built to live out of. But i do remember seeing old pix's of an
CJ5 with a camper that sat on the back. Kind of like the ones you slide
into the back of a pick-up. But some tmes you got to do what you have
too.

The 4.0 will probably do it, but it's going to need the factory tow package
with at least 3.73 gears and a BIG trans cooler. I'd also be concerned about
the stock brakes.
