HELP deciding which ZJ to buy 2001 4.7L Limited or 2004 4.0L Laredo, more inside
 

Hi Folks,
got a friend hooked on JEEPs after I got my 1995 4.0L ZJ Limited.

Here is his/our predicament He went shopping for a 1995 and was talked into
trying a 2001 limited and fell in Love.

The Jeep in question is a 2001 Limited, 4.7L V8, Quadra-Trac II, with
everything and 56000KM for CDN$25995.

Now, I spoke to a friend who owns a car wholesale dealership and he has a
2004 Laredo 4.0L, same equipment except no sunroof, no leather. and 30000KM
for CDN$31000.

My Friend does 95% Highway miles and averages about 50000KM per year. No
off-roading but he is often driving through snowstorms to get to client
sites etc. Hence the need for 4WD.

Financing the 2001 for 5yrs yields $500/mth, and the 2004 for 6yrs yields
$515/mth. all taxes etc included.

I am leaning encouraging him to get the 2004( yet to test drive), but that
2001 he has driven has him swooning.

we decided to solicit your opinions.....

so let her rip Folks...

Paul
1995 ZJ 4.0L Limited

The current incarnation has nothing much more than the name in common
with the ancestral block.

So you didn't know about the hemispherical combustion chamber that both
engines have? Today's Hemi is just a more modern version of the Hemi of the
60's that I grew to love... and it is, regardless of what you think, a
"Hemi" engine.

Well they made many changes, a big one in '66 that a friend has in
his '55 Chevy Pickup: http://members.aol.com/FranAngRenteria/frank55.jpg
Along with a new Ram to compare:
http://members.aol.com/FranAngRenteria/frankRam.jpg But the basic
hemispherical design really hasn't changed, other than the parts won't
interchange, but without me telling you this is the new one you couldn't
tell: http://www.----------.com/hemi_cutaway.jpg Well, maybe the extra
injectors.

What the modern "hemi" has in common with the older hemispherical
chamber'd mopars is the name...a very valuable name, becoming a
brand name all of its own. And yes, I know the difference between
a wedge head, a ram head, a hemi head, etc. etc. etc. 'twas a
DC person who made the statement that the new hemi [which has far
more actual horsepower per cube] pays homage to the older generation
but is not a descendent.

I can remember a few hemi's up around Grand Junction, Moab, etc. that
displayed the legendary performance. All were in dealer hands and
never did see one on the streets. Most of the nutcases tended to run
the ram 426 on the street--easier to keep in one piece. Of course one
of my ex-cow orkers had a Keith Black 426 ram with B&M hydro and used
it to commute between Moab and Green River to work....you could watch
the gas guage creep downwards on the highway.
