My kids' out grown the TJ
For all you young parents out there don't blink cause that baby you're lugging
around in a car seat is going to be huge in what seems like mere moments. My
boy is as tall as his mom and still growing. The back seat of the TJ is just
too small and we've got to figure something else out.
My wife and I are talking about our options and one of our talking points was
building a Grand Cherokee. Its got some pluses: backseat room, could be more
comfortably driven to and from the trail (4 hour drives), and it would be
unique.
But I'm concerned that a built Grand couldn't keep up with my group of friends.
http://home.comcast.net/~1redcreek/jeep/moab.htm
These are from Golden Spike in Moab. (my jeep is the one with the hard top and
the kid in the shot has added 11/2 feet to his height.) When all is said and
done I'm looking to build a Moab rock crawler that can run the 4+ trails all day
long and still drive home at night. This won't be my daily driver, but a
weekender that might be driven to work occasionally.
Anybody here driving Grands like Jeeps? Any suggestions as to the best years
and engines between 1993 and 1999? Links, experiences, stories?
Thanks

Re: My kids' out grown the TJ
Have the 3 of you tried sitting in an Unlimited TJ?
my wife had a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited. It was a sweet ride in stock. The
seats were really comfortable and made for a relaxing ride. From everything
I've seen, most of the Grands that I've seen that areset up for trail rides
were the ZJ's ( http://www.off-road.com/jeep/grand/r...ll/3lift01.jpg )

Unfortunately that isn't in the budget. If I go this route I'll be looking for
an older Grand Cherokee. Like the one in your link, thanks.
