Wrangler - What to buy?
Hey men,
I'm going to be in the market for a used, not worn out, Wrangler. What I'm looking for is a dependable vehicle that might sometimes be required to 4WD around the back roads and the farm. Nothing serious, though, just muddy roads or across pastures. So, I don't need a "Rockclimber Godzilla" with a 72 inch body lift and 48 inch wheels. It will also haul about 300 lbs of feed, weekly. That means a trip to the feed mill. Every week. I doubt if I travel more than 100 miles each week. I don't enjoy working on cars, anymore. I have enough of that kind of fun just keeping my old tractor on it's feet. Me too, for that matter. ANY advice is appreciated. I need all the help I can get, except "buy a one ton 4WD pickup". The parking spot in my barn is big enough for a Jeep, not a 3500 Belchfire 12 cylinder, monster. You get the idea... Thanks in advance.... Matt |

Re: Wrangler - What to buy?
95 YJ, 6 cyl, hard top, unmodified with less then 100k would be my choice.
Or if newer wanted, then 97 up TJ with same.

Re: Wrangler - What to buy?
Bill,
I think the XJ Cherokee is too big for me to get around in the woods and narrow places. I'm not sure how big the Cherokee is, but I'd be surprised if I could get one into the barn-slot. I'd buy something like a John Deere Gator, but I can't run that on the road, for as far as I have to drive. They can't be made street legal, in other words. I wish I could get that old Land Rover that I drove in S. Africa. Notta chance. That style of Land Rover can't be bought here. Ennywhey... Matt |

Re: Wrangler - What to buy?
You would be looking at a newer than 91-92 YJ Wrangler then. That is
when they changed from a carb to injection. The carb engine is nice, but it takes a kit every couple years and some odd fiddling now and then.... I always recommend an unmodified vehicle. Usually folks drive a vehicle to the limits of the modification, so that means a lot of extra wear. The older CJ7's are nice and have a fold down tailgate. (YJ's have a door tailgate.) They sit a couple inches taller than the YJ for clearance too. Sometimes you can find one of those still stock. Carb engine again though. I actually prefer the carb engine because you can usually make it run. It will even take a gravity fuel feed to get out of the bush if the pump or a line dies...

Re: Wrangler - What to buy?
I don't know, but one of the first things I noticed about my YJ, after
buying it and installing chrome mirrors that is, was how it would fit right in the parking spaces in the Microsoft parking garage. I could drive under Building 3, and do a K-turn if there weren't any available spaces. Even the rice burners couldn't do that. He wants to put 300 pounds of feed in the back. I am not too sure about that. I put over three hundred pounds of conrete mix in mine once, but I only drove it around the corner. It kind of depends on how far the feed store is.

Re: Wrangler - What to buy?
I'm thinking that a XJ Cherokee might really be what he needs.
There is a good amount of storage with the seats up and much more with the back seat down. It will be more comfortable to drive and probably get better mileage.

The first thing I noticed when the missus bought our '95 ZJ is that it
was shorter than most rice grinder sedans, and not that much longer than my 1985 RX7 [ just over 7 inches longer].

Re: Wrangler - What to buy?
The first thing I noticed when the missus bought our '95 ZJ is that it
was shorter than most rice grinder sedans, and not that much longer than my 1985 RX7 [ just over 7 inches longer]. For example, a ZJ compared to a 2006 Honda Accord: ZJ Accord ---- ----- 177.2 189.5 Overall Length 70.7 71.5 Overall Width Earle Horton proclaimed: > I don't know, but one of the first things I noticed about my YJ, after > buying it and installing chrome mirrors that is, was how it would fit right > in the parking spaces in the Microsoft parking garage.
