Wrangler - What to buy?

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.
All the later years used galvanized steel for the bodies so rust should not
be an issue
Off-Road the XJs were certainly capable

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

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:
