[Randman]

It's official, I'm drooling...lol...Very nice..

Those are 35's all I have is a 2.5" budget boost to fit 35's. haven't done the gears yet, but those are the next big mod


these are 33's

And as for "vault" I have one of these:

Or you can do this:

Or if you need more space, you can do this:

Yes it secures to the seat bolts and there is another tab in the back where you can drill through the floor and put in another bolt

I love XJ's!!!

.

Straight up trade for the Stang! LMAO...

I like the XJ, and I could do a lot with this one, but I'll probably wait til I get the Rubicon before dumping a ton of money into one.. Gonna cut the fender out, do a 4" lift, go to 33's and that's probably about it..

Sick, that did away with all of my worries, it will be my next vehicle. I would do the stereo lock, the under seat lock, the console insert and maybe the glove box one. I wonder if you can key them all the same.

What do you think of the new 290horse engine, it should run pretty good.

 

[kerryp]

I would definitely like to have more horsepower, but I heard rumors that they were reducing the HP in the new Penstar for the jeeps, there is a post on the JK Owners forum about it somewhere, you might have to search, but it still has significantly more power than the current engine. I think I'll just wait until this one is gone and do the Hemi conversion.

 

[KAK]

The hemi conversion is pretty awesome. I dont think it really matters what they detune it to. As long as that engine can make 290 like in the grand cherokee, there should be a chip or programmer that opens it up.

I may just get the base model since I am going to change the wheels and tires anyway. Id like the rubicon axles but I really doubt I would ever need those either.

 

[MR Redneck]

If it aint a K5, I dont want it.

 

[KAK]

I want the 15" soft 8s:

And these General Red Labels in 33x12

Id only let the red side be out if I end up with a red jeep.

 

[TrailDust]

Although I am an absolute hater of new Toyota's (and even most old ones), I do like that "Toyota 4runner trail edition"

Ditto. For an SUV type of off-road vehicle, it's pretty nice. I'd prefer the low-range of the Nissan Pathfinder, but those SUVs have a less than stellar reliability record.

I was looking at Samurais today on CL. Not too many left.

Very true. Mine's a 1987 and a keeper till she dies. I'd suggest two avenues: Ebay (where a number of good ones turn up regularly) or, if you have a private mechanic, have him keep an eye out for you as they are often tapped into the four-wheel market and know when a good Samurai turns up in your local area (that's how I got mine).

My off road Beast...

I used to have a Bronco that I absolutely loved, but after driving my gf's Wrangler a lot, I'm a Jeep convert. We go over terrain in the Wrangler I would not have been comfortable going in my Bronco. Don't get hung up on horsepower... When the terrain gets serious, you're going to be in 4-low crawling along barely above idle.

 

[Clockwork]

I miss my old blue 1993 Jeep Cherokee that I had in Alaska. Of course, I had a 1993 Jeep Cherokee because that was all that I could afford as a young E-3 living in the dorms on Elmendorf AFB. I loved that it had 4WD, studded snow tires, and that my back seats folded down to give me more space to carry cargo. If I had the money I would have rather have had a Toyota 4Runner. Those things are worth their weight in gold in Alaska.

my beater.

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

This is from several years back. We just had the two older kids back then. We could get the four of us and camping gear for a week all packed in the Jeep (TJ).

Think I'm going to have to get a 4 door when the new Pentastar engine comes out. The
TJ's getting a little cramped with 6 of us now

 

[KAK]

Im thinking about buying any JK and driving it until the engine is shot and going with the hemi rebuild. There are allot of people putting hemis in them lately. I would love that 7.2l beast motor!!

 

[MR Redneck]

Best thing ever made with 4 wheel's on it.
