Jeep Advice

It's amazing how much those old wranglers still pull. You won't see them for less than $3500 even if they're all beat the hell up. In 1996, they changed (among other things) to coil springs in the rear, and round headlights.... they tagged them as 1997 Model year, but they came out in 96....anyway... they're much easier to live with. the top/ window zippers alone are a reason to get one made post 97. Also, if you like your kidneys, the ride is SO much better.

How do you feel about the Cherokee? That seems to be a much easier Jeep to find cheap. You should be able to get a late 90's early 00's XJ for a reasonable amount, and there is just as much aftermarket stuff available for them.....

What are you planning on doing with it, PW? is this just a project car, or a daily rider?
