I'd vote for an LJ too...but they are getting expensive...like Scramblers...

I would love an LJ, but yeah the price will never let this happen. Remember this will be a trail only rig and never see the street. I already have one car thats on the verge of not being street legal.

I vote YJ... XJ’s sure are cheap fun though with minimal mods.

Its a tough choice between the 2. I have never really seen an XJ that did well on a tail other than a few highly built ones which could be an option....but do I really want to cut up the whole body.

Yjs are cool looking. But I think they're 4 wheel leaf springs. May not be the most comfortable off-road ride.

I am planning on a comp cut and some kinda shocks so not too worried about leafs....however I am very curious about how leafs work since I have been impressed by the flex of some truck builds.

Starting to slowly look at options for a new rig. Plan to keep it very simple since it will not be driven on the street anymore since I dont want to worry about inspections or any of that hassle.

Would you get a YJ or Cherokee.....? Not looking to spend a lot and depending on what I can save up, I would like to buy something that is already semi built.

I like xjs. But don’t like the unibody. Yes you can do stiffeners. But they still twist. I’d do a yj or tj

Considering my budget of 2k or less.....preferably 1000....its gonna be hard to find anything half decent. I know thats not much to spend....but I have my reasons for keeping it super cheap

My buddies always give me shit for spending so much on a Jeep... and I get it. XJ’s are cheap fun... (or expensive depending how far you take the build). And if I lived closer to the dirt and taking my family on long trips wasn’t a priority....I’d probably have an XJ.... One thing for sure is they ALWAYS have a blast with their XJ’s/WJ’s... I’ve seen stock ones picked up for $500.

I will end up spending a lot in the end, but this is a trail only rig and wont be street legal since I have the trailer. I dont want to deal with PA laws anymore which is the main reason I want to stay cheap at first. Kinda dumb having 2 vehicles that just sit and are built for very specific things. I mean I can drive the bmw on the street....but its kinda pushing the limits of what is legal.

I've kicked around building an XJ as a long term project vehicle for shits & giggles but then bought the JL and all that went out the fucking window :crazyeyes:
An XJ would be a blast. If I ever came across one that was a good deal I might still end up doing one someday. It's hard finding one around here that isn't a rusted
piece of shit tho...

Let me know if you see anything over this way that I could check out for you if need be. :thumb:

Anyone care to comment on the 4 cyl motors? I know it wouldnt be ideal but that can always be changed later down the line for a v8 in a yj/tj

I keep reading and hearing how durable they are. Of course less torgue and hp than the JK. What's great if a great engi e they are in the XJ's as well. Just gotta worry bout the axles. I'm not an expert.
