My guess is it's probably a 350 swap.
I've always liked the 7 and 8's. The 5's are just too short of a wheelbase and both the 5 and 6 had the small doors and short bed sides.

North NJ here, I dont see how peoples vehicles rot. I had a DD XJ that had no, I repeat, NO rust, let me know if you want to see a picture. It was a 95, drove it every winter, not even the paint had any imperfections. Now I have a '10 Cummins and a 89 Bronco, my Bronco, again is a NJ vehicle, no rust. Drive it in the winter, wheel with it, just have to properly seal everything.

I prefer to work out alone. It enables me to concentrate on the lessons that the Iron has for me. Learning about what you're made of is always time well spent, and I have found no better teacher. The Iron had taught me how to live. Life is capable of driving you out of your mind. The way it all comes down these days, it's some kind of miracle if you're not insane. People have become separated from their bodies. They are no longer whole.

A weekly cleaning is what does it. Keep bare metal touched up and keep the body and undercarriage free of salt. Neglect = rot. Care = no rot. Simple as that.

 to you sir
Just because a trail vehicle is a trail vehicle doesn't mean you neglect it.

Thinking about getting a jeep as my first car, what do you think as a first car?

If you use "jeep" and "car" interchangeably, then you aren't allowed to purchase a jeep.
Also, google: jeep wave
Its all in fine print inside the owners manual...which the PO probably dropped in mud somewhere
(unless its a yuppie jeep coughlibertygrandcherokeejkcough)

Well a jeep is an automobile. And, the definition of a car is an automobile. So I would say using them side by side makes perfect logical sense.
I refer to trucks and **** as cars all the time because... they are.

Hey, so I'm looking at selling my 2003 civic si pretty quick because I want something 4wd. I've pretty much decided on a jeep. So far between a tj wranger (probably sport if I can find one) and a 2003ish grand cherokee overland. I don't know how much off roading I would do at least for a bit, but the ability is what I want.
I was looking at this.
I guess I'm just looking for input. How is the HO 4.7 as far as longevity?

Personally I wouldn't touch that jeep. That's just me but I wouldn't ever think about even buying it. I would rather buy a stock one and lift it myself (you don't know how hack job it MIGHT be.) I've always been a ZJ guy (I'm on my third one) Those are a good platform to build off of. If you want it just for trails then you should get a tj. If you want more comfort, style, and all around better jeep (IMO) then I would get a ZJ, WJ and lastly a XJ. |

Its a RC lift, hard to hack job a 4" lift when not much needs to be done. Maybe if it was a 4 link that statement would stand.

I like the "Wrangler" body style Jeeps. Nothing like a full framed vehicle. The ZJ and XJ's are unibodied vehicles.

yea I don't know. After reading into that lift a little more, it seems kind of cheesy/cheap.
I think I'd still rather find a tj if I can get my honda to sell.

I have the RC 3 1/4" kit on my Tj and I like it. Feels clost to stock ride quality, and the progressive springs are real nice.

TJ with the 4.0 I6 and Dana 44 rear axle - great platform to start.
