Green Jeep:
Hi,

I've been offered a Grand Cherokee 4.0 and wonder if it's worth getting as a replacement for my XJ 4.0 that has a 4" lift and gets bashed through the lanes, is the ZJ much better?



Thanks in advance Maf

Maf..the pic on the right is a CLASSIC...

IMHO  XJ's more parts for modding

ZGs more flex but cost more to mod

The XJ guys will be along to subvert you but...mallcrawlin.com or whatever its called may get  you to have a rethink

Green Jeep:
Thanks, been doing lots of nice gnarly lanes, that one is through the middle of a golf course and the storm drain has collapsed and washed out the centre of the lane, proper fun as you have to drive on the top of the drain, the XJ has been doing real well, just fixed YJ, so now the sun is here... happy days.

I'm thinkin of stickin with XJ as it's often tight enough getting that through, firm beleiver in using the bodywork to get through, Grand is of course longer, wider and heavier and as you say more to mod, Cherokee has been very cheap to do.

for what you are after the XJ is better, the ZJ has a longer axil [ cant spell ] and are prone to break with extreme off roading.

Really??  I always thought that the XJ and the ZJ - ZG shared the same dana 30 and 35 axles. and the ZG/ ZJ has the same underpinnings as the TJ.
