Thanks for the input everyone I appreciate it. Not sure which direction Im going to go. I think I will take some time and think it out. Hell I havent even test driven it yet, I might not even like it at all once I get in it. My little Impreza might be my ride for the summer.
9 speed tranny, and all kinds of electronic crap to quit working,
ill bet the rebuild on that 9 speed tranny if you keep it our of warrany will cost you a pretty penny
Won't hold a candle to a CJ.
The new Cherokee is pointless for off-road. It is built on a Fiat and Chrysler chassis. The dodge dart uses the same under carriage. It was created to replace the liberty which failed. They think using the Cherokee name will sell more. But as a "Jeep" in my opinion it is pointless

It just doesn't have the articulation that your going to want, and modifying the suspension is going to be cost prohibitive.
I would love to see one follow me up Eagle Rock..
Follow you up? More like watch you go up.Quote:
