If I don't keep it, I will most likely be looking for either a 93 ZJ for cheep (idealy a wood grained waggy!) or a 2 door cherokee w/ the 4.0. Either way I would make it a trail rig.

Insurance picks it up tomorrow so we'll see then.

I have a 2dr 84 xj for $700 with the 2.8 and auto. Good starting point for a trail rig. Your zj coils will work great if I'm not mistaken.

other than you'd have to replace the whole drivetrain instead of just the axles ;)

4.3 vortech, atlas II, 44 rear. :eek: :D :D
but money is also an issue, and if I personally were to start from that point, I'd spend that $700 on a tube bender and make a ride that had something more to it than stamped tin that cracks at every joint and requires the doors to keep it from flexing its self appart.
