In another thread we started on Landrovers vs Jeeps.

I had to get this off my chest. Landrovers are fine vehicles. But for the money you spend you can usually buy 2 or more Jeeps depending on the models and years you compare.

I have: 88 Cherokee 250,000+ miles
91 wrangler 260,000+ miles
72 CJ5 with God only knows miles on it.

All have seen time in the mountains and mud.
serious trails rated 9+ and light ones.

I'm sure the landrover fans will respond but they have no leg to stand on when it comes to price.

Winemaker as far as ride goes check out a new TJ or Grand Cherokee these vehicles are much more road oriented than the old CJS or older Cherokee wagons which were mostly trail oriented. http://www.shania.net/shaniaforum/smile.gif

Yo Jersey Dude,
thanks for the input. I never thought of the price, I think I'll have to go and try the new Grand Cherokee.

I used to have a '75 Jimmy, that I took off- roading a lot. It was a great vehicule, with a 350, 4 barrel. I had power and it was tough. This one time, the truck fell in hole the size of the truck. Couldn't get it out myself. Somehow this towing got up there, 5 miles up the trail, at the base of the Comox glacier. I wasn't sure if he could pull it out. He did, draging it along the side of this rocky hole. I thought the under carriage would be done for. But the Jimmy came out of there unscathed.
I miss those days.
