WJ pros and cons..
« on: December 08, 2008, 08:44:32 PM »
I am gonna inquire about a WJ..I was just wondering what they are possibly notorious for? and if there is anything that makes them stand out other than their clean mall crawler look? it wouldn't be for real rock crawling so that aspect isn't really being judged..

I like them asthetically. Nice interior and rides good. Not alot on the motor that I know of. Not alot of power I hear. But put a 2" lift and some descent tires and they look great!

I think they do have some power, not a race car, but for jeeps its power and that is a PRO along with comfort and style. Seth or Adam may chime in. Expensive parts, not a hugh selection, hard to fit big tires. CVs upfront is a big CON!

They 4.7 has pretty descent low to mid range power. I didnt realize they had cv's is that the drive shaft of axle shafts?

Donna drives a '06 WK, 4x4 with the 3.7 V6. She/we love it, but it won't never it a trail. Very comfortable, peppy, drives and rides great.

Well thats what my wife wants but I dont want to buy anything I cant use in the future (when she wants something else). I dont want to deal with cv's again.
