blue looks a lot beter!

very nice...




5spd? :confused:

i have a jeep grand cherokee (automatic)
and im thinking about getting a wrangler... i would use it to pull my trailer, and offroad... would you recondmend one for me? they seem pretty cool, how good are they on gas? i was going to get that or just get a nice pickup truck

Thanks, I like the blue much better too. I suggest one all the way, but make sure to get a 4.0L. The first year for the 4.0 was 91, before that was the 4.2. I have the 2.5L 4 banger, and it sucks gas because it has to work too hard. I pull down 15-16 in the summer, and this winter I hit a low of 10.8. The 4.0 will do much better on gas. I've heard of people getting into the mid 20's with them. I'll be swapping in a gm 3.8L v-6 next year, should really help the milage. For towing they are great, as long as you dont expect too much. They have great torque, and nice brakes. Keep in mind it is a light, short wheel base vehicle and you will do fine. I towed a suburban behind mine, but that was way too much..lol. A 4 wheeler or 2 should be fine. Off road..well, its a Jeep. I hit a stump really hard this winter on the trails, and all that hapened was I tweaked a leaf spring. If you have any other questions, let me know. I've been all through this thing.

so waht did you use to paint the jeep? im thinking of repainting my Elky myself because i dont have 2500 bucks lyin around to have it done and that and ive never taken this car to a shop before. if i cant do it myself i shouldnt have it done. im going to do a candy metal flake red and a pearl white for the stripes. waht all equipment did you need? i can get the paint no problem but i would need a gun and a compressor.
