The big thing is that jeeps are cheaper to build up and if your looking for somthing to beat on you can't go wrong...I spent a lot on my X and I'm gonna be pissed if I roll it into a tree or slide back down a hill into a tree or ravine...with a free XJ (yes I know they are unibody and the problems with rolling one) or an old CJ...well it sucks for the tree...

I'm considering building up an XJ that I may be getting for free. It has 150k on it and needs to have the rear main seal replaced (dirty but not hard). For $2000 or less I will have a 4.5" lift, am SYE, and 33's on new wheels. To lift the X 3" will cost $1500 alone (lift and steering).

Maybe one day when I have my X paid off and it's not my DD I will SAS it and beat on it...but righ tnow I still have a pretty big loan out on it and I need it to get to work...
