Well I just like the rugged feel of a Jeep. Although a lot of it is stuff I can't explain really. I drove a 95 Grand Cherokee limited all last winter and loved it lol.

yea i know what you mean, althought i like the rugged feel of a cherokee, not necessarily a grand cherokee, ive never really been all that much of a fan. i had a 1998 cherokee 4.0L before i got my allroad and that thing was a beast, didnt have it lifted, but i had a banks power exhaust manifold and full flowmaster exhaust, and bfg all-terrain ko's. that thing dominated the trails in the woods and dunes just behind my house back home, i got stuck frequently only because of lack of ground clearance. i rhomped the hell out of it tho, those straight 6's are the ish man, i had 170,000 on mine and never leaked a drop of oil. thing was buff.

I rolled mine to the 200k mark. It's been through everything water, mud, fire... yes yes i did just say fire. When our shop burnt down in February 2 years ago it was in the building and the roof fell on it. Got hot enough it melted the hood emblem and made it look all bubbly. All the water they used to put out the fire was a sheet of ice all around and inside it cuz the windows were down. We dried it out really well replaced the Infinity amp replaced the speakers and kept on going. Only times the thing has ever given me trouble is when I drove down a flooded road and it died on me ended up starting again 15 min later. Then somebody put e85 in it and it ran really rough on it but never had any engine problems really. Well except some long over due tune up items but that doesn't count. I have only had it stuck 1 time when I thought it would be a good idea to try and climb a big pile of plowed snow lol. I have had to pull my friends 05 Dodge Cummins 4x4 king cab out of 2" of snow w/ it and it handled it like a champ. Plenty of tire spin but come on it was up against this HUGE truck on a sheet of ice lol.

thats crazy about the fire, not even hell could stop that thing. yea man me and my buddies used to go comb the beach for stupid *** tourists who think they can drive their soccer mom minivan on the beach then they get stuck, we oull em out then they give us money, it was great fun. someday i would love to get another straight six cheokee and bomb the hell out of that thing on some of the logging roads up from where i live, just bash the sht out of it.
