new(ish) Wranglers?
I'm starting to look for a used Jeep and I'm finding the four-door Wranglers visually attractive. Does anyone here have an opinion or experience with them? Runner-up might be a Cherokee circa 2002 or so. Half the price of a four- year-old 4-door Wrangler. 2nd runner-up would be an 06-ish Commander, stylistically as close to my `96 Cherokee Sport as I'm likely to get. Opinions, advice? |

new(ish) Wranglers?
Four door Wrangler are nice but still relatively expensive in the used
market as well. Mind you there is an excellent aftermarket support for them. I think as far as bang for the buck, the Xj (Cherokee) is hard to beat! Cherokee's also have excellent aftermarket support. The advantage of both the Wrangler and Cherokee are solid front axle vehicles. Whereas the Commander has In dependant front suspension and not too much in the way of aftermarket support. In fact the only real lift kit I've seen for a Commander is from a company called Jeepin By Al and is not inexpensive by any means but Marlin does have a pretty good selection of upgraded parts and accessories for the XK! http://jeepinbyal.com/cat-Jeep_Comma...-2010)-61.aspx Sure you can get a spacer lift for them but they are generally not that great is you have a vehicle with high mileage and the suspension is already sagged and bagged out. If you do look at a Commander look for one with at least the 4.7 Litre V8 as it gets better fuel economy than one with a 3.7 Litre V6. The Commander is also available with the 5.7 Litre HEMI V8. The other Jeep you might consider is the newer Jeep Liberty (KK) Looks like a scaled down version of a Commander and is also quite capable as an off roader despite what some Nay sayers have to say about them.
