My new whip

[Damkid]

This passed week i have been very busy getting my 300zx to pass an emissions test so i could trade it for this.......






A 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it has a 4.7 V8 Quadtrack 4WD and it's fully loaded, it came with a valid emissions (the reason for me needing to etest my Z) and it passed a safety check this morning

the purpose with getting this is to replace my aspire as the family vehicle, mainly for the added space it has so i maybe selling an aspire brake swap soon

Nice jeep! Too bad it isint a 4.0l, my gf's last jeep was a 4.0l with 297,000 miles on it when we sold it and it still ran perfect, she just got an 01 like yours with the 4.0l bc I told her I wouldint work on the v8.

I thought you were talking about a leather whip. I have a nice 10 foot bull whip with a swivel handle which I bought the last time I was in Denver, Colorado. I use it to chase the squirrels away.

Ouch...lil hard on gas eh?

[Damkid]

Ya it's a little worse on gas then my aspire :lol: I need the bigger vehicle to carry my 4 month old baby in, I wish it had the 4.0l in it instead of the 4.7 but that's ok

Those are nice! Congrats! You wouldn't part out that beast of an aspire would you? It has really proved itself.

Nice ride. Perfect for this time of year, but I'm with 1988festivazoom, The only good Jeep is a 4.0 L Jeep

[wybnrml]

Cool! At least you got something thats safer for a family! I have also been thinking about getting a 4.0L Cherokee. We used to have a '88 Grand Wagoneer. It was really nice, great ride, 4X4, power everything, but was tough on gas.

you wanting a SMALLER motor???? :scratch:

[Damkid]

:lol: good point but this isn't the track vehicle lol

I do gotta give great credit to the aspire, it has take an incredible punishment and it still runs great, except on start up in the cold mornings :lol: but it's starting to really fall apart and I have no room to keep it around so parting it out, scrapping it, is the quickest way to get rid of it

That's because the 4.0 inline six is a torque monster with crazy durability. I'm talking REALLY durable. 300,000 is normal for those like it's normal for the B3.

I have a good list. The list is made up of vehicles I regularly see with 300,000 miles. All others fail. It's on it.

Festiva B3
90-93 Accord 2.2
inline ford 300 straight six. E- and F- series
4.3 Chevy V6
350 chevys
4.0 jeeps

Some contenders to get on the above list. I've seen a bunch of these with 200,000 - 250,000
Vibe/matrix
Prizm/corolla
3.8 GM V6's
1.9 escorts
1.8 BP escorts
Several subarus (can't keep them straight - too many good and bad ones)

very nice jeep i had one just like it but in a different color. I loved it.

ooo ya i know the 4.0 I6 is a bomb proof motor and puts out more torque that a gorilla with a impact gun..... i was just joking around with him, him wanting a smaller motor when he has the biggest motor ever put in to a festiva lol... (not including the sho gun and that v8 swapped one...)
