who's wife drives a grand?
I see loads of wranglers and other rigs which is really cool but I was wondering how many grand cherokees are actually around all the members. Especially lifted ones. I know jessy05lj's wife has a lifted 04.. and if I'm not mistaken there are 3 registered.. am I really the only ZJ on here?
Mike (WJJEEPER) has one, but he moved to Missouri (correct if wrong). I saw a nice one on 33's today gettin on 285. If I had the money and needed another comfortable rig, I'd check those out. Built up they look pretty sweet.
Boy, Matt(zj98)...I am not sure how to take that. I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee as a DD, but ain't nobody's wife...
Lol I asked about wifes cause of the crap that I usually get haha but u know what I meant.. is your dd limited? Laredo? Stock?

Yeah, just giving you grief..
I had to go out and look. It's a Laredo. I actually bought it from my SO, LaDawn, as she was selling it about the same time I was looking for a non pick up DD. Didn't get a huge deal on it as she is such a capitalist....Nice, well maintained rig (I should know. I have done the maintenance on it...) and works for what I need it to. I wanted (and still do) a Tacoma, but the $$ aren't there. This is probably the 4th or 5th Jeep I have owned, all with the Wagoneer/Cherokee/XJ style bodies. Best of the bunch was a 74 Cherokee with the V8, actual frame, Dana 44 front and rear, etc. Last was a 1991 Cherokee.
I haven't done anything to this one, nor do I plan to. I wanted to stay away from the pick up stuff so that no one asks me to help move them, or be able to pick up 50 sheets of drywall...
yeah I guess 4runners get the same crap lol
but hey, if you ever need any help with the grand let me know. im glad to help. Goes to everyone really.. i just know a tad more about grands tnan yotas etc
Thanks! That is good to know!
anytimewouldnt mind learning about the toyotas either though my dd is a yota actually =D
Bruce (EldoradoFJ) and a couple of folks are planning on a front axle R&R day coming up soon. Since the Yota arrangement is a bit different than a Dana, it might be worthwhile connecting with these guys when they do this. Not brain surgery, but there are some basic weird differences. One time watching this and you will be pretty dialed into the Yota front axles. Rears are so close to a Ford 9" as to make no difference....just a smaller version.
About the only "speciality" tool you need is the 54mm hub nut socket.
i think your truck is pretty bad-arse....
X2 Larry!
my wife drives a 1998 grand cherokee laredo with a 5.2 and now a rear end that is going out lol. makes alot of noise so iam just gonna tear it apart and put all new bearings in it.
My wife drives a 2004 wj with 4" lift and 32" tires!
Yeah bearings are notorious on those.. that's why I threw mine out like first day
nobody carries the bearings in stock around here for some odd reason they have em for the dana 35 but for the dana 44HD noooooooooooo they all gotta special order em
