The one with the cleanest, dry, least scratched under carriage.

Are all those Jeeps 4cyl or 6? If you play in the mud alot I'd go for the I6, the manual tranny in the 4cyl (ax5) is a little weak. The last one has some awful tall shackles and the springs look flat. Stay away from anything that has more than a 2" body lift. If any have a suspension lift check for vibrations while driving. The rear drive shaft angle can get too extreme around 3-4" of lift. Easily fixed with a slip yoke eliminator kit but added expense.

 

For a better idea of what to check for go to Jeepforum.com and check out the "YJ" tech section. Good bunch of guys and lots of good info. Enjoy the Jeep which ever one you decide on and don't forget to wave!!!

Based on looks alone, I like this one the best.

the first pic is way too small to tell anything about it, but all the others (last one most of all), have way too much tire for the lift. They're all going to have rubbing problems with any decent flex.

 

Also, I second the suggestion of checking out jeepforums.com. It's a great community with massive amounts of info.

I want to see that top one. Looks like a Cherokee with an exo-skeleton and a beefy bumper.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
