What are the next model up WH like? I notice there's a 2005 5.7 with LPG for sale. Bit over my price range but might be worth making an offer, never know.

They took a good car and made it better. Independent front end but that will not be a concern for you. You will then have to go to the other forum and they are not as nice as us.

Seen Briteway's videos? They're great but there are a few things I personally not liking too much about them...

Likes:
Great Motor 5.7 Hemi Awesomeness
QDII works well with the motor
Luxurious interior
Drives better

Not really Liking:
Front Lights
Independent Front Suspension
Less cargo space? Not sure but just looks like there's less.
More money of course

I bought a Jeep

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 V8


Not entirely what I was looking for. Was after a 2003/2004 Overland, but ran out of time to look. Very happy though with the price I got this for and the condition. Exterior is pretty good, interior is very good, everything works. Engine fires first kick every time and appears to be very good. 170000kms on it. Driveline all feels good. Suspension and steering are good. Has Monroe 4x4 shocks in the front. Near new tyres. Only 2 months reg though.

Few little issues that need to be sorted. Both front cv boots need replacing. Have a trans fluid leak where the fluid lines screw into the radiator. And possibly a blocked bleeder or a left rear diff seal leak. All things we should be able to fix ourselves.

Need to upgrade the exhaust though. Stock exhaust is way too quiet. Can't hear the engine for the tyres lol.

Nicely done Shane! Looks like you've scored yourself a nice one.

Just FYI, the smelly people are defecting light bars, so either cover it up or put it on when offroading.

You prolly need to put a black tape in the middle to split the light bar into two. Stupid I know but that the word going around apparently..

Thanks mate, yeah the light bars already gone, the old man has claimed that for his motor home, I won't need it around town.

Didn't mind the look though, was a little 'Texas Ranger' look lol!
