I'm doing my best.I went to buy an XJ upto 30,000 and Mullers said do you want a drive of a KJ just to compare. i actually bought a Cherokee Classic brand new in Dec 96 and had it for 2 1/2 years and 62000 ks. so thought i know what the XJ will be like so thought would drive a KJ just as matter of interest and ended up spending nearly 50,000 instead. But hey after driving a KJ no way i was going back. Unless your buying a dedicated "weekend chariot" or "Mud Pig" we prob all forget that over 90% of driving is in fact on the black stuff. In my opinion a KJ is a far superior machine to pedal round town than an XJ. We regularly see 3 or 4 other KJs around but i know what you mean. I still get people staring and pointing, we prob stand out a little more because of the colour coding i think. I personally think a Limited with colour coding makes the KJ look a bit bigger but im sure others will disagree. Any one got any idea where we can find out actual figures (not chrysler propaganda) of the amount of units actually sold?

in Just 4x4's they have a tally of how many of each model are sold for each month. It's a classified type mag (i bought them when i was looking for my 4wd).

I knew i saw the figures somewhere in some book but couldnt remember. Does that mean i have to buy every back issue since last october and add the numbers. Now hold on a minute how many fingers & toes do you think ive got??? Maybe they havent sold more than 20 KJs........

Trying to convince the wife to buy a Jeep - been looking at XJ's lately...She likes the KJ, but said if we buy a KJ, then I can't buy my planned acrage yet .... Needless to say we aren't getting a KJ yet [img]tongue.gif[/img]

KJ is nice, but i prefer the XJ lot more.
and it has nothing to do with the front axle configuration,
but i think the XJ "looks" much more robust than the KJ, KJ looks too "tupperware"... :D
