Default What Grand Should I Buy
Hi everyone,

I have been looking for a 4x4 for the last two years. Now I am seriously at the point where I am about to get one (next two months). I have all but decided on a Grand Cherokee for a few reasons.

1: I like the idea of not owning a Patrol or Cruiser
2: The Jeep Engine
3: Economy out of a big engine
4: Cross between a lux 4x4 and something that if done right can go anywhere
5: Something the misses approves of
6: PRICE

So with all that said, what would you all say is the best grand to buy for off-road (1999 and up). I am happy to get the diesel if it will provide with better off road ability. Obviously the V8 sounds better but in the end I want this thing to go offroad. Im looking at spending a max of 20k.

I will be lifting the car prob just the 2" and front and rear lockers will go in if possible. I will be looking at options to gain max flex out of the vehicle also.

Thanks heaps guys/girls hopefully I can be steered in the right direction.

I swear my Jeep was built on a Friday or something!!

Luckily now all the creases are ironed out - but I have to sell it as we need two cars now rather than one expensive one.
