Ok, so I'm impressed you scored a Cherokee for that kind of coin.  I'd jump all over a deal like that if given the opportunity.  I don't think it'll be long before my YJ becomes a permanent 2-seater, so I may need to start looking at building up another rig for family wheelin' trips.  The 6-point roll cage with all the reinforcements and 5-point mount bar will make it...difficult to put people in the back.

But can you beat this?  A small-block bowtie 350, Turbo 350 transmisino, NP205 t-case and a pair of D44 axles (rear spooled) for $400?  :D  Depending on how things worked out, I might have a set of 15x10 six lug wheels to go with the new axle shafts for the outrageous price of....*drumroll* $0.

Team Dodge Podge just got a "new" Jeep*: an 87 Wagoneer.  Looks like a
Cherokee, but upscaled interior and Dana 44 rear axle stock. Also has 4
doors, makes it easy for the knuckleheads to get in and out for those
cache-and-dash moves.

I like the Cherokee-style package a lot for desert wheeling.  Small, but
longer wheelbase, good room inside, narrow for the box canyons,  and a
million and one aftermarket goodies for them, limited only by your wallet.
I can fit my kids in there, and still have room for camping stuff. Good
power in the 4.0 six, and decent mileage. Pretty robust drivetrain, again
limited only by your wallet.

I bought mine in very good condition 5 days ago for $750. Already has a 4"
lift, limited slip rear, and newer engine.  They are a good value in 4x4s
right now.

I would love a Rubi unlimited, but don’t want to buy a brand new vehicle
when I can build up my current one 10x better for half the money, AND I
can extend my own wheelbase if I really want to.

all, more room, longer wheelbase, lockers front & rear.
How much for the 76CS? That was never posted.

    We don’t need the GPS, but we would be interested in info about
    Jeeps! We are thinking of buying one and until we started looking
    at them recently we had no idea there were so many models to
    choose from! Any advice to share? We do light to moderate 4
    wheeling—no boulder hopping but lots of creek beds and mountain
    back roads. We are looking for something smaller than our F150 4x4
    but still powerful.

    Also, can anyone tell me what happened to the Deep Southwest site?

    Anyone interested a slightly used 76CS. I need to unload this one
    so I can get a more Jeep friendly model.
