Dont buy a jeep

RE: Dont buy a jeep
What model of Jeep was it? Cuz I'm on my second Cherokee with the 4.0L H.O. and I love it...My first one went through about anything and I never once had a problem with it..The thing about the Cherokees is they rot out underneath which was the case with my first one.

it was a 2000 Grand Cherokee laredo V8 witha K&N intake, Bridgestone Dualer REVO's AT 245/75/16 ( yes they rubbed ), and a chip. I had it to about 270 to the street with some other little things done to it like throttle body spacer and such.
But lets see what i have dont to it.
123 M.P.H about every chance i had
Mudding 4 times a week at least
Off road at the beach about twice a week
Jumped it at 70 MPH once ( scared the **** out of me ) and got about 3 feet of air
Jumped it on the beach at about 50-60 ( assatuge beach in maryland)
Donuts ( the best i could do with a all time 4X4)
50 through deep as MUDD puddles and not the ones on the side of the road like legit MUD
Pulled people out with it all the time
Drifted turns with it ( only when wet)
Hit a fence at 50mph with the *** because i failed drifting once
Got stuck to the point where no tires were touching the ground, it was resting on the frame and water was coming in through the doors, and it took two other jeeps to pull my dumbass out.
And the day that i sold the car i got my first ticket for doing 71 in a 50=$160 after talking him down some
I beat the hell out of it

I think the Grand Cherokees were built just for every day cruising on the road, not for off-roading..Built kinda more like a car or basically just a people hauler...I don't think they were built as sturdy as the Wrangler and the Cherokee which were more of an off-road type vehicle...I think i saw a show once called "Trucks!" and they were turning a Grand Cherokee into an "ultimate off-roader" and I think they switched out both axles, suspension of course, beefed up 4 x4 system and everything else...It was pretty cool when they were finished actually.
