Cherokee or the Subaru. You can get a nice a nice WJ 4x4 with the 4.0HO for your price range although the Subaru's are neat cars. We have a newer Forester and I've had several jeeps. You can't go wrong with either. The Subaru AWD will be easier to get around with in bad weather.

Granted it's a 2wd...
Side question: How much is it to convert to 4wd?
converting to 4wd usually won't be worth doing vs. the cost difference between just buying a 4wd heep to begin with

Total pain in the ass when you can throw a rock in any direction and find clean 4x4. Your best bet if you have space, time, and want to stay fairly stock is to buy a complete wreck to get all the small stuff and scrap the junk you don't use.

but the fact that you'll pay an extra thou or two for a clean 5sp vs. auto will pay for some gasolines

I'm going off of a dozen or so that I've dealt with. The 4wd autos are HORRIBLE on gas.
Plus the 5 speed are a crap load faster, less maintenance, less chance of a tranny rebuild in the near future, etc. They're tough to find. I'm buying the next one I find on principle.Last edited by ThreeFingerPete; 11-04-2011, 08:57 PM.

Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
