In this vlog, Moses Ludel shares his choices for a used on- and off-highway Jeep 4×4. Learn about the assets and downsides of the Wrangler YJ, TJ and JK, the Jeep XJ Cherokee and the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ and WJ models.
Moab, Utah, Annual Jeep Safari is a testing ground for Jeep owners. MasterCraft 4-door JK Wrangler takes on a steep rock face. The ZJ Grand Cherokee has heavy duty equipment to cruise the slickrock!
The 1989 Jeep YJ Wrangler was originally equipped with a 4.2L carbureted inline six. The engine has an Atomic EFI conversion from MSD, the installation covered in-depth at this magazine. An XJ Cherokee has overlanding potential with moderate modifications and a minimal initial price for a used 4×4 vehicle.
Jeep TJ Wrangler Rubicon model has just received a 4-inch Full-Traction Suspension lift kit installation. Tires are 33″ diameter and suited for street and moderate to harder four-wheeling. The magazine’s own ’99 XJ Cherokee (at right) has a 6-inch long arm lift from Full-Traction Suspension just prior to installation of aftermarket bumpers, a winch and spare tire mount upgrades!
