it's a 2nd gen, but I will take everyone's opinion, please.
a local jeep club member has offered to trade me his 01 1500 4x4, 147k miles, 318 auto, 4 door club cab, manual windows, vinyl floor, 5" rough country lift, 205/75-16 bfg ats on micky classics. super clean
I have a 99 jeep wrangler 4" lift, 33x12.50, 4 cyl, 154k miles
I'm looking to get something bigger and of course get cargo and pulling power back. I'm not into the jeep thing and I want a truck again. they are both the same value on paper. maybe a tad worse gas mileage, but I was getting close to 12 mpg.
i'm concerned about some things.
1) 4wd light - 4wd still engages normally, sounds great. no known problems
2) needs an alignment. he put the lift on and hasn't gotten it aligned yet. I can tell the toe is wide, it wonders a bit and the steering wheel is tighter to the left then the right (needs to be corrected) - by this I mean it seams the wheel wasn't centered when installing the draglink and now it doesn't turn all the way to the right
3) the a/c is known to be leaking, it will last about 2 wks and needs recharging. I know this isn't a big deal to track down, but I also know it could become exspensive problem if its something major.
okay, thoughts on these concerns...
