New family car. 1998 jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.9
So this is my first american car, besides a taurus wagon i had as a back-up years ago. Also my first 4x4. They only made 15,000 of these with the 5.9 360 Magnum. Held the title of the fastest production SUV, until Jeep trumped itself with the new SRT4 version. Has all sorts of options like skid plates, tow hooks, calf leather, sunroof,a computer that tells you all sorts of stuff{like your currently getting 8 mpg} etc etc. I've never not modified a car at least a little bit, but this will be the first for that as well i guess. After a few years in family service, i do hope to turn it into a nasty offroader, but that will be a while. I think its a pretty capable 4x4 as is, as i have pulled a few little dirt mounds. Anyone know some spots on the westside of town i could take this for some off-roading?

I need a fog-light, and some headlights!
