2000 Blazer. Great in the snow, but has the worst/squeakiest chassis of anything I have ever driven. It also devours wheel bearings, and has a noisy-ass transmission.

There is nothing better than a 4.0 HO Jeep Cherokee, any year. I had an 87 with 250,000 miles on it that I just sold to a friend that was hurting for a car. It still ran like a top. I picked up a 2000 Cherokee to put in it's place. The 4.0 has balls, get's descent gas mileage and will run forever if you keep up with the oil changes.
My 87 had wood paneling and all, it was pimp :supergrin:
Believe it or not, after 250+K miles, I never changed a single thing. No shocks, bushings, no drive-train parts, the 4 wheel worked great and it even had all time 4 wheel if you wanted to use it. I don't think the diff fluid was ever changed in it's whole life. That thing was great.

Tell me about it. I totally miss my 4x4 Jeep cherokee 4.0L inline 6 beast. Some day I have to get back in one.

I have an 88 Ford Ranger 4x4 that is in really good shape and runs great with the 2.9 V6. Good mileage too. The truck is fun to drive in the snow, just put it in 4 wheel and go.

low tonight , 70 degrees, winter has finally arrived, with the wind chill factor its more like 69


that'd be nice, but you pay for it everytime you order anything....and also in your limited amount of racetracks.



(i'm just trying to justify living where it was -13* not long ago and will be again soon.)
