I just got a new toy last Friday.

Image

94 Cherokee Laredo 4x2, auto, 4.0

Now to decide what parts I want to swap with my 85 Cherokee to make 1 good rig! Trying to decide between pulling the manual trans & 4x4 front end from the 85 & putting into the 94 (is that even posible?). Or pulling the 94 engine, and putting it into the 85.

Image

Over all both rigs are in good shape. The 85 has a tired engine. The 94 has a history of auto-trans issues. What-cha all think?

Keep the Cherokee and swap in a used/rebuilt I6. Less work than swapping in a whole new drivetrain in the 94 GC.

After looking at stuff, I think I agree. I like the old beast, 210,000 miles +. It has kinda grown on me. Thanks for the input.
