One of the cool things about running is the ability to purchase "classic" running shoes. Essentially, if customers raise a big enough stink canceled shoe models are brought back to market. During one of my runs this question came to mind... At your local five-star dealer there sits a kj, xj, kk, cj5-8. Do you still end up with the same model, or do one of these classics (in new condition 0 miles) end up in the garage? |

I'd take a CJ-5 over my Liberty any day but, finding one with the same amount of miles on it would be impossible around here. |

Depends on the retail price of each. If the CJ costs the same as all the others then no, Ill just buy a good restore for half as much. |

The new CJ-5, if it's got the V-6 engine. |

By that you mean you want it to have the 3.7 out of the KJ or.......... |

the 3.7/45RFE/231 would be a pretty darn good combination in a CJ5/7/8 |

I'll take a 4L/545RFE/242 or a 2.8TD/545RFE/242 With dana 44 front/rear, LSD rear end, air locker front end. but heck, while we are talking about things that will never happen, lets also stipulate that they need to have airbags, and on models with hardtops, keyless entry. |

No, actually I just like the CJ-5's that had the V-6 engines vs the 304 engine. The 3.7 in the KJ is peppy enough for my needs. As long as we're dreaming, I wish it got better mileage...

Up until the AMC buy-out in '71, the top motor in the CJ5/CJ6/Commando was the 225 Dauntless V6. Yep, it too was 3.7L. Kaiser bought it from Buick. Buick bought it back and it became the 231, and eventually the 3800. Those 225's had an odd-fire timing and a heavy flywheel and they were very hard to kill by lugging down the rev's. As the Commando wasn't listed, I'll take a CJ8 |
