I'm just not a fan of SUVs to be honest. And I know a lot of common problems with Cherokees that are not fun to deal with (if or when they were to arise). But if I were to ever ditch my ricer it would have to be for a truck. Different strokes I suppose.

Your Monte's looking slick BTW.

Thanks. The honda was grinding into 3rd and 4th, heard it was the h-fork i think, and that eventually it will break off and shave everything in there up. What problems are you referring to? These inline 6 4.0's are great.

No prob. Gotta love grinding. A lot of Honda trannys are swappable, I'd like an F22 or H23 tranny for mine.

The engine itself isn't that bad. Keep an eye on the harmonic balancer though, they start to wobble and more times than not you have a crankshaft issue. Now the suspension and rear end and everything in between... Yeah. Look out for the Death Wobble.

This thing was a family owned car, i think it'll be fine. And I just didn't want to deal with the honda, even though it was fun to drive.
