ride172 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 http://carsrussd.com/listing/96-jeep-cherokee/ Kind of different.. I love the vhs player. Also on my way home from Vail yesterday I saw a car transporter with two of the Jeep tugs. Don't remember what they are called. Front end kind of looks like a wrangler and has duals on the rear. There was an old 60s Chevy truck and a couple newer suvs on it. What an odd combo of vehicles.
ComancheKid45 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Ive seen 1 or 2 of these pop up online. Id yank the rear seat and turn it into a "conversion van" type XJ. Mild lift and such and have an awesome overnighter! Also I believe the Tugs were considered CJ-6's, but don't hold me to that ;)
MtnClimber Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 That would be perfect for the type of overlanding/adventuring I do
ftpiercecracker1 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Id yank the rear seat and turn it into a "conversion van" type XJ. Mild lift and such and have an awesome overnighter! Oh Hell ya! That would be awesome, didnt even think of that. :rock on: But you gotta ditch that VHS. :nuts:
johnny quest Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Also I believe the Tugs were considered CJ-6's, but don't hold me to that ;) theyre usually cj10s
ComancheKid45 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Ok that was my 2nd guess, and then there was the CJ-10A which was acctually a Pickup truck CJ.
johnny quest Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 but i believe those were only australian?? not sure
jimoshel Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 A couple years ago I saw a 4dr XJ with another XJ top on top of it. Looked like they had cut the top off at the bottom of the window posts, even with the body line and attached it to the top of another XJ. Kept the XJ windshield. Looked weird as h*ll but it was batting on down the highway OK. Had Oklahoma plates. And curtains over the windows.
mvusse Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 There's an XJ conversion like that in NE Ohio too, but it's white. Owner even took it off road at Southington Offroad Park
86customanche Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Thats crazy looking. Gotta take the backseat out and make it a mini RV for long trips. Whats a VHS player?? :rotf: actually still have one at the house and watch old tapes occasionally.
Biotex Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 but i believe those were only australian?? not sure The CJ10 was export only. The CJ10-A was for aircraft tug use. Came with a Dana 70U in the rear with a 2,000 lb weight welded to the frame. I have never seen one set up as a dually though. Those tugs wer built in the Mexico factory and used a Cherokee frame shortened. Engine was a Nissan SD-33 turbo or N/A. Chrysler 727 Auto tranny with a transfer case locked in low. You can purchase a sector shaft and make them shiftable. IIRC it was an NP208. Also, I think they only were made for around 4 years.
AMCJeepMJ Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I like the XJ conversion van's bumper treatments.
87Warrior Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Neat find. I have never seen one before! Off topic, but I suspect the snow was great in Vail? Is that true? I lived in Vail/worked in Avon for a year. Absolutely loved it!
Geonovast Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I like it, but I'd ditch the running boards.
ride172 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 The mountains just got 1-2 feet during a 3 day storm. Vail and Steamboat got the most out of the central/northern mountains. Prior to this last storm it has been really crappy with only a few 3-4 inch snows. The mountains should normally get the 1-2 feet snows overnight several times a month. It's just not snowing enough this year. But yes I had a great day on Wed. It was very cold and windy but the snow was deep. Hope the snow keeps coming.
whowey Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I saw a dark blue metallic Limited one of the high toppers several years ago. it was totalled on the inside, the interior was ripped to shreds, couldn't even get an idea of what they looked like when they were together.
ride172 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 $2900 is a good price. It's at a dealer. I would think cash would get it for $2500 easy.
ride172 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Think how good a light bar would look on it. Have the lights be the same height as the roof.
92tanMJ Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Ive seen 1 or 2 of these before theyre so cool kinda like the MJ camper
H3RESQ Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 We have one of those here local in Olympia, I see it every few weeks out and about.....
