Grand Cherokee vs Cherokee

Hey again.

Im just trying to work out the differences between the two jeeps. Im mostly interested in their off-road ability.

1995-2001 is the sort of era im looking at. The car will be modified to do medium to hard 4x4 tracks. Lockers lifts etc.

Thanks for the help.

Thats interesting as I fit in my brothers wrangler. I would not say with ease but I certainly fit in it. I can deal with that sort of comfort or lack of. Yeh replacing those concrete slab seats that the zooks have would be the first thing I will do to it.

Hmmm how annoying. I really hate having to mod a vehicle just to fit in the bloody thing. I just dont want a patrol that much and the Sierra is such a good 4x4.

How easy is it to mod the steering wheel so that it would be above my knees?

It would totally depend on how difficult these tracks are that you will be on. The Sierra is without a doubt the better car offroad but they are horrible on road. The Vitara is a much more comfortable drive.

I believe my Tom Tom GPS is out. As my Hyundai speedo says Im at 100 the GPS says I am at about 93. I have not really checked but based on the rest of the traffic the speedo seems correct.

Its a 2000 Hyundai so I wouldn think that it would be out by that much mind you it is a Hyundai.
