    Cherokee

    Very sorry to go OT,

    But what set up is in those, are they full time awd with centre diff lock?

    Does it have a low range box?

    Comfy bus id say though, surely a lot less agricultural than mine :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,432 ✭✭✭Merrion


    Perfect for this weather....

    Full time AWD.

    Quadra Drive II, has low range. Two ELSDs.

    It's comfy alright, no more than your own though I'd reckon, it's the Merc V6 so not too bad diesel rattle wise, unmistakably diesel though, especially off boost.

    Now thats a pretty impressive system, :eek: certainly well capable where grip is low, couple that with some A/T's and that machine could put it up to some tough terrain.

    Id love to have lockers, have a rear lsd in mine, but its not the mae west, surprisingly it does still work, but not in any way compared to a locker.

    /OT

    Here's another pic to keep with the thread and for good measure, hit a little puddle down a back-road one day :pac:

    A few of the more recent snaps of my own yoke

    Down in West Kerry last week

    20130108110410.jpg



    Doing a fairly major clean on it the last few days, badly needed. Wash, detar, clay, polish and two coats of AG HD Wax. Tyres washed and dressed too along with all the glass.

    20130310113952.jpg

    On the passanger door there it's under a coat of wax..not scratches for you eagle eyed folk!

    im impressed , shes the sports wagon ;) whats it like ? and shes a diesel;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,051 ✭✭✭Tragedy


    I'd love a 159 but a decent specced one in Ireland is rare and they attract a relatively high VRT rate when imported (especially compared to e.g. a saab 93 or new shape Mazda 6).
