The AMC Jeep Cherokee (sj)...
I was originally looking for one then I came across my 85. It had been wrecked so I pieced it back together.

I like to turn the "That's not a *real* Jeep" thing around on those guys.
"You have a six cyl, and my truck has a Hemi."
"It does? Cause if your engine was made after 1971, it isn't a *real* Hemi. It's just hemispherical."
Besides, Hemi engines are crap at low RPM. Or has that changed? Not trying to start a fight with Dodge guys, but I know that used to be the case.

True. Its a pentroof design. Real hemis had wedge shaped pistons also. I used to have a 413 Max Wedge.

So it's even worse than I thought! It's a shame they're bragging about something that even *I* know isn't impressive.

I have to say, I have been very pleased with how my 06 (wanna be) Hemi has been pulling. Picked it up with 37k on the clock, did a AFE stage 2 intake, Flowmaster 3" in, dual 2.5" out exhaust, and a tuner next. Pulled it 75 / 80 all the way to Moab this month.

Know what else helps a lot? The cummins! Ours pulls 48 feet worth of tandem trailors.
