I bought a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 for $2,500. Before you all scold me, just know that the guy put a brand new AMC 6 cyl engine in two years ago. He drove it only 2000 miles before he became sick and it's been sitting for a year and a half. It also has a new radiator, water pump, transfer case, power steering pump, hoses and a mid frame unit body stiffener. The only thing is that there's a slight drip from the transmission case (a couple of drops). Looks like it's coming from the seal next to the oil pan. The trans works great when driving. Everything else on this vehicle is like new. Odometer reads 200,000 miles. My questions are: What do you think about the transmission fluid drip? Is the mid frame unit body stiffener enough to keep the body in tact? I want to hunt with this truck, not necessary do serious off-road. Should I raise and put larger tires, or can I just put larger tires that would suffice for hunting conditions?

Here's mine on 3.5" on 32s.... You can see how well they fit, so another 1" in diameter isn't gonna make a difference, really.
