Episode 62 – SEMA Prep, Rare Parts and Fun
Jeff keeps talking about a new rig and needing more room in his rig for people. Thinking you need to swap everything from your truck to a old full framed cherokee. (Gotta have the cherokee love) you will get more room for people and the back is almost the same size as your bed and keeps tools out of the weather. With rear seats folded down you could sleep in it. And you can keep proving people wrong when they say your to big and won’t make it! Don’t slip into the jk trap! (Love the jk just to many of them out there) vote Jeff in a cherokee for 2016!!! Lol

FSJ/SJ (full size cherokee) would be good but I think he should go for something even more odd-ball. Options that come to mind include the Jeepster Commando (similar dimensions to an LJ), Plymouth Trail Duster (similar idea to the SJ), or possibly midsize crew cab pickup (dakota or frontier seem to be the most reasonable $ wise). I prefer the look of classic vehicles but part of that is being in california and how strict the emissions compliance is. What is more important to Jeff, interior comfort or lack of emissions requirements?
