My first was a 1998 Grand Cherokee with the 5.9 V8 in it. That thing hauled ass for what it was. Bought it before I could drive for 2000 with 147k on it. I got my liscense and beat the piss out of it you could say and eventually bent the axle, sold it for 1000. Guy I sold it to fixed it up and sold it for 3700.
That brings me to my 2003 Ranger, love this truck and will probably never get rid of it.
