bronco 2 vs jeep

[koda6966]

4.0 would kill the 2.9 on the trails.

I love my Jeep, wouldn't trade it for anything. Even if she only gets 15mpg.



However, I still want a BII

It might be close between an older OHV engine and the ('91+) AMC 242 HO. If it was an older cherokee, the 4.0 OHV would take it easy.

You're only pushing about 160HP with your engine, if it was the newer Cologne V6 you'd be more around 216. Stock 4.0 I6 is about 190-194 depending on how new it is.

But then you'd have to factor in how the vehicle makes use of that HP too, as different weight/transmission combinations are always a factor.

He's right. I remember looking it up and they were close but the ranger won in different categories on the HP/torque. There is the weight factor of the i6. Also the jeeps are uncommon with a 5 speed. I know the autos are geared differerently in the tranny.

 

[koda6966]

Very uncommon. I've spent a long time looking for a two door five speed. Still searching. Haha.

 

[swynx]

I wheel with alot of jeeps. And I think like 1 of 15 of them are a 5 speed. When I was looking for a jeep I only found one that was a 5 speed. Believe it was a 97. That's what year mybuddys 5 speed is

I think everyone's missed the point here....



A running vehicle plus 2 axles for one days work...? Id do that even if I didn't want to drive said vehicle!

X2!!!

really? I see a lot of 5 speed XJ's... most of the YJ's and TJ's I see are 5 speed (of course)

now the 2 door 5 speed XJ... is the holy grail to an XJ lover, even better if it's a 94-99 XJ with the HP d30 front axle.

 

[koda6966]

The 99 would be the holy grail. Then you get the higher HP of the two 242 HO engines.

Mmm... I'm drooling.

I'm going to have to just find a newer two door, and do a tranny swap I suppose. Athough I wouldn't mind putting a small block in one either.

Unfortunately, anything I put extensive time and money into needs to have a frame. Guess I'll just keep fixing up my Ranger instead.

yeah that's right... the 99 would have the higher HP, the Larger U-joints in the front shafts, the High Pinion, and would be the 2 door/5speed.

I have no interest in a XJ though. I'd rather have a LJ Rubi

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

There's way too many Y's, J's and X's to keep straight with a jeep. Best to just stick with the good O'l Bll. Far less mumbo jumbo to worry about lol.

You forgot ZJ.

 

[4.0B2]

You forgot ZJ.

I don't want a ZJ lol

 

[swynx]

Haha plus the later high output models have a stronger main. My buddy said something about 2 more bolts or some crap. Plus a better head and higher flowing water pump.

Those U joints in the front shafts can be a PITA to change though. Haha.
