If you are going to use the 4 wheel drive and you are talking about newer years the Wrangler TJ series are great. Look for the Rubicon package and you will get 3/4 ton Dana 44 axels with 4:10 gears and a low granny transfer case. The Rubicons also have electric locking differentals. The 2007 Rubicon is the best Jeep ever built. Same as above but crome-molly axels and a V6 from the Caravan. The regular old Cherrokees from the 80's to 2002 were great for 4 wheeling also. Different years have different qualities I pick the 97-98 but I wheel them hard. The Grand Cherokees had an option called Quadra-DRIVE. Not quadra-trac. This is the Grand of choice especially with the V8. You usually find Quadra drive on the limited's. Stay away from the old CJ's. No overdrive and they beat you to death. If you find a clean CJ 7 middle 80's all stock with a hard top you can resell them easy if you find one cheap under 3800. If you want the best bang for the buck go to the new car lots and tell them you are looking for a Cherrokee and that you are a wholesaler. These things are getting too old to resale on there lots and they just auction them off anyway. I paid 3500 for a 98 with 133k on the odometer and my bud just found a real clean 93 5 speed this way for 2600. Denver has a good market for these and you can probably to better else ware. Email me if you have any specific questions on the one's you think may work. One more thing is they made Cherrokes and Grand Cherrokes in 2 wheel drive so find out befor you get too excited. They all get crappy gas milage also.

Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
