Dear Almostors
What is your advise on a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 210hp / weight 2,200kg
This is for daily use but typically targeting off-road/ desert drive.
Thank you for your support as I need your advice mainly by today if you have time to respond
Thanks

I am no expert but by chance been in a mechanic's similar model grand cherokee just yesterday and off-course was discussing the same with him. He mentioned and even i noticed there was alot of shaking in the interior although he only drives on road. He also added that it is full of electronics sensors and chips, which makes it not very suitable for real off-roading. I guess beach and badayer plain ground is fine:yarr:. Rest the experts inputs...

I was driving V6 2003 model Grand cherokee laredo. Was good enougf to perform. but from 2005 onwords the Transfer case and gear had changed. the 2005 transfer case shifting it is controlled electronicly and the drive shaft is light weight - serious offroading the shaft getting damag very fast (one of my friend - jeep mechanic informed me) and if you realy stickk to grand cherokee go for V8 model - overland. still you need to maintain a lot. it will give you confort drive-so you need to comfort your car- mutual agreement

my advise ........
dont get sucked in by the cheap price of available 2nd hand vehicles in the market ...... you may get them cheap but you most probably will end up in spending the same amount or even more to get it road worthy aside from the modifications required to get it off road ready
if you get a car which is 8 years old or older ....... expect a lot of things to be repaired and replaced ...... it comes with the bargain and the experience you will get from prepping up your offroad vehicle will be priceless ......
every car has its advantages but the knowledge of how to get the right one is an expensive investment
hope this food for thought helps
