i just called the dealership, they want 9 for the 98 and 12 for the 00, they both are fully loaded with everything. need some advice quick, mom is prbbly looking at them today. anybody????????

 

well if you can afford either go with the newer one with fewer miles!

 

what all should i look for in them, i dont know much bout yotas, ive only worked with older stuff. and where can i get some parts for it, header, intake, stuff like that. thanx

 

Get yourself an old jeep, if your not shooting at the Taliban..you'll be sleeping in a fox hole soon.

 

engines are very good in these.. bruizer wtf? dude we arent a jeep forum. look to see if you can get the 00 for around 10.9 or so if possible. go with the one with lesser mileage..

 

Check to see if the 00 has the TRD package, you get the bigger tires, better suspension and the much coveted E-locker. There will bve a switch to the left of the steering wheel if it has the locker. Which dealership? Most have a web site. Good luck.

 

i talked to my mom and she said that the 00 needs body work, and hes firm on 12 for it, idk why if it needs body work, also its gonna be easier to get a loan for the 98, what should i look for on the 98 since it has 123thousand on it, what all should i do to it maintence wise, it will pass MD inspection, which is one of the toughest ones, but should i just do the same ole as with anything else, Fluids, plugs,wires ect. thanks for any advice. and the comment about living in fox holes.............w/e, it aint right to joke bout stuff like that, tell that same thing to any salty marine just back from the sand box, and let me know what happens............lmao......................

 

If there is no records then change all fluids, a good tuneup, it will probably need new shocks, belts and hoses.
