From my knowledge the Grand Cherokee's more of a Luxury suv with bigger engine options..since i'm no hardcore Jeep nut, you may have to get some of the fanboi's in here to confirm this.

Yes. They are completely different vehicles. That's like asking if there is a difference between an Accord and a Civic.

body/interior, engine options and rear suspension design are the biggest differences
grand has coil springs and disk brakes front and rear
cherokee has leaf springs and drums in the rear
grand has V8 options
cherokee can be had with a manual trans
all grands are 4 door with auto trans
cherokees are 2 or 4 door...

little bit better braking with 4 wheel disks - but its also a heavier truck so...
coil is supposed to have a bit smoother ride - but you most likely wont notice much of a difference at all

Different types of suspension bro. They entire way they feel on the road is different. The Jeep is more rugged. The Grand Cherokee feels like a trip to your kids soccer game.

That's illegal.

It would only be paying themselves if the government was buying the cars at face value. Otherwise this would be known as a "sale".

WJ sounds like a better fit for what you're doing.
Don't expect the worlds smoothest ride though. Short wheelbase can get things hopping pretty well on a bumpy road.
somebody recommended that i go for a 99-2003 grand cherokee. why did they choose those years?

Jeep Model Designations
"YJ? TJ? XJ? What do those mean?"
That's a question that gets asked a lot by newcomers to the Jeep world. In an effort to simplify the answers that people must continually post the the various Jeep lists, I'm creating this page. The ?J terms that people use are actually the first two letters of the body style designation assigned by Jeep to each major body style revision. I know I'm leaving out some models and a lot of production dates, so holler if you've got info not listed here.
MA - The original prototype Jeep submitted by Willys-Overland for the military contract in 1940. "M" stood for "military"; "A" for the first model.
MB - The revised model first mass-produced by Willys-Overland for the military in '40-'45?. "B" stood for the second model.
GP - The original prototype Jeep submitted by Ford for the military contract in 1940. "G" indicated government issue; "P" indicated an 80" wheelbase reconnaissance vehicle.
GPW - The revised model first mass-produced by Ford for the military in '40-'45?. It is virtually identical to the MB (the "W" stood for "Willys' design").
M38 - aka MC - The next generation military Jeep by Willys ('50-52), similar to the civilian CJ-3A. Like all of the above models, it was a flat-fender style.
M38A1 - aka MD - Basically the military version of the CJ-5 ('52-'71). Unlike the CJ-5, it had the front shackles behind the springs instead of up front.
M170 - Similar to a military version of the CJ-6. 4155 of them were made in the mid-50's and early-60's.
CJ - The first civilian version of the military-inspired short-wheelbase Jeep, made '42-'86. Encompasses everything from flat-fenders to Scramblers. Like many other early Jeep designations, "CJ" actually stands for something: Civilian Jeep. Various numbers followed the CJ designation, indicating different body styles within the CJ line:
CJ-2A - A flat-fender, very similar to the military MB ('45-49) except that the headlights bulge out of the grill instead of being inset.
CJ-3A - A flat-fender, very similar to the military M38 ('48-53).
CJ-3B - A flat-fender, the top of its hood sits 4" higher above the fenders than the 3A to clear the new F-head engine ('52-68).
CJ-4 - Only one prototype is known to exist. It was discovered in 1997(?), still in the hands of its second owner. It looks like a 50/50 mix of a CJ-3A and a CJ-5, with only slightly-rounded fenders.
CJ-5 - The civilian version of the M38A1, but with the front shackles under the bumper like most other models. 81" ('55-'71) or 84" ('72-'83) wheelbase. Front fenders are rounded like all subsequent short-wheelbase Jeeps. Easily distinguished from the CJ-7 by a small doorway with a rounded, sloping rear edge.
CJ-6 - Essentially a CJ-5 that was stretched 20" ('58-75), intended for use as a small pickup.
CJ-7 - A compromise between the CJ-5 and CJ-6, having a 93.4" wheelbase (like the YJ and TJ). The body tub is very similar to the YJ and TJ, but the rear wheel wells are round instead of angular. Made '76-'86.
CJ-8 - Also called a "Scrambler." Similar to a CJ-7, but with an extra 10" of wheelbase and an even longer rear overhang. Like the CJ-6, it was intended as a small pickup, but never really found its niche. Only 27,000 were made from '81-'86. Commonly seen with half-cab tops that surround only the front seats.
CJ-10 - A more truck-like Jeep built mainly for export from 1981-85. A small number were also sold to the US Air Force for use in pulling aircraft around runways. These Jeeps had very stout drivetrains compared with their smaller brethren. Easily distinguished by the square headlights in the fenders and the 10-slat grille.
YJ - The original Wrangler, made '87-'95 (though production actually continued into March of '96). Rectangular headlights make it the bastard child of the of the short-wheelbase line. Rear wheel wells are larger and more angled than the CJ-7, but otherwise the two are visually quite similar.
TJ - The second generation Wrangler, made 1997-2006 (actually began shipping May of '96). Round headlights, coil suspension, and a much more car-like interior distinguish it from the YJ.
JK/JKL - The third generation Wrangler, introduced in 2007. It's somewhat larger than the TJ, and has a rounded windshield and body panels. JK is the 2-door version; JKL is the 4-door.
SJ - The full-size Cherokee ('74-'83), Wagoneer ('63-'83), Grand Wagoneer ('84-'91), and J-truck ('63-'87). In 1984, Jeep introduced the down-sized XJ and started calling them Cherokees and Wagoneers, leaving only the Grand Wagoneer in the SJ lineup until its demise in '91.
M-715 - A 5/4-ton military pickup built '67-'69. It somewhat resembles a J-truck (SJ), only bigger and badder. The M-725 was the ambulance version of the M-715.
XJ - The down-sized Cherokee ('84-'01) and Wagoneer ('84-'89?). It was (probably?) the first Jeep to use a unibody chassis.
KJ - The Liberty ('02-present), which replaced the XJ in Jeep's product lineup.
ZJ - The Grand Cherokee ('93-'98), which replaced the Grand Wagoneer (SJ) as Jeep's luxury cruiser after a 1-year hiatus. Though much more aerodynamic than the SJ, it's obviously less rounded than its replacement, the WJ.
WJ - As the more bubble-shaped, aerodynamic replacement for the ZJ, it continues the Grand Cherokee name ('99-04).
WK - The third style of Grand Cherokee has a more angular design than the WJ and also joins the Liberty in having an independent front suspension ('05-present).
?? - The Commander was introduced as the big brother of the WK, offering 7-passenger seating and the 5.7L Hemi V8 ('06-present).
?? - The Patriot is a compact, 4-door, crossover SUV introduced in 2007. It's bigger than the Compass, falling somewhere between the Grand Cherokee and Commander.
?? - The Compass is a compact, 4-door, crossover SUV introduced in 2007. It's smaller than the Patriot, but slightly larger than the Liberty.
MJ - The Comanche pickup ('86-'92). It shares much in common with the XJ of that era, including its front unibody chassis. It replaced the full-size Gladiator and J-truck pickups of the SJ era.
DJ-3A - Dispatcher (postal) version of the CJ-3A, made '56-65. Only 2-wheel drive versions were available.
DJ-5 - Dispatcher (postal) version of the CJ-5, made '65-8? by Jeep and then AM General. Only 2-wheel drive versions were available. A DJ-6 (long, like the CJ-6) was also made from '65-68.
VJ - The Jeepster ('48-50) was an attempt by Willys to spice up their vehicle lineup. 2WD, 72hp, and poor marketing doomed it to be discontinued after less than three years.
C-101 - The Jeepster Commando ('66-73) was an attempt by Kaiser to compete with with the Bronco and TLC. The C101 was part CJ and part Wagoneer, advertised as a "happy combo, racy and rugged." This time around it had 4WD, and came in convertibles, hardtop wagons, and half-cab pickups.
FC - Forward Control pickups, with the cab directly above the engine. Made '57-'63.

You're missing the point. The government is bribing individuals with such a large tax credit to entice them to buy their product. Any other company does any thing similar and they would be brought up for an anti-trust violation.
They are saying that if you buy our car, we won't take as much from you around tax time, A.K.A. bullying.

Bro, companies do this all the time. Discounts, incentives, allowances, cash back, etc etc etc.
It's all the same. The incentive in question is not vehicle, or even manufacturer specific. It would be an unfair practice if they only gave the incentive in their vehicles. But even then, it's the government, you won't win.

the WJ's are 99-04. I've heard the trannys that come with the V8 are rock solid. They also have quadra-drive with the vari-lock axles which would suit you well. One known issue with those models other than the laredo is blend door failure, but there's an easy permanent fix for that. I say go with a WJ, that's what I'm pushing for.

I love my 2001 Grand Cherokee more everyday. Got the new Michelin A/T 2's on there over halloween, and we got a ton of snow last night.
Everyone's cars are plowed in, and it was 3/4 of the way up my tires. Threw her in Full-Time and backed right out, while others were shoveling for 45 minutes.
Felt like a badass.

No problems at all. I just pwned the blizzard we had up in Duluth. People were getting stuck and shoveling out their cars while I just drove by with a smirk on my face.

Never driven it on a beach, but I would guess there wouldn't be any problems after all the powder I have been plowing through with ease.

viscous coupling splits the torque between the front & rear axles in the full time t-cases (247-249)
when it goes out (and it will) it locks up and there is a 50/50 torque split - good for off road - not good at all for driving on the street as it causes terrible wandering issues and binding when cornering/turning - and its really hard on the front end (axles, CV/U-joints, steering components)
in my opinion, the best way to fix it is to replace the full time t-case with a part time t-case (np231 is almost a direct swap) this will get you a 2wd position - excellent with the v8 (will do burnouts for days) gets rid of the binding issues, and saves some wear and tear on the axle and steering components
i did mine (97 GC 5.2L V8 ZJ limited) with sye (slip yolk eliminator) kit and new driveshafts for about $2100

I miss my 90 xj. I put a disc brake setup on the rear axle as pretty much a solo mod and it was a good little SUV. The newer ones suck ass IMHO. Cheaply made renditions of the originals.

anything after the XJ era. so newer than what- 2000 or 2001?
I guess maybe they dont particularly suck ass but I just like the older, simpler jeeps.

Features? Smooth ride?
You want an SUV, not a Jeep.

features= Power windows, power locks, cruise control, 4wd (whether full or part time)
smooth ride= independent suspension
these= jeep grand cherokee

What he recommends ^^. They still suck.. But they suck "less".
As he stated before... You do NOT want any full-time case in the JGC. They do make them with 231s though.. You just can't tell from the advertisement or the "marketing name" that the person posting the ad refers to... The 231s will have part-time 4wd (generally marked on the shift lever) and 2wd - along with lo-range... If it has any AWD or FT 4WD setting, you likely do not want it.

You will not get a smooth ride in any jeep unless you go IFS.... So that essentially means WK or Ghey-J (Liberty). I know you're talking used.. But don't know what budget you're working with... These two models are going to be higher than XJ/ZJ/Bubble-J (WJ) - which have the solid axle D30 up front.

You want to own one... Dave owns one... I would like to (and probably will) own one again... But we can all have comfort in the thought that we understand they suck.
Jeeps are great as a second vehicle. If you have some econobox car, keep it... Rather than search for a nice one, get a beater $1500 XJ for the days when it snows or you wanna zoom around the beach (or whatever floats your boat). The best Jeep is one you can have fun with on the weekend and leave it in the garage/driveway when you drive your clean/unmolested "normal" car to work Monday morning.
