amaurer- Thanks for all of the info, in both this thread and the other one... I really appreciate it. Any idea if HJ60 parts would be cheaper? (I'm assuming they wouldn't, but I honestly have no idea). And, I'm guessing 60 series cruisers are just as mechanically simple as the 40 series?

You know, after thinking more about it, it sounds like an HJ60 would probably be a better choice for me. From what I understand, it's better suited to highway driving than a 40 series, possibly cheaper (correct me if im wrong on that one), has more room and still can get around 25mpg. 25mpg is...

How easy to find are HJ60s?

I'm new here, and started a thread a while back over in the 40 series forum about BJ40s. https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/233534-bj40-questions.html#post3538136 Basically, I currently drive a lifted Jeep Cherokee with a bunch of other mods, get 16mpg at best, have always wanted a...

also, i've got another question... as far as lift kits go, does anyone happen to know how the prices would compare to kits for Cherokees? I'm assuming they would be cheaper, bc of the leaf sprung front end and simpler steering... but someone correct me if im wrong

So with 31in tires and a 4 speed, 55mph is pretty much the max speed? Is that what they come with from the factory?

Thanks for all of the advice, guys. I guess I should have specified a little on my current ride. It's a 2000 Cherokee, and like I said before, I put the lift on myself and have done pretty much all of the work that has needed to be done to it. There are a few things that really appeal to me...

Maybe its not the HJ61 that I'm thinking of then... Whatever the diesel version of the FJ60 was.

I'm new here and have a few questions regarding HJ61s. I currently drive a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ with 5in of lift, 32s and a bunch of other goodies, and am starting to think about getting a Cruiser instead. I love my Jeep, but I read something about the HJ61 series Cruisers getting around 25...

So when you say "there is no comparing it to a Cherokee," I'm assuming you're saying that the Cruiser is a much better vehicle? Also, I do pretty much all of my own labor on my XJ... Would a Cruiser be a lot more difficult to wrench on? And would parts for the Cruiser be a lot more expensive...
