We had a few Jeeps growing up, a 1988? Cherokee (Last year AMC), that had the straight 6, it was a great car.
I learned how to drive on a '77 Golden Eagle CJ7 had like 33's on it and a suspension and body lift. I'm 6'4" and I had trouble getting in that thing. It was a Blast to drive up in though, the girls loved it.
