Default Re: What other toys other than a Crossfire do you have ?

It came with every option Jeep offered standard (except for block heater, and tow package).
Leather Interior, Infinity Gold 160 watt 9 speaker stereo (pretty good for '98), automatic (manual not available) , full time 4 wheel drive, special MESH grill (something about those mesh grilles) 16" wheels, dual hood scoops (grilles), special 5 spoke alloy wheels, sun roof.

Again, all of the aforementioned was STANDARD EQUIPMENT for the 5.9 model.

It now has 120,000 miles on it, and I use it as my bad weather vehicle and to go fishing on the beach off road.

It has been off road at Jeep Jamborees and kept up with the CJ's and wranglers for the most part.

This was the only year this special high performance GC was made with the 360, and until 2007 with the advent of the SRT-8 GC, was the fastest Jeep ever made.

It also has pi**ed off a lot of people at the stop light. All and all, one hell of a fun vehicle. My all-time favorite, next to my baby, my Crossfire.
My brother had one of those...put in an intake, chip and exhaust and that thing REALLY woke up...they are real sleepers.
