I recomend 96 through 98 2 door. I like the open air top, short wheel base, 16 valve power, and as far as the airbag... well I still havent been able to make it go off. Im thinking if you hit something hard enough to make the air bag go off then you will probabally be glad its there. ;) As for family and gear... well we drive it all over the country with the whole family(4 of us) and luggage. Im 6'4" my wife 5'6" and 2 kids 6 and a 9 year old. We arnt tight on space yet but mabey someday. :-/ Everybodys got their opinion, thats why they make so many different kinds of the same rig. What we like may not be what you like. Good luck!  ;)


No sh*t?  You cram all that into your rig?  Holy cow. And I thought mine was tight for space.

Personally, I like my wagon. I'd be hard pressed to buy a 2door, because of all the crap we take along. And sometimes we get sand under our butts and take off to another state in it.  ;D The wagon works out better that way. The benefit of the LWB comes when climbing steep hills, and flying across the desert at high speed.  ::)

I would also get the 16valve. It's way zippier than the 8 valve, and mine is 100k miles and running strong.

All the cool kids drive 2 Doors.. pfffft.

All the kick-butt overacheiver kids drive 4 doors.

LOL

Its all about organization.

We Have driven to Florida the last 3 years ( 4000 Miles round trip)  I have got three Equal size suitcases that perfectly from side to side behind the rear seat. One for me, One for my wife, and one for my kids. Pack what you really need. We have a little cooler that fits behind the center console that holds a 12 pack of pop. The few other things I need to bring like camera cases ECT fit under the seats. Allong with my tools.

If you buy a 94-95 make sure its a 8 valve.

I heard that the 16 valves from those particular years had a lot of problems with the head.

(though this is second hand info so don’t quote me on this)

95 16 VALVE    110,000 MILES NO HEAD HERE YET  ::)

Goddamn.......man........that is a trip.  in your rig?  Not to be funny but is your AC factory or 2/40?  
Wow......this I gotta see.........co workers tracker is jam packed with hunting stuff, 105 lb yellow lab, chest waders, 4 or more shotguns, beer, ammo, food for us and the ****** dog.  PLus decoys and game bags.
Once we came back we had to strap the birds to the roof as they were within reach of his rather powerful jaws.  That's why I got the 4 door so I could fold the seats flat, get the dog cage in there, lay the guns down instead of having them poke us in the ass, plus chest waders.  Its still tight, but more livable that way.  And I got better AC than he does so during dove season, we can sweat it big time in the field but cool off in my hamster.

Wow............all the way to FL and back in your 2 door.  And I though I had a monster trip from PA down there in my 4 door.  You got big ones mike, big ones.
