Jeepz, help me make a decision!?

[KrazyJeeper]

Ok folks, I am in need of advice. Gas prices suck and I don't think there going down, and the wind in Central Texas sucks also, so here is my problem. I have an 98 XJ with 85,000 miles and a 00 TJ with 25,000 miles. The TJ is a 4 banger. I am thinking about selling it and buy something that I can commute in. Oh, the TJ has a 3 inch BDS with 33's, so you can imagine how I pudder down the road. The XJ also has a 3 inch with 31's but I have plenty of pedal left. Should I sale? and if so, which one. And If I do, how much should I ask. Neither one has been taken off road and beat up. After a post I made last night I started looking at my usage and I usually drive the XJ until I am low on gas money and even though I love the TJ, I always seem to get frustrated trying to keep going down the road. The blue book on the TJ would roughly be 9-10k. Sorry for the sporadic post, I tried to get to the point quick which I didn't do and I do respect the opinions here so please help me make a decision. BTW, I want better gas mileage, but I will not replace either Jeep with a car. Maybe a pickup or a Compass. Just kidding on the Compass. LOL, Take Care, KJ

Decide which one you want for a weekend vehicle, keeping in mind that the annoyances of driving the TJ on the road may not bother you as much once you have a more fuel effecient daily driver. That's all I got.

Either way you go swap the 33inch tires to your keeper. My 4banger turns 35s.

punch some numbers. how much are you going to "lose" by trading or selling one of your jeeps? how much would you spend? if you go out and buy some beater, it might be cheaper, but in the long run, over the next year, if you spend X amount on a new commuter, are you really going to save more than you would on gas?
