I currently am driving a 88 5speed 4.0 cherokee. 31's & 3.55's, 4 door..decent little rig. However I'm starting to feel its small for camping trips/gear and I always loved the old Square Burbs. My Xj gets full, and if I were to have 4 people come on a trip with me, it'd get cramped quick!
I found this on my local CL listings and idk but it keeps calling to me.

I believe the guy said 82, 350, 4speed manual, np208 I believe..he said chain driven transfer..said he swapped in 3/4 tons, front is equal to a D44 out of a diesel? And a corporate 60 in the rear..both with 4.10's & both are posi according to the owner. Front is all leafs around 7", rear is blocks around 6"..has 38" tires..
I dig the barn doors & standard trans, and I would drop it down and trim it some to run 35's at most. I figure the Burb would be alot better Expo/Camping rig with so much more space...and the fact that its BIG & steel makes me feel safe having my own daughter in it. What are my do's/don't and concerns here guys? What are the issues with these older Burbs? I don't really like the whole carb'd thing but is it an issue?
Mileage wise with say a 3" and 33's or 35's, and the 4speed & 4.10's what would I be looking at? Currently around 19/24 in the jeep.
I'm thinking of trading + 250-500 on his end. Then I could sell the 500-700 in jeep parts I have and fix the Burb..sell the tires and get cheap 35's or even 33's maybe ectect.
