I'd keep the Jeep. I'd much rather have a rock solid go anywhere truck than a CRV.
I have too many cars!! Help!

Doesn't help I lowered it
, lol. I really don't have much interest in adding power to the CRV. I don't want a loud exhaust from it and I already tried an intake which didn't help at all. Short of swapping heads, motors or turbo charging there isn't much else and none of those options sound all that appealing to me.
Ha, my bad. I don't know how to edit polls to add a Rob option. Normal around town driving the CRV actually does much, much better than my Jeep. It's AWD system works well and I've got a nice pair of snow tires. The Jeep has no ABS, a bad transfer case and not so great tires, it currently doesn't fair so well.No rob option. OP is slacking.
Considering how sporadic weather changes are here in CO, I'd drop the CRV and put that money into the Jeep.
If I really wanted some bang for my buck, I'd drop both of them and look for a Nissan D21 Hardbody. I have a big love for those little trucks, and they are incredibly strong. Decent enough gas mileage, and you won't have to deal with the Subaru bashing. Although, an Outback doesn't sound like a bad idea either, I have a bias towards Hardbodies.
I've never been much of an older Nissan fan, no real reason why, they just never appealed much to me. Might have to take a look.91 318is M50 swapped

IXs aren't worth it. A good set of snows and it'll be more than enough for the 5-10 days of snow you'd actually benefit from AWD. I honestly wish I didn't have one, but I've put so much time, money, blood, and sweat into mine I can't ever walk away.AWD > RWDComment

My E30 with a good set of snows never once gave me trouble in the winter. Most cars with a good set of tires will get you around just fine in 95% of snow storms.91 318is M50 swapped

Shit, my vert's got snows on the caps and summers on the weaves, and I've yet to have a moment where I've been stuck. That extra vert weight helps though.

My sister is looking to get rid of her 04 Forester 5spd non-turbo in early May if you decide to go the Subaru route.
Edit: forgot to mention she is located in Longmont.Last edited by jpod999; 02-09-2016, 10:53 AM.Comment

I DD a 00' Outback in the winter. My Outback is a manual so it's general lack of power can be circumvented, but I do wish I had the H6 instead of the little flat four. If I were to buy another it would be one with an H6.
Did you know that an Outback has 8.7" of ground clearance? Stock. Which is more (just barely) than a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Granted it doesn't have a low range, body-on-frame, etc, that make it a stellar off-roader, but it holds it's own.
Food for thought, consider your ground clearance needs. Are you rock crawling? Then keep the Cherokee.
But if I were in your shoes, I think I'd probably sell the Cherokee and the CRV and find a decent Subaru. But I'm biased.
Oh and here is 4.44 gears for you:

I'd ditch both, but offroading on 4 wheels isn't really my deal. Dirt bikes FTW.
Of the two SUVs, I'd ditch the CRV. They're painfully boring, though practical, vehicles. Loud, anemic, and not very good off-road on account of the fragile and locker-free 4WD system.Comment
