opinions on cheap, older, high-miles Cherokees

Handywired · 2004-12-29T06:17:00+00:00

I need a good family camping/skiing/adventure rig. My TJ has been good enoughto me that I am considering a Cherokee even though they have a terriblereliability rating (but then, so does the TJ and mine has been great). I seedecent ones from the mid-90's for as cheap as $3000 or so; considering thatthis rig will be rode hard and put away wet, with dogs, food, gear, kids, etcin and out, I am leaning towards just such a cheap "beater" for this purpose,rather than a probably more reliable but much more expensive Toyota or Nissanor other Japanese SUV.So... how do cherokees hold up once they get some miles piled on 'em? I'd getthe 4.0L with the auto tranny most likely.-jeff-jeff

Well Lon, I'm certainly thankful I didn't get the same "education" you did.

I'll take it that means you have no real answer, and that we can resume our normal programming.

So... how IS life in that alternate reality you live in?
