Peter, great choice. Man I love Jeeps, have driven wranglers most of my life and then 2 cherokees. Just something about them.
Good luck up there

So far I am happy with it, although I did have to spend a grand on a transmission sensor. I understand that these problems are not uncommon. I first replaced the cam sensor, didn't help. The car kept stalling, and then after 15 minutes, start right up again! Anyway, I am happy with it for my purposes.

Obviously a man of good taste but I have to say the older models are miles better than the newer ones.

Oh well, put the back seat down and stick it in the back. At least you won't have to lift so high. Big Grin

I thought you African types tied the carcass across the "bonnet" (Where ever in the hell that is)

BTW FYI- a Jeep is not a truck-its a SUV-

Does that make Shakari a YUPPIE?

Never thought of myself as a yuppie but maybe you're right! rotflmo

1984-1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ with 4.0L inline 6 cylinder. Very reliable, low cost. I have put 300K miles on one, never a major problem.

What MPG do you get on those guys?

24 highway, manual trans. Even with 300K miles, oil stays clean. Don't know if this thing will ever wear out with normal maintenance.

Is that diesel?

Either way, it's bloody good but Jeep did always build great vehicles. tu2
