I bought my Jeep from my brother. Cheap. I always liked jeeps. I once owned a j10 keep pickup. I miss it. my lerados engine and trans were rebuilt. I definitely put some money into it. Well worth it. Great four wheel drive. Pulls anything. Snow problem. I live in Wisconsin. We never get snow. Yeah right. It starts on the coldest days. Rides a little rough, but it's an old jeep. Fun to drive. I've pulled alot of vehicles out of ditches with it. Friends mostly. My brother stored it in his shed next to his dog. Get this. Varmints filled the muffler full of dog food. That's a new one.

I owned this 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0 for 10 years, and to get rid of it was a sad day. It had power of a small V8, but could get you from LA to Vegas in one full tank. I could pack a studio apartment worth of stuff in it with the back seat down ( no furniture, of course). As long as I kept fresh oil in it , it rode as smooth as silk. I had a '93 rear transaxle as a replacement for the original one, and had no problems with it. It's extremely flexible as far as part compatability, but you have to make sure you get the right one since its such an open field . My only gripe with it was the cooling system, as you had to keep your eye on it so it would not be in danger of running hot. I suspect that the cooling fan/radiator design was not as efficient at dispelling heat due to its wide 2 fan ( 1 mechanical/1 electric) design. but once that is remedied with minor tweaks and sensor replacements, the truck ran cool even in the summer times ( a lower than OEM temp- thermostat didn't hurt either ;-) ). I sold it as a fixer upper once my engine lost its compression seals at about 360,000 miles. But I saved a lot of money driving the truck due to its low cost maintenance needs. I recommend this model as a fixer-upper for anyone looking for a cheap and reliable ride or an easily modifiable project vehicle.

This vehicle will never let you down. It is minimal on creature comforts and new tech due to its age, but the strength of its drive train , especially its versatile inline 6 cylinder engine, it was worth every penny I spent on it. basically, all it needs is water, grease, and tape to keep moving ( not literally , of course). the engine is lively and pulls with good, steady power all the way to its red line and past its top speedometer reading. You can make a trip to Vegas from LA on 3/4 tank of gas on a clear road, and still ride around town for an hour after. After over 26 years since its production, all of its electronic amenities still function. I admit, am no off roader, so I have not tested its 4x4 capabilities. But I have moved a car full of cargo more than half a dozen times, and it still powers on with great confidence. I would buy it all over again if could.
