"Presents" from previous owners
What kind of treats did you find working on your Cherokee that the previous owner cobbled together for you to deal with?
-example: Was looking into replacing shocks, looked at the upper rear shock mounts, WELDED! When they were putting the lift in they broke the upper bolts off in the rear. Instead of drilling and tapping the holes, it seemed like a good idea to them to just weld in the new shocks. I can hardly wait to change them now!

There was a bunch of little stuff like the radio was wired wrong, but the worst was that the seller put odor eater in that lasted until I rolled down the window in the interstate only to get physically ill on the 2 hour drive home from dog **** saturated carpet. What a mess of a drive that was.

The ' 94 Cherokee I bought 2 years ago, the P.O. decided to wire up the headlights to the stereo. So if I want to play the stereo, without the key in, all I have to do is turn headlights on.

Three open cans of 3in1, a Garcia fishing rod and reel, 2.00 plus in change under the rear bench seat and a pot pipe cocked and loaded.
