2001 cherokee: PROs/CONs
I've got a chance to buy a 2001 cherokee in great condition, 50,000 miles. Any pros/cons for the 2001 model. I have a '96 and a '99 and I'm happy with those, just considering adding the '01 to my collection.

You can replace the head with an earlier model and or/different casting. Go check out Advance Auto Parts website and see. I'm looking at it now and I can get a #0630 casting for $432.99.

I don't have any genuine complaints about my 01. I've also heard that the heads crack around 50k-70k. Not sure if that's entirely true but it is what I've heard. The coil pack is kind of a pain to deal with for spark plugs but otherwise I think it's a pretty good XJ. Last year model.
