Back in the saddle again!
Well my user name says 92muddycherokee because when I joined here I had a 92 Limited. I had owned the cherokee for around 3 years and put it through hell. Long story short: I sold it while I could still make something on it.
Decided to give a Wrangler a try. Thought it was awsome for about a week. Then I realized it sucked, no power! 2.5 4cyl top speed 60. Bad clutch, no top and no room at all. No security at all. would have made a great toy but I wanted something capable of being driven daily.
I sold the Wrangler for 1500.00(i bought it for 1000) and was searching Craigslist like crazy for a week. Just about gave up for a while then I found this,
1995 Cherokee Sport
Dana 30 front
Chrysler 8.25 rear
Budget lifted 2"
5 33" BFG AT's on American Racing steel wheels. I don't know why 33's on only 2" of lift. When it comes time to replace them I will go with 31" unless I can talk my self into a 4.5" lift....we'll see
Body has 231,000miles. Engine came out of a jeep with 90,000 and has about 100,000 on it now.
Runs great
NP231 command trac
New ps gear box, reservoir, new power steering lines.
Nice radio
Very little rust
The only thing it will need is a starter. Solonoid is going out, have to hit it with a hammer sometimes.
I love it. I missed my cherokee.
Got it for $1500 I thought it was a good deal even with the miles since the engine is fairly new.
The body is in amazing shape for that many miles. I need to give it a good wax and clean the upholstry but it was very well taken care of. The tires don't rub right now but I imagine they will off road. I don't plan to take it off road much at all for the rest of the year. I want to get it right before making her work. Going to be great this winter.
Well here she is: please let me know what you think.
