Got it in May of '08, so I was 25, almost 26. Loved 'em since I was a little kid, but never found one that really said, "Buy me!" until then.

14 years 6 months old February 3rd 2002 I got a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo.
Red
4 Door
4.0
5 spd
4x4
243K miles when I got it.
It died for good the summer before my senior year. It had 298K the rings were totally shot on it. If I knew then what I know now I would have kept it haha. I tried to find it last year to buy it back. I found out the the last owner gave it away to a kid that then took it to scrap metal yard. UGHHHHH haha.


So when it was time to build and off road rig my decision on what vehicle I wanted was rather simple. I have always missed that thing.
