1989 Cherokee Laredo 187k runs great, had 185k when i got it in april 2012. replaced the alternator since. Last time I checked she is getting 22 mpg but that was a mix of highway and city driving.

'92 Sport 218k Miles, HAd it for.... 3 years now? Maybe 4. 3rd owner.
IDK what all the last owner did to it but I've had to replace the clutch twice along with the master/slave cylinders, replace 3 U-joints... And that's it. Everything else was caused by driver error :/
The tranny (AX-15 Manual) is starting to fuss though, it doesn't want to go in gear sometimes and ALWAYS grinds going into reverse. And the ABS is done for, so i just pulled the fuse.

Hehe, Welcome to hell. Turn back while you still can!! Only a matter of time before your wallet is drained....... Too late.
Jokes, you'll be glad you have an XJ in the winter, and once you get some mods on it :P
On the first big snowfall i might sneak over to my old school and reenact my Avatar pic, i hate the angle i took it at and i want to get it up higher.

1987 jeep wagoneer limited. 417k on the clock. Swapped in a motor from an 89 with 150k on it. Got tired of changing the air filter every week from bad piston rings. Body still has zero rust.



4.0 still running well. lifters tick, exhaust needs work, rear end weeks from "pushin up the daisies". pics coming soon
