hi guys im new to the site and have been looking to get a cherokee for some time now. I found this one in mississippi and am leaving at 5am to make the drive to go get it and bring it to its new home. I will post more pics when i get it back home and get it all cleaned up. Tell me what you think, sorry for the crappy pics not sure why they are so small?

Pics were way to blurry, once you got it take some new pics so we can tell what it looks like. Congrats!

ok well yesterday i drove all day with a trailer to go pick it up and when i got there it was not what the owner said it was. The kid sent me pics that the previous owner sent him! He said there was no body damage other than a couple door dings, this thing looked like it spent its whole life in the woods the roof had been hit by tree limbs with a massive dent right behind the front winshield, 3 out of 4 fender flares were broken and flapping around both rear quarters were buckled the pass door hit the front fender when opened the rear hatch had 2 big dents at the top by the roof line, the hatch would not open due to a broken latch and the door panels were hend on by wood screws also the drip edge on both driver and pass sides were all bent up. So i was quite pissed off and drove back empty handed. So if anyone wants a 97 jeep thats runs great but looks like **** pm me and i will give you the owners #

That is enough to **** off the Pope. I hate sellers that blue sky you and say it's a perfect vehicle only to find out it's no better than a tricycle.

till me what you guys think? i contacted the seller and he is out of town but i am first in line if i want it he is going to contact me on friday so we can meet up. He doesnt know a whole lot about the jeep as he is the 2nd owner, if he sends me pics of the axles how can i tell what they are or should i say if they have been swaped out for something stronger than stock to handle the 37's. Also he said this jeep has 12" of lift does it look like 12" to you guys if so will it flex or just fall over?

ok well i have tried to post the pics but this forum will not let me post the size it was so i resized it and now the kb's are too high wtf im no computer guru so can someone just reply sorry no pics

This is how you can tell which axles are in it....

We know its not a D35 atleast... nobody would be daft enough to put 37s on a d35.

I beg to differ... 2 months ago in Clarksville TN i saw an ad on Craiglist for a cherokee on 4.5 inches and 37's... He wanted $6900!!!
*** W/ a D35

You could always buy a blue 99 I have at my parents house in middle tn. Assuming you're not afraid of rust.
