Alright so I am new to the forum and looking to buy a Cherokee from a guy I know. I'll give some specs and i would love to know what you guys think about it.
-1997 xj sport
-150k miles
-3.5 inch lift on 31 inch mud terrain tires
-front dana 30 axles
-rear end is from a ford explorer (dana 35s were a little weak)
-oil changed every 2500 miles
-custom stereo
-two full size spares
-no rust and the interior and exterior are in good condition
-new a/c and heat
-I want this to be my daily driver but also have some fun on the weekends
Anything you can let me know will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

 

Well if i had a picture i would have posted it...but i don't so thanks...

 

Sounds good to me... How much?

 

about 4000 which doesn't sound great but people are offering to pay him 6000 but since i'm a friend i guess i get a discount

 

Sounds good to me

 

Yea i thought it was a good truck. I am mainly interested in the ford rear end. Not sure if that will hurt anything?

 

i didnt know 97 had d35s pushing them... musta been one of the first years... i couldnt be happier with the 8.25 under my 98

 

Yea the guy may have put them on there and decided to go with the 8.8s instead

 

4G is a SMOKIN Deal... When I bought mine i researched for a long time... I wouold snag that in a heart beat.. As long as the body is in ok shape.. It has enough miles on it to know that all the bugs are out... Not sure about 97 or older but 98+ had head problems.. Most had an issue about 80,000+ Miles.

Buy it! Fast!!! It will sell for 6G if you dont get it..

 

Thanks a lot!!Yea it it looks like it's in perfect shape really want it gotta work out some minor details first hopefully he doesn't sell it in the mean time! ha

 

Throw the guy some cash to hold it.. Dont let it slip away... Great chance to go wheeling for a budget minded person like me!

 

Thanks. Hey I'll let you know if i end up getting it.

 

Where are you located??

 

sounds like a great deal and the 8.8 is the best way to go without finding a 44 or 60s
