When your neighbors probably hate you for being up a 7am working on your rig

 

Or up till 2 ha ha

 

When your driveway is full of mud. And oil.

 

Me and my crew we all have them almost and we have all been in the hunt to find them for each other

 

Hello, I am new to this forum, and I am so glad to have found a site where people are as passionate about their jeeps as I am! My family thinks I am crazy, but I don't care.
This week, my heart was broken because my 17 year old jeep Cherokee Counrty died. That has been hard for me. I even wrote an Ode to my Jeep which I will post later.
Anyway, I wanted some advice as I was able to locate, in my state, a 2001 Cherokee with standard transmission, which is what I drive and what my jeep was. They are hard to find, but it has 241,000 miles + on it. It rides well, the standard rust, less that mine had, but I am not sure what I should be looking for specifically. Mine only had 168,000 but something happened with the head gasket I think, and it is too much to fix.
Can anyone here give me some tips on what I should be looking for? It rides really well, but has the typical stuff that an old jeep has, some of the dash lights don't go on like when it is in 4 drive, mine did that, window issues that they are going to fix, and the air doesn't blow cold which they need to look at as well.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

Ykydaxjw you laugh at others thinking of head gaskets as difficult
Btw though if it was a head gasket its 50 bucks to fix

YKYDAXJW it's your day off and your bored so you think in your head "could always go do something to the jeep..."

 

Exactly. I think im gonna go clean the interior!

We can do that? I thought cleaning the inside was a car thing... Jk

 

YKYDAXJW you feel the muddier the sexier

YKYDAXJW the "labor costs" involve going out and buying a 6 pack and extra rags.

 

YKYDAXJW no matter how much you try, your jeep still have a swampy smell from your last wheeling trip

 

When you just wanted to drive it so you could get out of the house

 

YKYDAXJW you get all excited when you find an urban wheeling spot behind a target!!!!
