I was driving the other day and thought about the shear volume of cherokees i see on the road. Then i thought, you know the last ones basically came out ten years ago. And even though 90% are stock street cars, it just goes to show how dang releible they are. Chrysler got one right, haha. thats all

it's one of those vehicles that refuses to die. they are inexpensive, yet highly capable pieces of machinery, and you can't get that combination with most other vehicles that claim to be 4x4 SUVs anymore.

I notice that as well. Popular then, still now. Anyone else notice that in the movies, the vehicle of choice that ends up destroyed is usually a Jeep? Mainly a Cherokee or a Grand.

I built mine because I didn't want a Wrangler at the time cause I ride in winter and like heat and you saw maybe two or three others on the trail. Last ride I counted 37 and there were only about 50 vehicles there. Let someone say they don't make good trail vehicles. I think the numbers speak for themselves. Have I told you that I love my Jeep?

Yeah, I think it is the same story everywhere haha.

Cherokee's everywhere to put it simple. Lots of nice ones, a few ****ty ones, but they're all running.

one AMC vehicle want to get a hold of is an SX4. my friend has a '99 Volvo S70 he has nothing but problems with, and when he moves back from florida to michgan i am convincing him to buy a cherokee or an AMC. so that way, we'll have the dynamic duo of some-what off-color vehicles zipping around rich-kid neighborhoods, lol.
