Default US Forest Service Cherokee

I have been trying to find a US Forest Service Cherokee for a while. I use to see them everywhere but can't find one to save my life. I currently have a 91 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with no power options. I want another one but would love to get an old forest service rig. Anyone have any idea of where to find these anymore. Hell, they use to be a dime a dozen around here but I can't find one to save my life anymore. I got a thing for no options, bad paint colors, and steel wheels. What can I say?

I have been on Ebay and Craigs with no luck and found some old auctions from a while back. Guess I will just keep my eyes open. I just really want a basic one. Rubber floor mats and all.

My first one was a '91 Forest Service XJ. I bought it from a guy who got it at a public auction. It only had 80,000 miles when I bought it in '05! The driver's seat was a bit worn but all others looked brand new. I loved the rubber mat until I realized water was trapped underneath causing rust, so I pulled it, killed rust, bedlined it, and put the rubber mat back down. It was a great vehicle that I wish I still had.

Yup pretty much. I usually see em in that light pastel green but this is exactly what I'm lookin for (as long as its a 4x4) They are hard to find down here.

Thanks for the link tire guy.

Call the local US Forest Service office in your area and ask them how they dispose of their old vehicles.

What is sad is I just saw one with the lighter green paint in a jy in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday. The body was in good shape but it was a C4C trade in so the engine was trashed. DAMN YOU government programs!!!!!

I got mine at an online auction:

Old post, but good luck. Took me 9 months for the perfect one to drop (00 Manual).
