so what is the reason you bought your first jeep ? mine is i wanted to go where ever i wanted when ever i wanted.

I had a Ranger with a long wheel base that I got high centered a lot. I wanted something shorter.

I wanted a Wrangler but they cost too much so I bought a Cherokee and cut the roof off.

My dad had a cherokee and my parents didn't want me to have a wrongler. I liked the cherocars so I bought mine and I've been in love since.

needed something to pull the boat that i got for free...then of course it needed to be lifted, to stop the sagging while towing...then it needed tires to go with the lift. i promise, it did.

All very good reasons

I had a 2wd C1500 (GMC Sierra) and was tired of getting stuck in the snow. My 91 was the cheapest 4x4 I could find. Soooo happy I got it when I did.

I was getting a new truck/car, and i had decided I wanted a 4x4. Everyone told me jeeps make sick little rigs. so i got an xj, and never looked back. Hell im just glad i didnt buy a jimmy, lol.

I always wanted a wrangler as a kid. my dad came across a 93 cherokee sport for 3,000 which was weirdly cheap at the time I dont think anyone wanted to buy it cause it was so cheap lol. we had it for around 9 years total went from family car, moms car, sisters car to me. I beat the snot out of it for its last 60k miles till it died, drove my dads truck till that spun a rod bearing so I had to buy a car quick and jumped on the first cherokee I came across at the time. If I could choose again I would have gotten a different one but I needed a car right away at the time. I loved my first XJ and have loved cherokees since. I want an MJ now though.

Everyone i no that wheels runs toyotas and i looked for one for awhile but they have there problems and parts are getting hard to find and since i work at a junk yard i figured we always have tons of xjs so parts are easy to find and cheap plus my mom had one i always liked it.

Wanted a 4x4 and all I could afford was an SUV I liked the looks of the Cherokee and saw it had more power than the s10 blazer and I didnt like explorers 4 runners were too much $$

I saw a picture of one and I instantly went "that thing looks cool, I'm gunna make that my first car"

I was reading a magazine and they are supposed to be the most reliable and cheap rigs. Picked up my 1993 for $540 and only thing it needed was the grounds refreshed. I love it so far. Goes through more than my 1992 gmc Sierra that has a 6 inch lift so its very capable.

At the time I only had my motorcycle, and rain and cold sucks when all you have is a motorcycle. A buddy of mine had a Cherokee that he didnt seem to like, and he couldnt figure out why the 4 wheel drive didnt work, so he asked me if I wanted it. So I gave him $500, drove it home, spent a whole 15 minutes fixing the 4 wheel drive, and thats how I got my first Jeep.
Funny thing is, I never wanted a Jeep of any kind. Only got it because it was cheap. But now I love it, when this one gets destroyed beyond repair, I plan on getting another XJ or an MJ to replace it. Its probably the most capable stock 4x4 I've had, its reliable, and its fun to drive.

I wanted to just empty every pocket.

It was free. Technically speaking anyway, cost me $600 and change to get it running and safe to drive (the tires had moss growing on them). Then loved it so much after the tranny went out I bought another one.
