Hi All

Only three hours away from picking up my first Jeep Cherokee, a 1997 4.0LTD. Test drove it yesterday and it was a no-brainer not to buy it!

Can't wait to sink myself into the leather seats again and enjoy it! Have been a Land Rover driver for the last three years, but after driving the Cherokee, there's no way on earth I would go back to a LR.

Looking forward to sharing experiences (good and bad!) with you all.

Cheers

Hi mate. Welcome back to jeep. I have a similar ZJ to you. Bloody awesome. Although I want the 2.7 diesel next. I am from Near Corby Northants. No lanes near here really, how about you?

right on man welcome to the joy of xjs!

Mines an XJ, if I understand correctly you have a Grand Cherokee (that is the ZJ isn't it?). Either way, cracking vehicles both of them (my mate has the ZJ)!

There are a few gentle lanes near me that I used when I had my various Land Rovers, nothing too extreme though.

Yeah, it's the ZJ. cracking car for only £900 a year ago!! Much better than the frontera it replaced!

Same here! Sold my 1986 leaking, rusting Defender for nearly £3000 and got a real beaut 1997 XJ for only £1100. No comparison :laughing:

Hi mines a 1995 XJ 2.5 turbo diesel mint condition, 120K on clock had a ford maverick 2.4 petrol before (waste of space)

Hello I'm from the states but been here since 2002. I'm on my 6th jeep the best mode oh transport ever made. I have 97 XJ mint only 108,000 on the clock will send pic soon.
