1999 Jeep Cherokee
Just bought this 1999 Jeep Cherokee. Drove home 100 miles or so back to Pennsylvania and got it inspected yesterday. It seems to be in decent shape, a little noisy over bumps so I'm getting some rubber bushings and front end shocks replaced.
It also has a dent in the drivers door that will need to be fixed and the roof needs to be painted.
Some odd electrical issues will also need to be addressed.
I haven't had a jeep in a long time.

Welcome to the Forum. Is the dent something you can have a paintless dent repair guy fix? Had one that spanned the horizontal crease on the passenger front door and it came out fine.

Rear Shocks a big improvement
After a couple of days of effort this Cherokee is much nicer to drive. Never new there could be so much noise from bad shocks.

I tried one paintless dent repair and got a reply that it was beyond his skill and he wanted 750 to paint it in his shop. I saw you expanded reply to keep looking for the right guy... So I am going to keep looking. I appreciate your comments on this topic.

The pdr guy couldn't fix it, but a body shop guy pulled it out flush. Had to replace and paint the flare, but it was a couple hundred total.
The deer did not make it. Surveyed a clean break in the neck. If I hadn't been driving an Israeli Yemeni friend to the airport on a tight scedule, I'd have picked up the deer carcass.
