Hey guys, (and gals)
I have been lurking for nearly a year since I joined this forum but I finally took the plunge and bought a 1996 Cherokee Country 4x4. We currently live in Florida but plan to move to New England within the next two years so this will serve as our winter vehicle.

In the interim, it will be my around-town driver for whenever I am not on one of my motorcycles. The Cherokee is a rust free survivor and my first 4 wheel drive vehicle so I will probably have lots of stupid questions about the care and feeding of transfer case and such. I bought the Cherokee from an elderly man who was the second owner for 2200 bucks and I think I got a pretty good deal, here are some pics:

Thanks. No big plans in the way of upgrades since the PO took really good care of it. I just want to change all the fluids and get a set of wheels to mount winter tires on. I don't really like the honeycomb style wheels that it came with.

One thing I did notice was that there was not a whole lot of elbow and leg room in these Cherokees. I am 5'-17" and weigh about 250 lbs. before I eat breakfast.
