Default Hello all, new member and soon-to-be first time Jeep owner :)

Hey what's up, My name is Jonathan. I have been looking for a Cherokee for a while now and originally wanted a 97-01 xj. But, I came across an '87 Cherokee with the auto transmission, and 130k original miles and single owner since new. I went ahead and drove about 2 hrs to see it myself. Well, I met with the owner, a lady, and she told me about her Jeep. It is black with black interior that looks super clean. I popped the hood and the 4.0 looked clean as well no visible leaks. I drove it and I knew this is the Cherokee I wanted. So a week later, I will be picking it up tommorrow and bringing her home. Any input and advice is appreciated as this is my first: Jeep, Cherokee, 4x4. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys here she is. I brought her home Saturday evening and it was a great 2 hour drive. Stayed below the 210 temp and everything felt good. I already know it's going to be fun learning about these Cherokees.
