Default Hello from NW OH
Hey there! New guy here!
I just bought a loaded 1996 Cherokee Country with 140K on it.
I paid $500 for it - I think I got a good deal!
It misses at idle, but runs fine once you actually accelerate (seems to get better as the truck warms up), needs some cosmetic work (rusty front bumper and dent in left rear quarter, needs a driver's seat) and a few mechanical things (tires, sway bar link to name a few), but I am looking forward to owning it. It is my first Jeep, and my first 4WD vehicle I have ever owned.
I will try to post some pics for your viewing pleasure.
Glad to be here!

Yeah, it does - I'm afraid it can't be pulled and will need a new quarter welded in... Not sure I want to sink that kind of coin into a $500 truck...

Welcome to the site, and it is worth sinking coin into it. looks like a good find, I know if it was mine I'd fix it.

Welcome from Wisconsin. I believe Quadratrac had them listed for about $70. Nice find and I would fix it.
