Hello from Virginia.
I'm a owner of a 1999 Cherokee Classic with 180000 miles. It sat for 7 years and now I'm trying to revive him. My main issue is to find a competent mechanic. I need the leaf springs replaced and I have a hard time finding someone to do it. I don't have the experience to do it so I have to hire someone.
Any suggestions or advice?

Welcome from PA

start soaking the hardware in PB Blaster at least 2 times a week until you can get it to a mechanic

 

Welcome. Congrats that's a nice looking XJ At 180,000 miles it's ready for recycling but don't worry,'ll take care of it for you. Send it to me, I'll pay shipping.
Lucky you, that things gorgeous. Have fun and enjoy..

 

Where in the Old Dominion are you located? Doesn't do you much good to recommend a good mechanic in Norfolk if you live in Blacksburg.
