My name is Eric and I have been a Mopar guy since my first car. I've owned two wranglers previous to my cherokee (91 2.5L/5 spd never again lol/ 95 4.0L/ 5 speed miss dearly). Thought I would try a Cherokee out as my Yj's never had any room and am a Jeep Die Hard! All I can say is I LOVE the cherokee. Fits my needs greatly. Its a 96 Cherokee Lifted 6.5" on 35's. I will post pictures later today when I get home. First purchased off a guy who thought the front diff was going out and ended up being frozen calipers .Currently added a RC Winch bumper/9500lb winch and am in the process of doing the no welding roof rack. I 've owned it for about 2 years and its been my daily and most reliable vehicle I have owned. Currenty toy is a Procharged/Cammed SRT8 Charger. Look forward to being a member on here for a long time (so far the posts seem friendlier than Jeep Forums lol)!

Yes I saw that,I like idea of a thumping 4.0litre but fuel cost a joke here,about $2.14/litre.
This diesel gives approx 32mpg.
And same torque as 4.0
