Default New Cherokee Owner

Hi guys! I'm new to the Jeep family! I'm a college student working a full time job and living in Austin, Tx! I got my Jeep a few weeks before Christmas (2012). It's my first vehicle and I love it! It's a white 1998 Jeep Cherokee.

Had a few problems with him (yes it's a him ) a month into owning him. The wiring in the transmission was wonky, he had no windshield washer nozzles and the little pump was cracked as well, old headlights, passenger window didn't work at all, ac didn't blow cold air, and had bad tires (almost had a blowout). Even with him needing to be fixed up and it being costly to fix, dropped over $1500 (new tires, parts & labor on the other stuff), I still love my Jeep.

Next up to fix/buy:
the oil cap (apparently the one currently on there is broken),
the hood since it looks like he has a sunburn and is peeling

So yeah that's me and my Jeep wrapped up in a nutshell! Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and if you have any comments or suggestions let me know!

The pics below is of my Jeep on the day i got him and of the new tires I bought in April.

Lookin nice! Welcome to the forum. Anything you'll ever need to know or need help with--you can find it right here. you'll want to get a toolbox and start your tool collection and get ready to get dirty if you plan on keeping and modifying your Jeep! (that's what I did!)
