Wink new girl
Hey, just trying to find some friends on this site. I'm new on here and i'm hoping to find some people with a similar 1995 cherokee... my baby has 360,000 miles on it and has quite a few things that need to be fixed. the rubber bushings on top of my shocks have pretty much disintegrated and need replacement. I have some huge holes in the floor that are only covered by the interior carpet. So far I've replaced my rocker panels, brake line, brake pads, and a few other misc. things. So far, nothing huge or major has been wrong, but for some reason my dad has absolutely no faith in it. My goal is pretty much to get it to 500,000 miles. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Welcome! I'm new as well, to the forums and Jeeps.

How much did replacing the rockers cost you? I need mine done and am wondering what to expect.

They cost a little over a grand and I had a little bit of a discount. Mine were pretty bad though, they had rotted out all the way through in some places
