Default New guy about to buy first Cherokee

Greetings Cherokee Forum! I'm about to enter the world of the Jeep Cherokee. After a summer long battle to get a Land Rover, I've decided to take the cheap and fun route. I doubt I'll regret this decision. Got a couple of questions about the Cherokee though.

  • Are stock Cherokees any good off road?
  • How much do brush guards and those basket like roof racks usually go for?

Welcome from Wisconsin. Yes they are good in stock condition, off road. Save your money on the brush guard. So you can get an aftermarket bumper.

Welcome to CF!

I wouldn't waste your money on a brushguard unless you can find one for less than $150 used. They don't really do much besides protect the front end from deer. I have one

As far as the roof racks, I have seen them go for $100 used to over $500 new. Here is a good link for a cheap new one:

It was $160 when I bought mine, they seem to have gone up to $180. Good rack. It will cover about 2/3 of the roof.
