Hi Guys. Name's James, and I'm from Washington. Well, after many years of having a Jeep Cherokee on my radar, I finally found exactly what I wanted, so I took it home with me. Got a 2001. with power everything. Needless to say, I was pretty happy when the stealership gave me the keys to my new ride. Aside from a couple scratches and a few small dings, the body is in great shape; no rust anywhere, and the black paint is still very shiny. Body is straight as an arrow with all panel gaps even and lining up well. It's apparent that this rig didn't see much off highway use, and judging by the street tires on it, it's not going to see much dirt until I rectify it.

Either way, thanks for providing a forum with good information specifically for these vehicles. Being completely new to Jeep, I will mostly likely be stopping by to lurk or ask questions. Thanks again!

Welcome to the cherokee forum, and nice looking jeep I might add. I wanted a limited 01 Cherokee so bad but ended up buying a 97 with a manual. Where at in washington do you live if you don't mind me asking? I live in south king county.

Thanks again. Took the Jeep out for it's first trip into the woods. It handled itself great as a gun transportation device. Got 18.35 mpg in a combination of driving highway, city, trail riding. Love it!

Holy cow that thing is too clean...I'd be a nervous wreck driving it. Looks really good man! I love em black.

Hey James, Welcome to CF. that's a great looking Jeep. What I can see of the Ramcharger looks good too.

Yup, that was my camping rig for about seven years. Sold it the day after I got the Jeep.



Made for a great Halloween Decoration too. Everyone loved it.

Looked nice. What year? I had an '84.

She's a 1990. Has a 360 under the hood. Rebuilt back in 2007 when gas was still 2 bucks a gallon - not that MPG was a big motivating factor in selling it. We needed something a little more practical with kids, which came in 2008.

Nice. Had my '84 back in '96. It was 2WD, so I had a 440 w/a 727 trans installed in it. Ran pretty good.

Hello and welcome from England!
Nice looking Jeep!

Thanks again guys. That's a nice looking Ramcharger. Always liked the 2wd versions. I had a buddy do the same with his: 440 backed by a 727. He installed a Dana 60 in the rear and the thing was a snot rocket. Note to self: header dumps are freaking sweet!
